Traditionally drills were manually driven but technological advancements have provided the development of drill drivers that are powered by an electric motor. For many years these electric power tools have been the most popular and well-utilized tool around home but recently there has become a increasing trend towards cordless drill drivers thanks to the development of battery technologies.

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 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.

Any tool could feel like an extension of your hand. The tool may feel great while standing in the store aisle but try to imagine what it might feel like after a few hours of use. While in the shop 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 drill bits for drilling wood, metal, ceramic, glass, and masonry. In addition to drill bits other accessories include hole saws, screwdriver bits, files, rasps, and sanders.

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.

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 hazardous. Some batteries therefore feature an internal safety circuit which might prevent charging in this state, and the battery might 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 utilized or charged immediately, some Li-ion batteries might provide more energy when brought to room temperature.

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 might 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 may 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 may 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 stopped 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.

There might be occasions when you have to drill a hole at an angle. In these cases drill carefully. You may 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 may 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 may splinter the wood around the exit point. If it might show, you might want to sand it smooth. Better yet prevent the splintering by covering the exit point with masking or duct tape. The tape might decrease if not prevent the splintering.

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 utilized in a power or hand drill. A sharp bit might also give a cleaner hole.

DIY Safety tips:

Although RCDs are a vital safety aid, they can't guarantee 100% protection. Even with them in your home, isn't it better to make a long term investment in good safety practice by looking after appliances such as hedge cutters, hedge trimmers, chainsaws, drill drivers and sanders. 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.
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.

Don't wait until disaster strikes to find your stop-cocks and gate valves. Opening and closing them four times a year might ensure they easily work when you need them to. Don't let a blown fuse leave you in the dark: keep a repair kit nearby your mains fuse box, with a torch - check the batteries regularly - screwdrivers, spare fuses, bulbs and fuse wire, rubber gloves and insulated pliers, a trimming knife and insulating tape.

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 plug 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 hazardous.

Be sure you know the correct way to use all the tools. Many have very sharp blades.
