How to choose an electric drill

The electric drill became known to the general public quite recently, but even now it is impossible to imagine most of the repair work without its use. In everyday life, it is also needed quite often. You can quickly fix something in repair, for example, strengthen a board or strengthen a nail into a wall, using a drill. In general, there are a lot of advantages, the main thing is to choose the right one.

The first thing you need to pay attention to when choosing a drill is its manufacturer. Do not buy an electric drill of an unknown manufacturer. Large companies not only guarantee the excellent quality of their products and provide guarantees, but also provide their customers with free after-sales service.

In the world of construction tools, counterfeiting is not so rare. In order not to buy a non-original drill, contact only large stores. If you think that you don’t need a new drill and a used one will do, ask the seller for a tool box, or even better, a warranty card or a receipt from the store. This is the only way you can understand whether they are really trying to sell you a quality product.

The motor power of an electric drill depends on the area of ​​​​its application. If you need it to repair an apartment, a power of 500 W is suitable. Usually drills with high power are used in construction, they are very bulky and inconvenient for a beginner to use.

The most versatile are drills not only with a rotational function, but also capable of drilling with impacts. That is, the drill alternates circular movements with translational movements, thanks to which it is very easy to drill concrete and other strong surfaces.

Drills without speed control should be avoided, they have long outlived their usefulness. Each type of work needs its own rotation speed, for drilling a hole – a large one, for screwing a screw – slow.

Ask the seller about the power button of the drill you like. There are drills, when using which you need to constantly keep your finger on. There are drills with a switch, after pressing which once the tool will work until the switch is returned to its original position. The best option is when both include methods are present.

The next item, pay attention to the weight of the drill and how comfortable it is for you to hold it in your hands. Choose a drill based on how many types of tips you may need, for home use, it is not necessary to take an expensive drill with a ton of functions and interchangeable nozzles.

And finally, although this is not the most important parameter, carefully consider the choice of the box in which the purchased drill is stored. It should be as compact as possible, but roomy. It is advisable to take a closer look at the boxes with additional sections where you can store screws, nails and other small things. Cubic boxes are more convenient in shape, they are stable and, if desired, another box can be placed on them, which once again saves space.
