The initial aspect you could think about when purchasing a cordless drill driver could be the battery pack as the more volts your cordless drill driver has the more torque you might get. This essentially means that the motor might spin faster creating greater power. The only drawback with this is that the more volts your drill has the heavier it might be.

There are a lot of types of drill on the market today, rotary drills, drill drivers, hammer drills, SDS drills made for drilling brick, concrete, masonry, metal and wood. You can 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 utilized mainly on building sites, 240 volt tools for home use could be utilized 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.

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 can really fine-tune the power a drill driver delivers. Settings with the lowest numbers are for small screws, higher numbers are for larger screws. Many clutches also have a drill setting, which allows the motor to drive the bit at full power.

Factors such as temperature, the material being drilled, whether the drilling is nonstop or intermittent, and the whether the battery is at full charge or not might affect a cordless drill driver's battery charge. The standard time required to charge a battery pack might vary from one hour to overnight, depending on the type of tool and charger. Recharge when the drop in performance and power is noticeable. Don't wait until the tool quits working to recharge the battery.

Lithium ion batteries are commonly utilized 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.

Unlike Ni-Cd batteries, lithium-ion batteries could be charged early and often. However, should they are not utilized for a long time, they could be brought to a charge level of around 40% - 60%. Li-ion batteries could be kept cool. Ideally they are stored in a refrigerator. Aging might take its toll much faster at high temperatures. The high temperatures found in cars cause lithium-ion batteries to degrade rapidly. Storing a Li-ion battery at the correct temperature and charge makes all the difference in maintaining its storage capacity. It is significantly beneficial to avoid storing a lithium-ion battery at full charge. A Li-ion battery stored at 40% charge might last a lot of times longer than one stored at 100% charge, particularly at higher temperatures.

Drilling a hole isn't rocket science but it can 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 can easily accomplish with a little practice.

There might 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 might 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 might decrease should not stop the splintering.

Although not a true 'drill', countersink drill bits are utilized in a power or hand drill to form the conical recess for the heads of countersunk screws. These drill bits tend to be made for use on soft materials such as timber and plastics, not metals. When utilized with a power drill to counter sink an existing hole, the bit tends to 'chatter', leaving a rough surface. Better results might be obtained should the countersink bit is utilized 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 utilized 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 utilized for drilling ceramic tiles and glass. They have a ground tungsten carbide tip. They can be utilized with a hand drill, but are best utilized in a variable speed power drill on a slow speed. When drilling glass, some form of lubricant (i.e. turpentine or white spirit) could be utilized to keep the tip cool. Ceramic tiles can also be drilled using a masonry bit should it is utilized 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:

Use a voltage tester to check the power to the wires or connections are off before touching them. Check your work thoroughly before restoring power to the circuit. If you are not certain, seek professional help. Remember the golden rule ... " If you don’t know – ask".
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.

Always keep a chemical fire extinguisher in the house. Never use water to put out a fire in an electrical appliance. Gas and electrical work is best left to a registered professional.

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.

Keep the work area tidy. An untidy work environment easily leads to accidents. Offcuts of wallpaper, for example, may be very slippery underfoot. Take care with ladders and access equipment. Make Sure that they are properly erected and stable.
