Some DIY Tips

The initial thing you should think about when selecting a cordless drill driver should be the battery pack as the more volts your cordless drill driver has the more torque you will get. This essentially means that the motor will spin faster creating more power. The only drawback with this is that the more volts your drill has the heavier it will be.

A Hammer Drill is not only able to provide a rotary motion but may also apply a small amount of hammer action to the drill bit, as though someone was tapping the back of the drill while the bit was spinning. This enables the drill to work through masonry. A Hammer Drill will typically have the ability to switch the hammer action off and on as required. You will find that motor wattages start around 600w for this type of drill and a good idea is to look at machines with around a 700w motor, these will enable you to drill masonry with up to a 16mm bit. This type of drill is a good all rounder for the home.

Before cordless drill drivers arrived, many drills had pistol grips, where the handle is behind the motor like the handle of a gun. But many of today's cordless models are equipped with a T-handle: The handle base flares to stop hand slippage and accommodate a battery. Because the battery is centered under the weight and bulk of the motor, a T-handle provides better overall balance, particularly in heavier drills. Also, T-handle drills can often get into tighter spaces because your hand is out of the way in the centre of the drill. But for heavy-duty drilling and driving large screws, a pistol grip does let you apply pressure higher up — almost directly behind the bit — allowing you to put more force on the work.

Factors such as temperature, the material being drilled, whether the drilling is nonstop or intermittent, and the whether the battery is at full charge or not will affect a cordless drill driver's battery charge. The standard time required to charge a battery pack will vary from one hour to overnight, depending on the type of tool and charger. Recharge when the drop in performance and power is noticeable. Don't wait until the tool quits working to recharge the battery.

Nickel-metal-hydride (NiMH) batteries represent the latest breakthrough in batteries. They're smaller and run longer than standard nickel-cadmium (Nicad) batteries. NiMH batteries also pose less of a hazard when it comes to disposal than Nicads because they don't contain any cadmium, which is highly toxic. Makita, Bosch, Hitachi and DeWalt offer NiMH batteries, and other manufacturers will soon produce these power cells too.

Lithium-ion batteries can rupture, ignite, or explode when exposed to high temperature environments, for example in an area that is prone to prolonged direct sunlight. Short-circuiting a Li-ion battery can cause it to ignite or explode, and as such, any attempt to open or modify a Li-ion battery's casing or circuitry is hazardous. Li-ion batteries contain safety devices that protect the cells inside from abuse, and, should damaged, can cause the battery to ignite or explode.

When drilling deep or large holes, it is best to drill a small pilot hole first. This is very helpful when drilling deep holes because it's sometimes easier to keep the hole straight with a smaller bit. A larger bit will then normally follow the pilot hole. When drilling larger holes, especially in metal, the pilot hole opens an area in the metal to accommodate the tip of the larger bit so the cutting surfaces can more easily reach the uncut metal. Once you've drilled your hole, you'll probably find a burr on the back surface of your material. This can be removed by lightly drilling the back side of the hole with a larger bit. If the material is thin, such as sheet metal, instead of a burr you may find the material is actually distorted leaving a ragged hole. This be stopped by sandwiching the material between two pieces of wood before you drill the hole. As with all tools, exercise caution, wear safety equipment and learn to use the tools properly.

There will be occasions when you have to drill a hole at an angle. In these cases drill carefully. You can draw a pencil line on the material noting the angle and then try to follow that pencil guide as you drill. There are also angle guides you can use. Place these over the spot you want drilled with the guide calibrated at the correct angle. Insert the drill bit into the guide and drill away. If you are drilling completely through the material when the drill bit begins to exit out the other side of the material be careful, especially with wood. The drill bit exiting the wood can splinter the wood around the exit point. If it will show, you might want to sand it smooth. Better yet stop the splintering by covering the exit point with masking or duct tape. The tape will decrease should not stop the splintering.

Usually referred to as twist drill bits, twist bits are probably the many common drilling tools used by the handyman with either a hand or electric drill. The front edges cut the material and the spirals along the length remove the debris from the hole and tend to keep the bit straight. They can be used on timber, metal, plastics and similar materials. Most twist bits are made from either High Speed Steel (HSS) or Carbon Steel. High Speed Steel bits are suitable for drilling many types of material. When drilling metal the HSS stands up to the high temperatures. Carbon steel bits are specially ground for drilling wood and should not be used for drilling metals as they tend to be more brittle and less flexible than HSS bits.

DIY Safety tips:

Use a voltage tester to check the power to the wires or connections are off before touching them. Check your work thoroughly before restoring power to the circuit. If you are not certain, seek professional help. Remember the golden rule ... " If you don’t know – ask".
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 socket 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.

When using a power drill, chose a model that has a plastic non-conducting body. Unplug the drill before fitting parts and remove the chuck key before switching it on. Avoid wearing loose clothing or jewellery, which could get caught in the drill.

Do not work with electricity in damp or wet conditions. If you MUST, always use an RCD. Always place the cable of a hedge trimmer or mower over your shoulder and keep it behind you at all times.

Keep children and pets away from the work area. Store all tools and materials out of their reach. Many products are toxic.
