A further vital thing to think about is the amount of voltage a cordless drill driver has as the higher the voltage the more speed and torque the drill might have. The speed and torque of a cordless drill driver might help to determine how easy and speedy the drill is to use. Over the years the amount of voltage that these power tools 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 might be thus affecting how heavy the drill might be.

There are a lot of types of drill available today, rotary drills, drill drivers, hammer drills, SDS drills made for drilling brick, concrete, masonry, metal and wood. You might chose 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 used mainly on building sites, 240 volt tools for home use may be used 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 might 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.

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 might affect a cordless drill driver's battery charge. The standard time required to charge a battery pack might 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.

Lithium-ion batteries (sometimes abbreviated Li-ion batteries) are a type of rechargeable battery in which a lithium ion moves between the anode and cathode. The lithium ion moves from the anode to the cathode during discharge and from the cathode to the anode when charging.

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 might 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 might 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 might 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 might be occasions when you have to drill a hole at an angle. In these cases drill carefully. You might 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 might 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 might splinter the wood around the exit point. If it might 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 might decrease if not stop the splintering.

Used for cutting large, fixed, diameter holes in wood or plastic a hole saw might 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 may be done with a fine triangular file - as for an ordinary saw. Like the Hole Saw above, combination saws might 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 may be done with a fine triangular file and 'setter' as for an ordinary saw. Forstner 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 may be done 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 may only be used in a hand brace. The bit might 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:

If a fuse blows for no obvious reason or an appliance is not working properly, switch off the appliance at the socket 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 switch off at the mains before you investigate and remember to replace the cover before switching back on.
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 if the power is switched on accidentally the line might 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 if 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.

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, switch 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 switch 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.

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