The first aspect you may examine when selecting a cordless drill driver may be the battery pack as the more volts your cordless drill driver has the more torque you may get. This essentially means that the motor may spin faster creating greater power. The only drawback with this is that the more volts your drill has the heavier it may be.

Electric rotary drill drivers are manufactured mainly for drilling metal and wood. This type of drill is normally small and compact. Motor sizes range from around 500 watts. The lower wattage motors are ok for drilling small holes or minimal use, the more powerful motored machines may cope with larger size holes and more frequent use. The chuck size is another thing to check, the smaller drill drivers have a chuck which may only accept drill bits up to 10mm diameter the larger chuck size is 13mm.

The least expensive drill drivers run at a single speed, but many have two fixed speeds: 300 rpm and 800 rpm. A slide switch or trigger lets you select high or low speed. These drill drivers are ideal for many light-duty operations. The low speed is for driving screws, the high speed for drilling holes. For more refined carpentry and repair tasks, chose a drill that has the same two-speed switch and a trigger with variable speed control that lets you vary the speed from 0 rpm to the top of each range. And if you do more hole drilling than screwdriving, look for more speed, 1000 rpm or higher at the top end.

Accessories for drill drivers include drill bits for drilling wood, metal, ceramic, glass, and masonry. In addition to drill bits other accessories include hole saws, screwdriver bits, files, rasps, and sanders.

Depending on the choice of material for the anode, cathode, and electrolyte the voltage, capacity, life, and safety of a lithium ion battery can change dramatically. Lithium ion batteries are not to be confused with lithium batteries, the key difference being that lithium batteries are primary batteries containing metallic lithium while lithium-ion batteries are secondary batteries containing an intercalation anode material. Lithium-ion batteries can be formed into a wide variety of shapes and sizes so as to efficiently fill available space in the devices they power. Li-ion batteries are lighter than other equivalent secondary batteries, often much lighter.

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.

For many applications around the house a small set of common twist drill bits may normally serve your needs. You'll also need a drill to turn the drill bits and some tools to measure and mark where you want the hole. This includes a ruler or tape measure, a pencil or scribe and if working with metal, a centre punch and a hammer. The first and most important step is marking where you want the hole. You can also use a scribe on wood or plastic. Sometimes even a pencil may work well. As long as you can see your marks and they don't rub off when working your material it doesn't normally matter. Without a punch mark, the bit would drift around. If it did eventually catch, it would quite likely be in the incorrect location.

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 stop the splintering by covering the exit point with masking or duct tape. The tape may decrease if not stop the splintering.

Although not a true 'drill', countersink drill bits are used in a power or hand drill to form the conical recess for the heads of countersunk screws. These drill bits tend to be manufactured for use on soft materials such as timber and plastics, not metals. When used with a power drill to counter sink an existing hole, the bit tends to 'chatter', leaving a rough surface. Better results may be obtained if the countersink bit is used 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 used 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 undertaken with a fine triangular file. Tile drill bits are those drill bits used for drilling ceramic tiles and glass. They have a ground tungsten carbide tip. They can be used with a hand drill, but are best used in a variable speed power drill on a slow speed. When drilling glass, some form of lubricant (i.e. turpentine or white spirit) may be used to keep the tip cool. Ceramic tiles can also be drilled using a masonry bit if it is used 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.
Wear protective clothing including safety goggles, gloves and dust mask when working with potentially hazardous materials such as glass or spray paint. It is also advisable to wear a mask when working in a dusty environment e.g. sawing wood or MDF.

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.

Take extra care with old paint. Some old paint could give off harmful dust and pose a poisoning hazard if ingested by small children. You must not burn off old paint or rub it down with dry sandpaper or a power sander; you may clean up properly, using a high efficiency industrial vacuum cleaner with heavy duty filters. Have a basic First Aid kit accessible.

Be sure to double check the safety and condition of any working platform. Make sure that it can not move or give way. Never use ladders on top of working platforms.
