Drills are versatile, heavy-duty handheld power tools that bore holes across multiple surfaces for tightening and loosening screws and bolts. These hand tools can bore holes over various surfaces and materials, including metal, wood, concrete, and plastic. Power drills are designed to be lightweight for one-hand operation with convenience. A drill can be rechargeable using multiple reliable batteries, including Li-Ion and XR Li-Ion. Furthermore, they are designed to provide extended operation time with both angled and straight orientations. Also, drills are indispensable tools for various electrical, plumbing, construction, and carpentry works. Enrgtech stocks high-efficiency manual and power drills from leading manufacturers, including Bosch drills, Makita drills, DeWALT drills, and Facom drills.
Potential Benefits of Drills
Drills, whether manual or powered, are essential tools, providing multiple benefits in terms of:
- Efficiency and Versatility
- Ease of Use
- Corded or Cordless Designs
- Power and Control
- Variety of Sizes
- Precision and Portability
- Ergonomic and Lightweight Design
- Adaptability
- Cost-Efficiency
- Safety Features.
Most Popular Types of Drills
There is an excellent range of drill types available, including:
- Corded Drills: Corded drills are powered by an electrical cord and offer consistent power in a limited range. They provide more consistent power than cordless models without requiring rechargeable batteries.
- Cordless Drills: These are battery-powered drills, providing more flexibility and mobility than corded drills. The power and duration of a cordless drill depend on the battery's voltage and capacity. Common battery types include Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) and Nickel-Cadmium (NiCd).
- Hammer Drills: Like Jackhammers, hammer drills offer greater torque over harder materials like masonry and stone with increased force applied to the bit during operation.
- SDS Drills: These powerful hammer drills employ a slotted drive system for drilling or chiselling force. They are ideal for heavy-duty drilling applications on hard materials such as stone, concrete, and masonry.
- Drill Drivers: These drills offer dual functions, i.e., hole drilling and driving screws into holes with user-defined torque settings. They allow smooth drilling applications with lower torque settings.
- Impact Drills and Drivers: Like drill drivers, impact drills and drivers offer the same properties; however, they allow maximum torque and power for driving screws and hex bolts. They are ideal for drilling tough and knotty metals or wood with only one gear and greater torque specifications.
- Combi Drills: With their hammer actions, these easy-to-screw and multipurpose drills provide maximum drilling across materials such as metals, plastic, wood, and masonry. They feature a keyless chuck for holding drill bits.
- Magnetic Drills: Magnetic or mag drills are portable metal bench drills with a magnet on their base for locking themselves onto the materials during drilling. The built-in magnets prevent drills from moving and are used with annual cutters for a precise cut.
- Angle Drills: As the name suggests, angle drills feature a bent head of 90 degrees, ideal for hard-to-access areas that allow it to drill or drive screws in confined spaces.
Typical Applications of Drills
Drills are indispensable tools with multiple drilling applications in various settings. They are ideal for:
- Metal Working
- Wood Working
- Construction
- Carpentry
- Utility Projects
- Electrical and Plumbing Installation
- Automotive Repair
- Machine Tool Fabrication
- Manufacturing Processes
- Metallurgy
- Electronics
- Home Automation Tasks.
- Masonry.
