The range of cordless drill drivers is now huge, 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 do this type of work then you might 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.

There are many 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 used mainly on building sites, 240 volt tools for home use might 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.

The least expensive drill drivers run at a single speed, but most 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 most light-duty operations. The low speed is for driving screws, the high speed for drilling holes. For more refined carpentry and repair tasks, select 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 should you do more hole drilling than screwdriving, look for more speed, 1000 rpm or higher at the top end.

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 may be used 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 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.

If a Li-ion battery is stored with too low a charge, there is a risk of allowing the charge to drop below the battery's low-voltage threshold, resulting in an unrecoverable dead battery. Once the charge has dropped to this level, recharging it may be dangerous. Some batteries therefore feature an internal safety circuit which will stop charging in this state, and the battery will be for all practical purposes dead. In circumstances where a second Li-ion battery is available for a given device, it is recommended that the unused battery be discharged to 40% and placed in the refrigerator to prolong its shelf life. While the battery may be used or charged immediately, some Li-ion batteries will provide more energy when brought to room temperature.

For most applications around the house a small set of common twist drill bits will 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 should working with metal, a centre punch and a hammer. The first and most important step is marking where you want the hole. You may also use a scribe on wood or plastic. Sometimes even a pencil will work well. As long as you may 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 wrong location.

Not all holes need to go all the way through the material. Some holes need only be a certain depth in the wood. The easiest way to make certain you drill the correct depth is to measure the necessary hole depth on your drill bit. Then mark that point on the bit with a marker or wrap some tape around the bit at the measured spot. Then when you drill only insert the drill bit to the mark or tape. You may also purchase bit collars that slide over the bit and are secured at the appropriate depth. The collars usually attach with a small hex wrench or screwdriver. The drilling is undertaken and you have to get the bit out. Give the drill a little power to spin the bit and slowly pull it out of the hole. Don’t be too quick or pull it out without spinning the bit. Either of these may cause the bit to bind in the hole. The hole is complete and now you need to attach the fastener. Bits can be inserted into the drill turning the drill into a screwdriver or wrench. If you are attaching screws determine the size of the screw head and select a matching screwdriver bit. Connect the screwdriver bit to the drill in the same way you would other drill bits. Put the bit head in the screw head and squeeze the trigger. Be careful not to provide so much power that you go all the way through the material (should that’s not called for) or pressure the screw head too far down into the material. It’s easy to get carried away with the power of the drill. If you are attaching a bolt fastener you may also purchase bolt sockets that may be attached to the drill. Match the bit size with the bolt, attach the bit to the drill, and screw in the bolt.

Learning how to sharpen drill bits is cost effective, it better to keep a bit sharp by occasional sharpening rather than waiting until it becomes really blunt. A sharp bit cuts better with less effort whether used in a power or hand drill. A sharp bit will also give a cleaner hole.

DIY Safety tips:

Keep water away from anything electric. Don't even wash walls without turning off the power at the mains switch. Never be tempted to use a socket, plug or equipment which could still have water in or on it - allowing it to dry could mean the difference between life and death. Read manufacturer's instructions on extension cables - they could overheat should left coiled. Check an extension is appropriate for the appliance it is connected to.
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.

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 dangerous.

If you have any doubts whatsoever about how to safely use any material, or equipment, ask the manufacturer or supplier.
