Electric Starter or Drill Starter Question

Ok so after some research with several other guys, I have found out this Jumpstart bit that comes with the extreme roto starter is sold at lowes for 9.99

http://www.lowes.com/pd_269842-65481-49MESCBP966_0__?Ntt=troy+bilt+jump+starter+bit&UserSearch=troy+bilt+jump+starter+bit&productId=3415794&rpp=32

But the requirements are 14v minimum and 1000rpm minimum spinning drill.

So my drill doesn't carry the voltage mine is only 12v and spin at 900 rpm

So I decided to purchase the Troy Bilt starter that is desiged for the bit and has it's own bit installed.

So now it starts like a snap!!!!

I also purchased the corded version also

I ordered this exact setup, but the screws for the flywheel don't fit.. Did you use different screws than what came with the kit?

I ordered a new flywheel, it's a factory replacement and the screws fit fine. Idk why the original flywheels holes were smaller than normal :s
