Cordless Drill Basics | Beginner

[@wolfgang4468]

All you need to know in a nutshell plus some good tips from a long-time practitioner. This is great advice if you haven't got a clue and are not sure what to look for when buying your first (or a better second) cordless drill. I bet it took you much longer than most people would think to make this short to-the-point video.

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Yes, they do take a VERY long time to make... but I do it for viewers like you. You are worth it! 😀

[@vienna8392]

Thank you! I have a cupboard that is falling down, and the men in my life aren’t helping me 😂 I needed this, thank you!

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Ha, glad the video got you moving forward.

[@peacelove3817]

Got to the point clearly with out confusing us with too much talking. Great video handsome! Thanks.

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@birdsofparadise1]

[@and4all706]

I love the spark of life in his eyes.

[@NaJoeLibre]

I am in no way a handyman, but I just bought a house. Great starter video to de-mystify for me tools like this 😀

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Congrats on the house! When you watch more of my videos please ask questions if you have em.'

[@creativepotato816]

This was a fantastic tutorial, very clear, to the point, and informative!!! Thank you so greatly, this is just what I was looking for!!

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Much appreciated! If you want to support my work, please drop some more comments on my other videos! This helps to wake up the YT algorithms. :)

[@billysgarden]

Thank you! Straight to the point. Learned a lot from this video.

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Glad to hear that.

[@J36gE]

Great tips and right to the point

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

thanks for the comment.

[@nessbrooks6442]

Another great and informative video. I should have watched this one a couple days ago.

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Ha! I'm glad you got a new drill yesterday.

[@ChrisLightbulb]

Thanks for this. Wow, this was way too quick and brushed over for me. I might look for a longer video with more detail and explanations haha! Edit: Upon second watch after a few other videos, this is a pretty good second-stage high-level overview to re-cap the basics once you understand them, albeit still pretty rushed without enough explanation.

I'm not dummy, I subscribed. Thank you

[@ineedclosure4163]

Very nice tutorial! Right to the point and very well formatted

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@katiesbeenyarnified]

This was such a great video to come across! I am in the market for a cordless drill and have no idea what I’m looking for and this gave me some great info to start with. Now, what kind of drill should I get?! 😬 the biggest project I would use it for would be removing a mantle piece from a plaster wall and hanging shelves on a plaster wall. I’m scared of the plaster, it’s old, textured and I’m worried it’s going to crumble and make a mess. Besides these home projects, I would hope to be able to use the drill to put some furniture together from Wayfair, IKEA…places like that and for small crafting/diy projects in the future. The other thing important to me is finding a cordless drill that isn’t a monster. I have small hands and want to be able to hold it comfortably if at all possible. If anyone has any suggestions or can help lead me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it. Again, thanks for this video, I will probably watch it a few more times to let all of that sink in. 😁

[@T0MaTOS]

I enjoyed this video...THANK YOU!

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@katerinakucerova5974]

Love ur videos! Well explained especially with hand circular saw as I’m thinking to buy one ( fed up to asking staff in shops to cut me a wood with my measurements) but to be honest I feel little bit scared to use it ! But I guess confidence will come with practice.

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Exactly Katerina, confidence with practice! Let me know how I can help... now go buy that saw! 😀

[@rosale8533]

Really really helpful presentation. Thanks so much!

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Awesome, thank you!

[@BABYGIRL4U1]

Yes ,very glad i found you. I want to put shelves up but i’m scared of drilling into wires & my walls are plasterboard. Do you have any videos on this?

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Sorry I don't at this time. Do you know how to use a stud finder?

[@yeshua1st]

Very succinct! Love it

[@kauerpc]

Very well explained!

[@rogsolaris7411]

Do you need to pre-drill a hole (with a drill bit) before drilling in the screw?

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Yes, It's always a good idea.

[@torontoraptors2107]

April 2022. Liked and subd! Thank you brother

my father never taught me and gets angry at me helping him with things. thank you.

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

I'm really sorry to hear that! Let me know if you have more questions-I'd be happy to help you catch up and get back on track. 🙂

[@appleknocker56]

If you can’t use a drill & must make a level spot using those furniture leveling feet on the underside would just using G6000 glue work & when fully dry can then twist them until your surface is level? Reason asking is have very tiny hands, never used an electric drill & afraid will hurt my own self with it! Is that glue strong enough & must it be used in ventilated areas only? I know nothing about building things but it must be level as use it in my art projects. Tyvm & know your tips will help ppl that aren’t afraid of electric drills.

