I use one of those also...the adjustable version. I've been using it for maybe 12 years, and the friend who co owns it and I have run well over 700 batches of grain through it. Still works great.

That is about a batch per week...that is a lot of brewing!

To be accurate, I should have "we" have run that much through it. Since we co own it, we both use it for our own brewing.

Why didn't the CL mill work out?
Does one need a certain amount of powered drill to run a Barley Crusher? I have a drill, never used it for my mill, but not sure it's powerful enough.
This is the one I have: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002TXNX0/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00

CL mill didn't work out because the seller contacted me just before I was to meet him and said that he had someone offering $145. Considering he originally agreed to sell it to me for $65, I told him to go ahead and sell it at $145. Good for him, but more than I wanted to pay for what he had. It's not an urgent piece of equipment, but something I'll be adding to my set up in the near future.
The drill question is a good one. I've got a couple of chord less drills, my Ryobi 18V One+ being the most powerful of the bunch. I hope one of them will be able to run my mill when I get one.

I tried to run a mill with a cordless, not a super powerful one but I am pretty sure it was 18V. It worked... for about 5 minutes then the battery was dead. went out a got a 20$ corded drill and that works much better. Just have to feather the trigger to keep it from going to fast or binding up.
