Drills & Safety

A further vital thing to consider is the amount of voltage a cordless drill driver has as the higher the voltage the more speed and torque the drill will have. The speed and torque of a cordless drill driver will help to determine how easy and fast the drill is to use. Over the years the amount of voltage that these power appliances have has increased and manufacturers such as Bosch and Hitachi now produce a range of cordless drill drivers including 12v, 14.4v and 18v. What needs to be considered here is that the more voltage the drill has the larger the battery will be thus affecting how heavy the drill will be.

An SDS drill uses a unique type of chuck that does not require any tightening. The special SDS drill bits simply slot into place and are held until released. Hammer action is available on SDS type drills, however it is achieved using a slightly different method over the more traditional Hammer Drill. The SDS drill bit moves within the chuck itself rather than the more conventional method of having the whole chuck move. This is due to the way the SDS drill bit is held within the chuck. The SDS drill bit has short grooves running along the length of its body that the chuck clips into. These grooves allow the bit to move in and out and when pressure is applied to the end of the bit within the chuck the bit is forced out slightly creating the hammer action. Some SDS Drills have rotary stop which is able to switch off the rotary action and leave just hammer action allowing the drill to be used as a breaker or demolition hammer with a suitable chisel bit. Drills come in two standard sizes and they are SDS Plus (10mm) and SDS-Max (18mm). These sizes relate the size of the shank. SDS Plus is the most common and can withstand a hammer of up to 4Kg, and SDS Max for hammers over 5Kg. SDS Plus grips the drill bit in two places whereas SDS Max grip in three places. With the SDS drill you can use a chuck adaptor that when used enables the use of standard drill bits for rotary drilling. It is wise to avoid SDS Drills that do not have a safety clutch. If the drill bit jams and is unable to turn a safety clutch will stop the drill body from spinning. This spinning might cause severe damage to the wrist and arm with the possibility of the drill being yanked from your hand, jumping out of the hole and coming into contact with a part of the body. A safety clutch might be high on your list of required features.

Drills come in three distinct handle styles. The most popular cordless models have the T-handle style where the handle is placed near the middle. The T-handle style distributes the weight for better balance and less wrist strain. Some people still prefer the more traditional pistol-grip style. The third style is the right-angle version, made for use where space is at a premium.

Drilling softwood, hardwood, metal, and masonry all require different drill speeds. Harder materials or larger drill bits have to be worked at lower speed. Conversely, softer materials and smaller drill bits might be used at higher speeds. Look for a drill with variable speed. Variable speed allows the user to control the bit speed, indispensable when you plan on working different materials and accessories.

Depending on the choice of material for the anode, cathode, and electrolyte the voltage, capacity, life, and safety of a lithium ion battery might change dramatically. Lithium ion batteries are not to be confused with lithium batteries, the key difference being that lithium batteries are primary batteries containing metallic lithium while lithium-ion batteries are secondary batteries containing an intercalation anode material. Lithium-ion batteries can be formed into a wide variety of shapes and sizes so as to efficiently fill available space in the devices they power. Li-ion batteries are lighter than other equivalent secondary batteries, often much lighter.

Unlike Ni-Cd batteries, lithium-ion batteries might be charged early and often. However, should they are not used for a long time, they might be brought to a charge level of around 40% - 60%. Li-ion batteries might be kept cool. Ideally they are stored in a refrigerator. Aging will take its toll much faster at high temperatures. The high temperatures found in cars cause lithium-ion batteries to degrade rapidly. Storing a Li-ion battery at the correct temperature and charge makes all the difference in maintaining its storage capacity. It is significantly beneficial to avoid storing a lithium-ion battery at full charge. A Li-ion battery stored at 40% charge will last numerous times longer than one stored at 100% charge, particularly at higher temperatures.

An electric or portable (battery powered) drill can be a scary thing. But they aren’t hard to use. The most common drill drivers come in a pistol shape, making them easy to hold and use. The drill has a trigger you squeeze in order to make the drill bit turn. Sometimes there is also a safety button located on the pistol handle that has to be pressed at the same time you squeeze the trigger in order to make the drill bit turn. The battery pack is usually inserted into a docking station on the bottom of the pistol handle. Between uses the battery pack is charged in another docking station which is connected to an electrical outlet.

To drill a satisfactory hole in any material, the correct type of drill bit must be used; it must be used correctly and be sharpened as suitable. Many jobs around the house require a hole of some kind to be drilled - whether it is putting up a shelf, building a cabinet or hanging a light fitting. For basic requirements, a set of high-speed steel twist drill bits and some masonry drill bits will probably be sufficient for the average handyman. But for more sophisticated jobs/material, others drill bits will be required - perhaps larger, or made for a specific material/purpose. Good quality drill bits can be expensive, so take care of them, keep them in a case or box should possible, rather than allowing them to roll around loose in a toolbox where the cutting edges may be damaged.

With their central point and two spurs, Bullet drills resemble spur point drill bits, but might be used in metal, wood and plastics. Unlike normal twist drills, the twisted flutes are ground away; making a truer, more accurate bit than normal twist drill bits. They cut a clean hole and cause little damage when they break through the back of the workpiece. Bit sizes range from 1.5 to 13 mm.

DIY Safety tips:

Always unplug an appliance before working on it and always use the correct fuse for the circuit or appliance. Fitting a fuse of incorrect rating is dangerous. As an additional precaution, wear rubber soled shoes. This will provide a measure of insulation between you and the ground.
When fixing or checking electrical appliances or connections, always switch off the power and remove the fuse or circuit breaker (MCB). If you're fixing an electrical appliance, switch off the appliance at the plug and pull out the plug. Wear rubber-soled shoes when working on electrics. Cover electrical switches which are broken. Switch off at the mains and remove the fuse to that line, and keep it with you, so even should the power is switched on accidentally the line will stay dead and not you, while you carry out a job. The tapes are a reminder for you and a warning to others. Call in professional help should you do not know what you are doing.

Take extra care when removing artex or textured paint from walls as these materials may contain asbestos. Safety precautions must be followed when handling and disposing of asbestos. Contact your local environmental health department for advice.

Take extra care with old paint. Some old paint could give off harmful dust and pose a poisoning hazard should ingested by small children. You must not burn off old paint or rub it down with dry sandpaper or a power sander; you might clean up properly, using a high efficiency industrial vacuum cleaner with heavy duty filters. Have a basic First Aid kit accessible.

Wear safety goggles whenever there may be a danger of flying debris - for example when using power tools.
