Don't Buy a Drill Without Watching This First

[@williamshanks8580]

Leah, As a retired physics teacher,myself, I rate you as a master teacher. Your material is well chosen, well organized, clearly presented, concise and so clearly pronounced that I can hear every word! Keep up the good work. I look forward to all your videos. I also perceive a certain kindness in your voice that shows you care about your listeners, all marks of a great teacher! Thank you.

[@frodrguez]

Well, I am not a physics teacher, but I am a mechanical engineer and there isn’t anything I can’t figure out on my own. All these people praising this lady should have noticed she cheated. There was a countersink on the wood with the screw with the higher torque setting so yes, screw will sit flush. I highly doubt there is one thing I could learn from this lady. I was just here for the different drill brands.

[@martyrhea6173]

I’m the handy one at my house and I’m self-taught. I used to have to do everything twice, once doing it wrong or badly, and then taking what I learned and doing it correctly. After I found Leah, I can now do new things correctly the first time! If I have a pro come to do a bigger job, they almost always ask if my husband has a [whatever tool they are missing] and I say no he doesn’t, but I do! As a result, my grown daughters are not afraid to tackle projects when they need too, either! Thanks for the great instruction, Leah!

[@johntank7560]

Great video. I own several drills and from my experience get the lithium ion vs Nicad since Nicad has a memory effect meaning that if you charge the nicad without fully discharging it will have a shorter lifespan. Lithium does not have that problem. For beginners make sure the drill has a level on the rear so you can drill screws (or holes) straight into the wood. A level on top will also help drilling screws straight vertically. Having a torque setting is very helpful as Jane stated it will drive the screw flush with the wood. Also consider when buying a drill that it will be helpful if the same battery for the drill can fit other tools you may need in the future. My drill's battery fits my impact driver, reciprocating saw, angle grinder, impact wrench, etc. This way you only need to buy one replacement battery for all the tools, which will save you money rather than buying a battery for each tool. Brushless drill are not worth it if you plan on using your drill every now and then.

[@filmbluff99]

I would add that as well as looking at the voltage of the drill, it is important to look at the amp-hour capacity (Ahr) of the battery, the larger the Ahr the longer time the drill will run between needing to be recharged. Typically many drill batteries are in the range 1.2 to 4.0 Ahr.

[@vdougla8s]

[@ShelliLoop]

I LOVE your vids but you “cheated” when demoing the torque in putting in wood screws. The “low torque “ screw was not PRE-COUNTERSUNK but the other “higher torque” screw hole was pre countersunk. Did you notice?

[@snorman1951]

You're right. In the first shot, neither was countersunk. In the second shot, there it was. Very obvious. Also, the screw was not flush as stated. Neither shot showed much torque. She got the point across, but cheated a bit in the process

Nice eye, I caught this as well and the term for it is countersinking. You drill a hole the size of the head on the screw so that when you screw it in on a low torque setting it is flush.

[@joemartin278]

I noticed it to, very misleading, when she drives the first screw, both screws are set the same. But when she goes to screw in the second one, it’s countersunk. Disingenuous at best. I’m disappointed, I wonder what else she isn’t being forthcoming with in her videos.

Nothing feels better than being able to chuck up four different drills for a project and not have to re-chuck or misplace bits. My goto drill is Ryobi's quiet strike impact as I can continue projects late into the night and not wake up my family. Leah, can you talk about driver bits? I've always steered clear of Philips and used only square drive. Nowadays the trend is to use torx, I miss being able to find square drive screws at Home Depot. I now have to order my screws from Woodcraft's website. They're 5lbs bucket or random screws is the best deal ever.

As you mentioned, it is a great idea for someone shopping for a drill today get in the store to really get a feel for the different manufacturers and their different models. I bought a Hitachi drill 20v last year, due to my wife working in Hitachi IT and got a low price for it. one of the worst drill I've ever owned. No torque, Rpms weren't high enough. I ended up trading up to a Dewalt DCD996b. Love that drill...solid built, sturdy and a work horse. It has 3 speeds and very impressed with the control on speed 1 and it's torque. To each it own, but it's always a good thing to get in the store to handle the different brands and their models

No matter how much torque or speed any drill has it will never drive a counter sink screw flush with the wood if the hole is not counter sunk.

Posting this seven months after you posted. How is the Nicad drill working out? I’m still on Dewalt Nicad tools and I’ll probably stay with them until the drill gives out.

[@dabobb1474]

Why is it when you were showing the torx settings you counter sunk one screw. It defeats showing the torx settings in my opinion.

[@jfitzpatrick6108]

daBobb Yes! I saw that, as well! Originally neither hole was countersunk, but after the first screw was down then, magically, the second screw was sitting in a countersunk hole -- making it MUCH easier to drive flush -- so easy it could have been driven flush with a hand tool.

[@G5rry]

Firstly, it's torque, not torx. Torx is a type of socket on a screw head. Torque is the amount of force needed to turn the screw. Second, she probably did a second take, but the torque setting still helped because it prevented her from burying the screw any deeper than she wanted.

[@LickorishAllsorts]

I agree with G5rry, classic blooper!

Drill have changed so much (for the better) over the years. When I first started home repair, t was a heavy duty metal thing, a Craftsman. Then Black&Decker came out with a lighter drill, and I switched to that. A couple of more over the years, and I was starting to have wrist problems, and my drill has harder to use. But since my drill was still perfectly fine, and really I didn’t use it that much anymore, couldn’t see myself buying a new one. Mentioned this to my electrician who was replacing all ceiling fixtures, and he said, “Well that’s stupid. You should get one that doesn’t hurt your wrist.” He let me try his, and though it was bigger model I could feel the difference in the balance and ergonomics. So I checked out the hardware stores and found small lightweight one that was like an extension of my own hand. It fell in love with that Makita. He was right. And, due to your video, I now appreciate the difference between torque and speed, so thank you.

[@bigblue8986]

Good vid

[@DR-zt9gs]

Lots of good information. Another consideration that I have used is quality that is desired and battery platform. I have built a good tool shop of Milwaukeee 18V tools...they work well for me, and I have had no problems with them. The plus here is that they continue to build the line of products that use the same batteries. The only thing I would add to your tutorial is that if you have multiple tools using the same batteries, it is a good idea to buy an extra battery for each tool you plan to use on a regular basis. I charge one and still have one fully charged and ready to go.

We've tried and broken, a lot of different battery powered drills at work and our Makita is doing pretty good. I really like it because of how light it is and with the brushless motor the top is small compared to other makes. Your information about the batteries is right on. The lithium batteries hold up much better than the Ni-cads. And yes shell out the extra bucks and get the two speeds and variable torque settings. You'll be happy you did.

Leah - great informative video as always. One point you forgot to touch on is the amp hour rating of the battery! I notice that the ones you showed were 1.5 amp hours which is Ok for a light duty drill, but if you are using a hammer drill for example, you need at least a 5 amp hour battery. MAKES THE WORLD OF DIFFERENCE AS FAR AS POWER IS CONCERNED. Drilling through thick metal or wood, the drill does not ''bog down'', especially when cutting when using a hole saw for running electrical or plumbing rough ins through 2x4 or 2x6 studs. I just picked up a new Milwaukee Gen 3 hammer drill and it does everything else as well. In the demo given by the Milwaukee factory rep, it was clear the power difference. I still have my Gen1 and I will use it for light projects, but the Gen 3 unit is amazing. Stay safe. John
