Default Mother's Powerball

I would like to purchase one of these but not sure which one would be the most used they have the larger powerball and the mini with the extension. Will both of these work with a rechargeable power drill and which one would you recommend? Thanks.

I know this is kind of off topic but when anyone responds, could you let me know what a powerball is? I keep thinking of the lottery...

I bought the mini powerball and it works really well. I have a few tips for you though when you first start using it.

1). Turn the power drill's setting from high speed to high torque... you don't want the speed too high or the powerball tends to skip and it's hard to control.

2). Use a liquid metal cleaner, not a paste. The liquid is much easier to use and the paste is hard to apply and it doesn't stay on as well on the powerball.

Have fun with it, it really does work well! Cut my cleaning times by about 60% easily
