BEGINNER'S GUIDE TO USING A DRILL - STEP-BY-STEP

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

How to use a drill - a beginner's guide.
Using a drill is easier than you think once you know a few basics.
In this video I cover choosing a drill (plug-in or cordless), what you can use a drill for, the parts of the drill and the settings of a drill, choosing and fitting drill bits, how to use a drill safely for the first time, tips for using the drill for drilling holes and for screwing and unscrewing screws.
It's a good idea to look at drills in person to find the best drill for you but below are a few ideas I found on amazon - any amazon links that appear in my channel's video descriptions are affiliate links which means I earn a tiny commission if you use the link. This does not affect the price you pay, and I only ever include links for products I would also buy.

    Girl! I would like to THANK YOU for teaching me how to use a drill! I so appreciated all the facets of your instruction, because even though my drill is nothing like yours, you covered so much that I understood how to use mine and no longer fear it. I had searched (and watched) other videos, and NO ONE was as easy to understand or as thorough as you were. I watched your vid, went outside and drilled away like it was nobody's business. Thank you again!!

    Id seen my dad use one growing up with no clue how to use one except to pull the trigger. Knew nothing about needing different sizes of bits, what a bit was and that you use different ones for different tasks. Now im at least confident enough to try it by drilling a drainage hole in a flower pot. Baby steps lol. Thank you so much for this video!!

I'm tired of asking my son to do stuff (so is he!) so this was brilliant. The only thing is I bought a Black and Decker Reviva for simplicity but can't work out how to get the bits in and out 🤷‍♀. I'll read the very limited directions again but I'm so grateful for your clear concise video.
