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.

This video is so helpful to me. Lost my husband earlier this year, and I'm slowly learning how to do some of the things he always took care of for me. Thank you for teaching me how to use his cordless drill!

So sorry you lost your companion. Hats off to you for rolling up your sleeves & learning to 'do' for yourself. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. A tiny tip is 'preparation' take time to get it right. As you're watching videos like this with great advice I know you're on the right track.

May god bless you beautiful soul.
That’s the best drill demonstration I’ve seen on KZread. Clear, concise and to the point. And no shouting or loud music! Great to see a woman doing it too. Subscribed.
you are a lifesaver! never used a drill in my life and trying to learn how to be more independent. i was so scared of it. i swear i went through ten videos to finally find a step by step guide for a TRUE novice! thank you so much!
❤ You’re the only one that actually gave detailed instructions for a complete beginner and I sincerely did appreciate it and I will keep up with your site. Thank you very much and have a good day.
Thank you so much for this informative video. I am a retired 61 year-old female, and I live alone in a senior living facility, and I do not have anyone to help me to use the drill. Thank you very much for your very clear explanation of how the drill works, and the tools can be used. Im a new subscriber!😊
It's a fantastic video for a complete novice. Never used or even looked at a drill before in my life. Husband died last year, shed full of equipment, and I wanted to take a shelf down. After watching video ( couple of times) I had the courage to have a go. Success! Thank You so much.

Ah thank you! Glad it helped you
Thank you. Your explanations are so clear! This was so helpful to me, as I have just moved to a new house on my own and have bought a power tool, to put up some shelves, and have never done it before, so thank you!
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!!

Love this - happy drilling 🤩
Thank you so very much for this tutorial. Very well explained. Now I am about to install my floating shelves in the bathroom. I’m so excited!😊
Thank you so much for this easy to follow video.At 67 and totally on my own,I am ready to try my drill I bought years ago.I ordered a box of drills and won’t start until I practice on wood,and watch your video again. I feel ready to go it alone with pictures,and my cooker visor hood. Thank you Angela
Excellent video for a beginner! Detailed and very helpful. Now I finally know how to use a drill!
Thanks Georgina - really clear and helpful advice! Just put up my first shelves in the kids' room and I feel like a drill wizard now. 🥳
My dad did everything for me snd this video really helped me out. Very informative and to the point! 👍🏽👍🏽

Same. Now on my own and only a tiny clue of how to use one.
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!!
Great little video. Divorced female. Able to throw my hand at various DIY tasks now but always avoided drills. With this video. Feel confident to have a go and stop being so scared. THANK YOU 😊
Thankyou so much for this video. I've never used a drill before and I was never taught how. This covers all the basics for a beginner like me. Much appreciated 🙏 😊
I love the dust pan trick. I always taped an envelope to the wall to catch the dust, but this is better.
Thank you this was so helpful , I just bought my first drill and I want to Surprise my fiancé my fixing the front grill on my car!
My incredibly handy partner passed away a few months ago and now I'm learning how to do this all myself. Thank you for being a great resource.

So sorry for your loss
Hi Georgina, Just to say a big thank you for your tips on using a drill. I had a lot more confidence a decade or so, but was a bit nervous about doing this sort of thing on my own. Your advice was clear, concise and not 'dumbed down' but included everything I needed to encourage me to have a go. You have just got yourself a new subscriber!
This has been much more helpful for me than the instructions which came with my Dewalt cordless. I understand same things apply universally on these similar drills but because mine is a DeWalt I found it very helpful. Thank you!!!
I needed a drill and my dad had a spare and gave it to me but I have never used one before. This guide is so clear and helpful, I now know I can get started, thank you so much!
So helpful. I just moved to a new apartment on my own and had to do everything by myself and trying to set up this table.
Thank you so much! I bought a drill to install new curtains, and I was lost with that thing! You solved the enigmas in the first half of your video. I did an excellent job, by the way, as an absolute beginner! Thanks again❤
Thank you for this ❤ like many others here my husband left me and i have been useless on my own since he never showed me how to do anything. And my dad got me a tool box but didn’t show me how to use anything. Thank you!
Really great explanations. I just put up my security camera and solar panel. Thanks!
Thank you so much. I'm a 66 woman, had/have a dad/husband/sons who can do this stuff in their sleep but are rubbish at explaining it. 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.

@@user-nm2qm2pu9z ah I’m so glad. I just had a search and it seems to be a common question with the b&d drills - sounds like the chuck can be quite stiff to turn! Glad you sorted it and that the video was helpful 😊
My girlfriend and I are trying to build a garden box without help from any of our guy friends ... this video is so thorough and helpful. Thank you!!

Love this 🥰 Good luck!
Seriously super good and helpful. I bought a drill a week ago and for the week I didn’t know how to turn it on. It had the safety lock in place omg.
Thank you for this video. Was so clear and concise and it gave me the confidence to purchase a drill and do the DIY I had been putting off for ages. Including drilling through tile in my bathroom. Super helpful!
Thank you so much for this video. I am a guy and I have never used a drill before. Hope to see more videos of yours on how to use a drill on different jobs. Thank you again.

Hi Georgina, excellent clear instructions. Thank you SO much.
Thank u so much for this awesome video , as a first time homes owner I needed to know this for the basic DIy,.
fantastic video. thank u
Wow learnt everything I need to get started after purchasing my first drill!
Neatly explained!
Very informative thank you
Wow. Found it very useful. Really want to be able to do my DIY at the house.
Thank you so much as I am currently widowed I must learn to do all these things . Thank you thank you thank you
My tip is to get an envelope and fold flap over, then bit of tape to hold it in place under where you're drilling. Frees up both hands and no mess 👍
You have fulfilled everything I wanted to know about a cordless drill. Thank you. Best video.
GREAT WORK
This video was very helpful. There are some things I want do do around my home. I believe knowing how to handle a few tools will help me to get them done. Thank you for sharing.
Good video. A drill can also be used to stir paint and mix small quantities of materials like plaster, with an appropriate whisk/paddle. Btw, my mate works for the council.

Great point!
I’m putting my headboard on the wall tomorrow into masonry! My first drill is arriving tomorrow too and this video helped a lot!
This video is exactly what I needed very well explained. It's gone far to expensive to hire someone to do these jobs so I need to learn to do them for myself. Well done
Very good information!
beautifully explained ( in more ways than one )
You're the best!! Oh my you can't imagine how much you're helping me as I just got a new drill!! Thank you so much, so helpful, too kinda new at this!!! I love your accent, and so easy to follow your video!😊😅😅
After I watched your video I unboxed my new drill and installed 2 window shades. 🎉total time was 3 hours. I was armed with your video to give me guidance. Now I have adequate privacy in my bedroom. Thank you!!!! 🎉
Great video thanks.
Great tutorial! Keep it up! :)
Thank you so much.
Thank You so much 🙏🏾
Very informative
Hello Great Video! Thanks
Amazing! Even on a normal one (no battery and no speed options) it worked after a few tries, although I almost burned my hand because it rotated so fast
Thanks super helpful
Thanks so much 😊
