An essential cordless drills

Everybody should have a cordless drill at home; a good drill is essential! Moreover with a cordless drill you will be able to drill holes and drive screws without caring about finding an outlet near the work to power the drill.

On the market are available hundreds of these drills but is not clear which one you should be considering. The market offers drills in  various sizes and with a number of different features.  Here for you some good information in order to help you in the choice.

Lets start speaking about Power: is the battery voltage that measure the power of a cordless drill. Cordless drills are available in voltages from 9.6 volts up to 24 volts. Remember that a 24v drills will be, for sure, heavier than a 12v cordless drill and always heavier than a corded drill.  An higher voltage means more torque spinning strength in order to overcome resistance.  Normally cordless drills are sell with a battery charger and the recharge times go from 15 minutes to 3 hours. Regarding the speed of the drill we can say that the least expensive runs at a single speed but most have two fixed speeds.  We can say that the low speed is indicated for driving screws, while the high speed for drilling holes.

When you buy your cordless drill you should also check that it has a number  of basic features that I consider mandatory features: a reversible motor, a dual speed motor, an adjustable clutch.

 Before buying a cordless drill you should check the weight and balance of it. Go in home centers and check out the drill you have chosen: try it in vertical and horizontal positions in order to see how comfortable you feel. If the drill you have chosen is to heavy and you are not able to use it over your head for at least 30 seconds at a time, you should consider a drill with a lower battery voltage. It is easy to buy more tool that you really need so you have to think carefully about how you will use your drill: I has no sense to buy an expensive drill that you will use just to hang pictures!
