Choosing the right drill for the job
The time has come to upgrade your drill, but which type should you choose? Are you looking for a power tool that you can plug in at all times, or would you prefer a battery-powered tool that offers you freedom and agility? Are you working with wood and drywall or will you need to punch through concrete and stone?
These factors should all be taken into consideration before selecting a drill type. There are three main types of drill to choose from:
Drill drivers: These are the most common types of drills. They're typically used for drilling holes and driving screws and nails.
Hammer drills: This type of drill is used for drilling through masonry and concrete.
Impact drivers: This type of driver is used for driving large screws into hard materials, and it also helps remove them.
When you're on the hunt for the perfect drill for your project, you should take into consideration:
– The surface you need to work with
– The size of the project
– Is there a particular position or angle you may need to work at?
– Will you require a portable solution for moving around a lot?
– How much time will be required?
