Cordless drill drivers are much less hazardous than corded or electric power tools as there is no lead for you to trip or fall over. Cordless power tools are much more accessible than corded tools as they allow you go anywhere and work in places that would ordinarily be inaccessible due to there being no power socket. Cordless drill drivers are becoming increasingly small and compact in design and are extremely easy to move around and transport. However, the size and weight of a cordless drill driver may vary depending on the battery type. Technological developments have allowed power tool manufacturers to produce cordless drill drivers that have the same voltage and power capacity as electric corded drill drivers.

There are a lot of types of drill available today, rotary drills, drill drivers, hammer drills, SDS drills designed for drilling brick, concrete, masonry, metal and wood. You can pick cordless or electric, when choosing an electric drill there are two voltages, 110 and 240. 110 volt power tools need a power tool transformer and are utilized mainly on building sites, 240 volt tools for home use might be utilized with a RCD circuit breaker for safety. Cordless drill drivers give more flexibility due to the fact that you do not have a mains lead to contend with.

An adjustable clutch is what separates electric from cordless drill drivers. Located just behind the chuck, the clutch disengages the drive shaft of the drill, making a clicking sound, when a preset level of resistance is reached. The result is that the motor is still turning, but the screwdriver bit isn't. A clutch provides you control so you don't strip a screw or overdrive it once it's snug. It also helps protect the motor when a lot of resistance is met in driving a screw or tightening a bolt. The number of separate clutch settings varies on the drill; better drill drivers have at least 24 settings. With that a lot of clutch settings, you can really fine-tune the power a drill driver delivers. Settings with the lowest numbers are for small screws, higher numbers are for larger screws. Many clutches also have a drill setting, which allows the motor to drive the bit at full power.

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 can be utilized 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.

Lithium ion batteries are commonly utilized in consumer electronics and tools such as drill drivers. They are currently one of the most popular types of battery for portable electronics, with one of the best energy-to-weight ratios, no memory effect, and a slow loss of charge when not in use. In addition to uses for consumer electronics, lithium-ion batteries are growing in popularity for defence, automotive, and aerospace applications due to their high energy density. However certain kinds of mistreatment may cause Li-ion batteries to explode.

Check out drill drivers in DIY centres noting their weight and balance. Try out vertical and horizontal drilling positions to see how comfortable you feel. Contoured grips and rubber cushioning on some models make them very comfortable, even when you're applying direct palm pressure. While you're at it, see how easy it is to change clutch settings and operate the keyless chuck.

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.

There may 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 may show, you might want to sand it smooth. Better yet prevent the splintering by covering the exit point with masking or duct tape. The tape may decrease should not prevent the splintering.

Although not a true 'drill', countersink drill bits are utilized in a power or hand drill to form the conical recess for the heads of countersunk screws. These drill bits tend to be designed for use on soft materials such as timber and plastics, not metals. When utilized with a power drill to counter sink an existing hole, the bit tends to 'chatter', leaving a rough surface. Better results may be obtained should the countersink bit is utilized before the hole is drilled, then take care to ensure that the hole is in the centre of the countersunk depression. Countersinks are available with fitted handles so that they can be utilized by hand twisting, often easier than changing the bit in the drill when only a relatively few holes need countersinking. Sharpening can be difficult, but can be done with a fine triangular file. Tile drill bits are those drill bits utilized for drilling ceramic tiles and glass. They have a ground tungsten carbide tip. They can be utilized with a hand drill, but are best utilized in a variable speed power drill on a slow speed. When drilling glass, some form of lubricant (i.e. turpentine or white spirit) might be utilized to keep the tip cool. Ceramic tiles can also be drilled using a masonry bit should it is utilized at slow speed and without hammer action. Sharpening is difficult because of the hard tungsten carbide and curved cutting edge. With care and patience, a blunt edge can be made good using an oilstone. Intended for power drill use only, the centre point locates the bit and the flat steel on either side cuts away the timber.

DIY Safety tips:

If you need to change a mains fuse, check the correct rating for that circuit - the blown fuse might have been incorrect in the first place. Using a thicker fuse wire than the correct rating is dangerous. Switch off the power and remove the fuse for the relevant circuit before carrying out any work, or inspecting, either it, or the appliances connected to it. Never inspect, or carry out work on, any part of the system with the power on. Make sure that power cannot be inadvertently restored by someone else.
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 may 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.

Never overload a socket with too a lot of plugs or adaptors. Do not allow cables and flexes to become kinked or frayed. Make sure plugs are undamaged and tightly closed with no loose connections and that cord grips are tightened. Make Sure plugs are correctly fused. Fuses protect cables and flexes from the effects of overheating caused by short circuits and overload.

Keep the work area tidy. An untidy work environment easily leads to accidents. Offcuts of wallpaper, for example, may be very slippery underfoot. Take care with ladders and access equipment. Make Sure that they are properly erected and stable.
