What You Should Consider When Buying Cordless Drills
Before you shop for a cordless drill, there are several questions to ask yourself first. How often will you be using it? How powerful does it need to be? What about the battery type? Do you need it to have any unique features for the projects you are working on?
Using a cordless drill that is comfortable to you is very important. The size of the drill you need depends on the nature of your work. A smaller, lighter drill is suitable if you only are going to use it for smaller jobs. Buying the largest, most powerful drill in this case is not necessary. So think about the projects you will be working and how much power you will need from the drill.
The handle should also fit well in your hand. If it's too big, it will feel awkward and will cause you to tire rather quickly. One that fits just right will be comfortable and help you use the drill more effectively.
Battery type is important to consider. Batteries and chargers will vary based on the cordless drill. The latest technology is the lithium ion battery with a high capacity. They double the performance power and the charge is 4 times as long as normal batteries. Recharging a battery could take hours depending on the charger. Having another battery on hand will allow you to continue working while the other is charging.
The chuck size of the cordless drill shouldn't be overlooked. Most come with one that 3/8 of an inch, while more powerful ones typically come with a 1/2 inch one. The larger sized chucks mean that you can use larger drill bits. The shanks of these drill bits are sometimes reduced so they are able to fit smaller chucks.
Some drills come with autoshift, which enhances the durability and performance. With this feature, drills will operate with optimal torque and speed. Whenever more power is needed, the gears automatically shift to meet this demand as opposed to manually doing it. Autoshift makes for more efficient drilling and driving. Another feature to consider for a cordless drill is an LED light built-in for working in dark areas.
A number of brands produce drills. Black & Decker is at the top in terms of popularity. Porter-Cable, Skil, Ryobi produce smaller cordless drills that are designed for everyday jobs around the house. Makita, Hitachi, DeWalt, and Bosch manufacture cordless drills that target more experienced and skilled builders and are also more expensive.