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

If you can't use a drill then the G6000 (or similar glue) should work... however there are no guarantees. Please read the directions on the glue, but for sure use in a ventilated area.

[@kp2781]

Thank you for these videos, was very informative and right to the point. I am thinking of buying a circular saw and couple of other things so I can build my dog a large bed (daybed type). Going to keep watching your videos as you always have amazing tips before I start planning!

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Glad my videos are helpful for you Ketan! Thanks for subscribing too!

[@langit7lapis]

Request grinder basic and advance for next video

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Do you have any particular uses you have in mind that you want me to show? Thanks for the requests.

[@langit7lapis]

Yes especially 4 inch grinders, like safety when using grinders powertools, the right way to cut and grind on different material. What do and dont with grinders. Thanks for your response.

[@drewshaw5564]

Wowza

[@alvin4100]

What does w in drill mean? Is a higher w make a stronger drill?

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

I'm not sure what w means.... Drills are normally sized by amps or volts.

[@jb888888888]

0:35 So you're saying that a 3/8" drill by definition is not high quality and does not have a lithium-ion battery. I suspect you didn't mean to say that but it's what you said. Size of chuck and quality/battery type are not dependent upon one another.

[@nerdowlesa]

Slipping the clutch means?????

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Hello. Did I use that term in the video?

[@Chillwave.o]

when did i even click on this

[@saturnboof7590]

Right? I don’t remember clicking on this video but is says I watched a minute of it

[@chaoscidetv]

@@saturnboof7590Weird. Mines the same way

He made the red bar apart of his thumbnail picture to make it look like we have clicked on it before

[@areelreaction]

'Withdraw' the bit from the 'hole'. hehehe

[@theresaturner3124]

I can’t get the drill bit out

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

They do get stuck sometimes... give it all you got! 💪

[@theresaturner3124]

@@TrainingHandsAcademy Thank you 😊 I gave up in the end then when Hubby got home he informed me that it does get stuck and needs strong 💪 hands to get it unstuck. Thank you ☺️

[@billypeacock8520]

I use a lot of your videos to teach my students in Principles of Construction. I slow the speech speed down to .85 and it helps them to comprehend better. I like using your material. I do totally disagree with you in one respect. Using your method of tightening the bit in the chuck is wrong according to DeWalt and what we have found using DeWalt and B&D cordless drills. I teach my students to tighten by hand as we have had in the past, several drill chuck hang up by the pull the trigger method. They do not know the meaning of slow engagement or snug. To support my belief is this statement which is found in the Operators Manual for Cordless drills: Keyless Single Sleeve Chuck (Fig. 7-9) WARNING: Do not attempt to tighten drill bits (or any other accessory) by gripping the front part of the chuck and turning the tool on. Damage to the chuck and personal injury may result. Black & Decker has a similar statement: WARNING: Do not attempt to tighten drill bits (or any other accessory) by gripping the front part of the chuck and turning the tool on. Damage to the chuck and personal injury may occur when changing accessories. It may seem a bit trifle, however, what they learn first, they repeat throughout their life. Learned actions are hard to unlearn.

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

Sounds good, teach them the right way first. Keep up the good work!

[@THEMAX00000]

Zero advice about safety, zero advice about how to keep the drilled from twisting in your hand and catching your finger or breaking your wrist…. Absolutely useless

[@TrainingHandsAcademy]

I would not recommend using a drill then.

[@ratansharma951]

​​@@TrainingHandsAcademyAn expert like you should not have responded in such a way. Firstly it is clear that he watched your full video before commenting. Then may be he got hurt while using a drill. Even the best craftsmen do get hurt. When starting using tools, ALL of us start as beginners. It is said that the first step is the hardest. It is also said that that trees laden with fruits do bend downwards. An expert like you should have realized that someone might have had an accident while using a tool and may be ventilating his anguish rather than thinking of commenting adversely. His language of course is undesirable. It was wonderful that you did not use any bad words or retort. As for me, a novice, and a beginner who liked your video. I don't own a jigsaw yet, as am not a woodworker. Just a home user trying to do small bits of work at home, trying not to rely much on other's help.
