In the world of cordless drill drivers, power is measured in battery voltage. Higher voltage means more torque-spinning strength to overcome resistance. Over the last decade, top-end voltage has increased from 9.6 to 18V, but the range of models include 6, 7.2, 9.6, 12, 14.4 and 18V. Today's higher-voltage drill drivers have enough power to bore big holes in framing lumber and flooring. That's impressive muscle. But the trade-off for power is weight. A typical 9.6V drill weighs 3 1/2 lbs, while an 18V model weighs up to 10 lbs.

There are numerous types of drill available today, rotary drills, drill drivers, hammer drills, SDS drills designed for drilling brick, concrete, masonry, metal and wood. You may select 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 may 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.

Any tool may feel like an extension of your hand. The tool may feel great while standing in the store aisle but try to imagine what it will feel like after a few hours of use. While in the shop make sure all controls are convenient, and check to see if the forward/reverse and high/low speed switches in particular are easy to use.

The chuck is the attachment where the bit is inserted, having jaws that grip the bit. Drills come in 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2" sizes. This measurement is the chuck size and indicates the shaft diameter of the drill bits and accessories that will fit the drill. Chucks can be keyed (the jaws are tightened or loosened with a key) or keyless (the chuck may be tightened or loosened by hand). Keyless chucks offer two major benefits. If you have ever misplaced or lost a chuck key, you already know one of them. A keyless chuck will also allow drill bits to be changed more quickly. A real plus when you need to change from a drill bit to a screwdriver bit repeatedly or should you happen to be wearing gloves on the job. You can change the chuck in some keyless models with only one hand because the shaft locks when the trigger is off. In many models, however, you have to use both hands to turn the chuck in opposite directions. While you're in the shop change the bit on different drill drivers to see what style of keyless chuck you prefer.

All cordless drill drivers come with a battery charger, with recharge times ranging from 15 minutes to three hours. But faster isn't necessarily better. A contractor might depend on fast recharges, but slower recharging isn't usually a concern at home, especially should you have two batteries. What's more, there are drawbacks to fast charging. A speedy recharge may damage a battery by generating excessive heat, unless it's a specially designed unit. If you want a speedy recharge, go with a tool from Makita, Hitachi or Panasonic, whose "smart" chargers are equipped with temperature sensors and feedback circuitry that protect batteries. These units provide a charge in as little as nine minutes without battery damage.

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.

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 may 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 may 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 prevented 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 may 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 may 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 may splinter the wood around the exit point. If it will 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 will decrease should not prevent the splintering.

Twist drill bits are available coated with Titanium nitride (TiN). These are easily identified by the gold like colour. This coating increases the hardness of the bit and adds a self-lubricating property. The coating is only really effective when metal is being drilled, it has little effect when working with other materials. Twist drill bits are usually available in sizes 0.8-12 mm plus. They are designed for drilling relatively small holes and they sometimes tend to clog quickly especially when the wood is 'green'. When drilling deep holes (especially in hardwood) the drill bits may be withdrawn regularly to remove the waste. Special care is required when using the smallest sizes since these drill bits are thin and brittle. Always hold the drill square to the work and apply only light pressure when drilling. To sharpen use a drill sharpener, a grindstone jig or an oilstone. Titanium nitride drill bits cannot be sharpened without destroying the coating (although should the drill needs sharpening, the coating will probably have already been destroyed). Forming the correct angle at the tip is important for efficient cutting.

DIY Safety tips:

If a fuse blows for no obvious reason or an appliance is not working properly, turn off the appliance at the plug and unplug it before trying to find out why. If the fault can't be found or you are uncertain how to find the fault, get expert help. The same principles apply to fuse boxes or circuit breakers - always turn off at the mains before you investigate and remember to replace the cover before switching back on.
When painting, or using any material that generates toxic fumes or dust, keep the room well ventilated. Never smoke while painting or standing close to a freshly painted area.

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 help.

Never overload a plug with too numerous 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. Ensure plugs are correctly fused. Fuses protect cables and flexes from the effects of overheating caused by short circuits and overload.

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