Power Drill
A power drill is a handheld tool that uses a rotating bit to make holes in various materials or drive fasteners into place. Drills come in several varieties
Variable Speed Driver - The most common type, the chuck rotates at higher or lower speed depending on trigger pressure.
Impact Driver - Uses a spinning hammer and anvil inside the drill to knock the chuck in a rotating motion. Impact drivers can loosen fasteners easier and tighten them further. When used in the wrong application, overtightening can damage wood.
Hammer Drill - The rotating chuck also hammers forward and back for added impact. This motion also helps to clear material when drilling into concrete or cement.
Prepare Before Use
Choose the right drill bit for the job.
Driver bits are available for any screw, bolt or fastener
Spiral shank are best for making pilot holes
Spade tip bits can drill holes through any thickness at a 90 degree angle
Hole Saws are cleaner and can be easier on your wrist, but are limited by their depth
Fit the bit into the chuck at the tip of the drill and tighten it securely.
Most corded drills have a chuck key which fits into the teeth of the chuck for added tightening strength.
Tool Tips
Hold the drill firmly and apply pressure to the bit as you drill into the material.
