Your DIY Safety First

The number of cordless drill drivers is now massive, and all mains powered drills have their cordless battery equivalents. 9.6 volt to 14.4 volt drill/drivers may be used as a rotary drill or screwdriver. 12 volt to 18 volt cordless drill drivers can also have a hammer action. 12 and 14.4 volt machines are ok on hammer action for brick but would struggle drilling concrete and other hard masonry, should you need the drill to undertake this type of work then you should look at the 18 volt models that are available. Then there are the 18 volt to 36 volt SDS type of drills. These are designed for masonry work, and with a chuck adaptor these may be turned into rotary drill drivers. Also with the SDS type of cordless drill you may get some of them with roto stop which then turns them into a demolition hammer drill.

A Hammer Drill is not only able to provide a rotary motion but might 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.

Any tool should 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 store 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.

Cordless drill drivers are measured in volts. Drills are available in everything from around 2 volts (for a cordless screwdriver) to the newest 24-volt tools. Higher voltage means heavier weight so think about buying a tool that will meet 80-90% of your needs. Twelve to 14.4 volt models are the most popular, and they will usually meet most homeowner's work needs. Corded drills are measured in amps. Generally, a higher amperage motor means more power.

Lithium ion batteries are commonly used 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 rotate. 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 rotate. 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.

A drill without a drill bit is useless. A drill bit is the piece at the end of the drill that does the actual drilling. Drill bits come in a wide variety of sizes (diameter) and length. First you have to insert the bit into the drill. The end of the drill’s barrel has an opening. Insert the dull end of the drill bit into this hole. Now you have to tighten the drill bit into this hole so the bit is secure and does not come free. This is accomplished in one of two ways. The most traditional way is to use a chuck key. The chuck key is a small piece of petal shaped in a right angle. One piece of the key fits into the tightening collar around the bit. There is a hole there for that purpose. Then you simply turn the key clockwise tightening the collar over the bit. Turn it clockwise to tighten. Turn it counter-clockwise to loosen the collar and free the bit. When you do this make certain the drill is unplugged from its power source. This is a safety precaution. The second way does not include a chuck key. Instead there are usually two tightening collars. The bit is inserted in the outer most collar. Grasp this collar with one hand holding it steady. With a small bit of power provided by squeezing the trigger the loose collar spins freely and tightens the bit into the collar. If you want to tighten the bit the collar must spin clockwise. If you want to loosen the bit the collar must turn counter-clockwise. The direction of the collar’s spin is determined by moving a switch on the drill usually located nearby the trigger. Now your drill is ready to go. You now have the correct bit size and it is securely settled into the drill. You are ready to drill. First make certain the bit is the suitable material for the material you are drilling. Select a bit designed for metal should you are drilling through metal and select a bit designed for wood when drilling through wood. Using the incorrect bit will damage the bit and perhaps not accomplish the task. Using a wood bit on metal often does not penetrate the metal. When you have marked on the material to be drilled where you want the hole mark it with a pencil or marker with a dot or ‘x’. Place the drill bit exactly on the mark, squeeze the drill trigger and give just the slightest push to the drill. Let the drill do the work. Be patient and don’t strain the drill bit through the hole. Try to keep the drill as perpendicular to the material as possible.

Used for cutting large, fixed, diameter holes in wood or plastic a hole saw will usually cut up to a depth of 18mm though deeper versions are available. Best used in a power drill at low speed as the blade saws its way through the material. Sharpening should be undertaken with a fine triangular file - as for an ordinary saw. Like the Hole Saw above, combination saws may cut large holes but they consist of a number of different sized round saw blades, usually ranging from about 25 to 62mm in diameter. Normally the blade are secures by a radial screw in the 'head' with all blades other than the desired sized being removed before the screw is inserted to secure the required diameter blade. Best used in a power drill at low speed as the blade saws it's way through the material. Sharpening should be undertaken with a fine triangular file and 'setter' as for an ordinary saw. Forstner drill bits are used to form holes with a flat bottom, such as for kitchen cupboard hinges. Best used in a power drill held in a drill stand as there's little in the way of a central point. If used freehand, the positioning is difficult to control as there is no central pilot bit. Sharpening of the bit should be undertaken on an oilstone or with a fine file. A Wood Auger bit is ideal when drilling large-diameter, deep holes in wood or thick man-made boards. Generally an Auger bit should only be used in a hand brace. The bit will cut a clean and deep, flat bottomed holes. The single spur cuts and defines the edge of the hole while the chisel-like cutting edge removes the waste within the previously cut circle. The threaded centre bites into the wood and pulls the bit into the timber. This 'pulling' action means that the bit is really unsuitable for use in a power drill.

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".
Always use the correct tools for the job. It is worth investing in high quality equipment as this will be safer and will probably do the job quicker.

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.

New appliances have to be supplied with a plug that is fused in accordance with manufacturers' instructions. Always follow manufacturers' recommendations for fuses, or seek expert help. Check older appliances such as electric blankets and Christmas tree lights. If a fuse blows for no obvious reason or an appliance is not working properly, turn off the appliance at the socket and unplug it before trying to find out why. 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. 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 hazardous.

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. Ensure that they are properly erected and stable.
