The very first thing you may look at 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.

A Hammer Drill is not only able to provide a rotary motion but may 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 may typically have the ability to switch the hammer action off and on as required. You may 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 may 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 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 may 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.

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

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.

Lithium-ion batteries can rupture, ignite, or explode when exposed to high temperature environments, for example in an area that is prone to prolonged direct sunlight. Short-circuiting a Li-ion battery can cause it to ignite or explode, and as such, any attempt to open or modify a Li-ion battery's casing or circuitry is hazardous. Li-ion batteries contain safety tools that protect the cells inside from abuse, and, should damaged, can cause the battery to ignite or explode.

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 may 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 can 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 can 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 prevented 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.

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 near 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 made for metal should you are drilling through metal and select a bit made for wood when drilling through wood. Using the incorrect bit may 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 pressure the drill bit through the hole. Try to keep the drill as perpendicular to the material as possible.

Also known as a wood or dowel bit, a spur point bit has a central point and two raised spurs that help keep the bit drilling straight. The bit cuts timber very fast when utilized in a power drill and leaves a clean sided hole. They are ideal for drilling holes for dowels as the sides of the holes are clean and parallel. Sizes range from 3 to 10mm. Spur point bits may only be utilized for drilling wood or some plastics. Sharpen the point and spurs with a fine file or edge of a fine grindstone; the angle between the point and spurs may be 90°.

DIY Safety tips:

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 advice. Check older appliances such as electric blankets and Christmas tree lights.
Always use the correct tools for the job. It is worth investing in high quality equipment as this may be safer and may probably do the job quicker.

Ladders are one of the main causes of DIY accidents. Erect the ladder according to the manufacturer's instructions. Never lean to one side as you could lose balance. Don't rush as you're more likely to have an accident. Carefully plan the job before you start work. Know your limitations and consult a professional should you are unsure. It's also a good idea to ask someone should they can help you.

Do not work with electricity in damp or wet conditions. If you MUST, always use an RCD. Always place the cable of a hedge trimmer or mower over your shoulder and keep it behind you at all times.

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.
