For cordless drill drivers, power is measured in battery voltage. Higher voltage means more torque-spinning strength to beat resistance. Over the last decade, top-end voltage has increased from 9.6 to 18V, but the range of models include 6, 7.2, 9.6, 12, 14.4 and 18V. Today's higher-voltage drill drivers have enough power to bore big holes in framing lumber and flooring. That's impressive muscle. But the trade-off for power is weight. A typical 9.6V drill weighs 3 1/2 lbs, while an 18V model weighs up to 10 lbs.

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.

An adjustable clutch is what separates electric from cordless drill drivers. Located just behind the chuck, the clutch disengages the drive shaft of the drill, making a clicking sound, when a preset level of resistance is reached. The result is that the motor is still turning, but the screwdriver bit isn't. A clutch provides you control so you don't strip a screw or overdrive it once it's tight. It also helps protect the motor when a lot of resistance is met in driving a screw or tightening a bolt. The number of separate clutch settings varies on the drill; better drill drivers have at least 24 settings. With that a lot of clutch settings, you may really fine-tune the power a drill driver delivers. Settings with the lowest numbers are for small screws, higher numbers are for larger screws. Most clutches also have a drill setting, which allows the motor to drive the bit at full power.

A reversible drill is a must should you plan on using the drill with screwdriver bits. Torque is the term used to describe the rotational force exerted by the drill. Today's higher voltage cordless drill drivers may provide nearly the same amount of torque as a corded model. Yes, bigger is better, but increased power almost always brings increased size and weight. Unless you plan on drilling with large self-feeding or auger bits, think about a more compact model with a lower torque. Because there is no industry standard for measuring torque, be aware that you cannot compare the torque ratings of drill drivers from one brand to another.

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 may 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 may 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 appliances that protect the cells inside from abuse, and, should damaged, may cause the battery to ignite or explode.

Drilling a hole isn't rocket science but it may be quite frustrating should you don't know how to do it. For example, should you try to use a wood auger bit to drill a hole in metal you'll ruin the bit, score the metal and possibly injure yourself in the process. Drilling a hole correctly, however, is something you may easily accomplish with a little practice.

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 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 force 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.

Usually referred to as twist drill bits, twist bits are probably the many common drilling tools used by the handyman with either a hand or electric drill. The front edges cut the material and the spirals along the length remove the debris from the hole and tend to keep the bit straight. They may be used on timber, metal, plastics and similar materials. Most twist bits are made from either High Speed Steel (HSS) or Carbon Steel. High Speed Steel bits are suitable for drilling many types of material. When drilling metal the HSS stands up to the high temperatures. Carbon steel bits are specially ground for drilling wood and could not be used for drilling metals as they tend to be more brittle and less flexible than HSS bits.

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.
When painting, or using any material that generates toxic fumes or dust, keep the room well ventilated. Never smoke while painting or standing close to a freshly painted area.

When using a power drill, pick 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 should ingested by small children. You must not burn off old paint or rub it down with dry sandpaper or a power sander; you could clean up properly, using a high efficiency industrial vacuum cleaner with heavy duty filters. Have a basic First Aid kit accessible.

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