Henrik,

Haven't seen an answer to this, so here goes...

Power sources (in various incarnations) for the motor drive:

M 18V Control Grip 1 and 2 (minor cosmetic differences, functionally
identical)

M 15V NiCd Control Pack 1 and 2

I know both Control Grips can be used on both motor drives. I don't know if
the NiCd Control Pack 2 can be used on the MD1. If you get the Control Pack
then you also need a charger for it. The MD is physically smaller than
either of the Winders, but that's *without* the grip or NiCd pack attached.
As far as I know, both the grip and NiCd pack can be attached to the MD via
Relay cords, which are available in a number of lengths.

The Control Grip doesn't seem to be all that rare/expensive. The NiCd Packs
either, for that matter. The NiCd pack doesn't add much bulk or weight, the
Grip is fairly large/heavy but does function as a grip, as well.

I can buy an MD1 for $50 here. But then I will have to get all 
different kinds of powersupplies, right?
Are they rare/expensive? Will the MD not be a lot heavier/bulkier 
with powerpacks?
