How to Use a Drill/Driver, Impact Driver, & Hammer Drill and How They're Different

[@OutoftheWoodwork]

Here's a great jig that turns your circular saw into a do-almost-everything tool and there's a free plan available: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n2Tdg31unpt6e6M Watch more tool explanation videos: kzbin.info/aero/PLTY95XXc6N71G1FkDvqT93KURRaErR8rO

[@tonyhenderson7512]

I really appreciate properly used words and phrases. I can't help it. I was just born that way. For example, it hurts my soul when people say "I could care less" instead of "I couldn't care less". So, I smiled and nodded in agreement during the segment on pre-drilling :)

[@Johnslist]

I agree, I've been like that and then joined Toastmasters and was pleased to find others like that. It helped in CA to have others call out improper, cliche or jargon words as poor English. It's amazing out words become bastardized and repeated, incorrectly. My peeve is turning nouns into verbs: undergrounding, do you math? We were dialoging...

[@pmchamlee]

Tommy! I am 75 years old and have probably been using drills longer than you've been alive; however, you taught me something today! The proper way to secure a drill in the new drill motors was probably in the owners manual - but. I'm so smart, I didn't read it! I had no idea that actuallt torqueing it in was better than the "quick grab and trigger" method. Much obliged, young fellow. Excellent presentation. 🤠

[@OutoftheWoodwork]

Pete, thanks so much for the kind comment! I'm more than sure that you could teach me more than I could teach you, but I'm glad you learned something new from the video!

I realised recently that I've been stomping through my ignorance through sheer dumb luck and a bit of DIY experience, so I started looking for a 'back-to-basics' video on drilling. This is one of the best that I've found. It's really good. Subbed.

My home depot has a sale on dewalt drill sets right now (at the time of writing this) for like $150. It comes with a drill, an impact, a charger, and 2 1.5 AH batteries. I'm pretty happy with my purchase.

[@MatthewBryde]

This is one of my all time favourite KZbin videos, purely for the section on defining the meaning of "pre". I have this argument constantly, and can now send a link to this for any future conversations. In fact, just by typing this comment I'm already pre-drilling (and pre-ordering, pre-planning, pre-purchasing and most other pre-words)!

[@bop5277]

Can't thank you enough! I decided to buy a cordless drill, found one with an impact included in the "kit" and went with it... not knowing what the heck the impact was for! Hey, the sale price was great! I do my utmost to learn something new every day... thanks for educating me today! :) BOP

[@chriss.8801]

AWESOME VIDEO!!! Bro this video has taught me so much that I didn't know but wondered about. Being retired from the military and now newly resigned from the post office with a fairly new home I have a ton of things I want to do. I've had a drill for YEARS but never really had to use it to it's full potential until now. This video has taken me to another level!!!! THANKS A BUNCH!!!

[@iiRR3lephanttt]

I’ve been using these tools for eighteen years- and I definitely learned a thing or two here. Thank you for your content!

Been using these drills for a long time, never tightened the chuck to hear clicks no wonder some bits came loose. Thks for the great info.

I bought my first drill yesterday. I actually thought you drill and drive at same time. I didnt know about 'bits' thought the screw goes straight in- good thing i thought to come and watch

[@Synchronicitizen]

12:59 PM Just caught a deal at Lowe’s yesterday. This is helpful. Will be looking for beginner’s tutorials soon. Happy drilling!

The pre-drilling sketch deserves a subscribe and like.

[@pflaffik]

Its wrong though. Pre-drilling is very much used in a large number of applications, for example we always pre-drill a smaller hole before using a large diameter drillbit in metals, or else the large drillbit will wobble so much that the hole get the wrong diameter and often the drillbit will break from sideways forces.

[@justusspillner953]

Since retiring and having a little time on my hands for hobbies, I've watched hundreds of KZbin videos. I seldom make comments. But your bit on "pre-drilling" requires me to commend you on the funniest video I have seen to date. And even this comment constitutes "pre-drilling".

[@bookerjones1757]

Yours is the best, and the most comprehensive. Thanks.

[@infinikeys]

Very educational for noob like me in DIY. Thank you very much!

[@markpdouglas]

DeWalt's decision to put torque, drill and hammer all on a single collar is the reason I buy Makita. I regularly go from drilling to screwdriving. I do not want to be twisting that collar between every operation. Makita's approach of a torque collar and a separate drill/drive/hammer lever is a far superior solution.

[@chrismasters2521]

6:15 I'll also add that brushes tend to spark under heavy load - a massive problem if you're working near an explosive atmosphere or in a spark free zone.

[@Mububban23]

I started out with an entry level 18v drill + driver 2 piece kit, and later on added a brushless 18v hammer drill (same brand, better model). Having 3 items means less changing of bits when doing drilling, countersinking, and driving. Really saves time and faffing about. And if you stay in one ecosystem, the batteries are interchangeable too.

Cool. Great tips. You can also more accurately start a hole with a twist bit running it backwards, but nothing beats a good awl....nothing but pre-drlling that is. Cabinetmaker for last 22 years.

[@nra9792]

Thanks for sharing! very useful, very easy to learn with your amazing explanation

[@jayr526]

I watched your video start to finish because of the challenge that you presented. I have been using tools since before this century began. I did not learn anything. I must say that I use the trigger to tighten my bits. But, I always finish tightening them by hand, In that, I cetainly agree with you. Had I seen this in the 20th century, I would have learned what I know now. I would respectfully ask that you edit the challenge out of this. This is a great video for someone just getting into tools. I learned about finishing holes from the other side after I messed up a door using a jig.

[@willsbirdworld1510]

Thankyou!! This really helped me with my woodwork project! Really Good Video 👍😃💯

[@tomprovan50]

This was/is really great video, just my point of view I only buy expensive hole saws as the cheap ones don’t work as well through all my cheap stuff out. The auger bit I use all the time ½ and ¾ for electrical drilling through 2x4 walls and floor joists to run wires, yes it pulls right through only way to go for this job. The counter sink bit comes in Allen key or set screw the set screw is junk just buy ones with Allen keys. I have a bulky 90-degree attachment for drilling holes the one you are showing looks amazing for drilling and screwing, I am going to get one of those. I needed that yesterday as the bulky one cost me as I have to make a bigger hole in drywall, installing backing for plumbing. Thank you

[@georgemathew1155]

Very informative video. I really like the trick you showed to make the hole straight by putting two pieces of wood in 90 degree angle around the drill bit. I will try that. Thank you. You are a good teacher.

[@atadali6199]

I can't thank enough your very clear language or accent. I am not a native english and understand you very well

[@OutoftheWoodwork]

You're welcome!

[@tomelmore3993]

Excellent video, very informative. I've noticed on the tables listing drill size for a pilot hole for a given screw size, the pilot holes are larger than the screw shank, but, if I use a drill to match the screw shank, it provides a much tighter fit in wood, and often results in a damaged screw in metal.

[@OutoftheWoodwork]

I don't know why they recommend a drill bit so close to the size of the screw. I've found the same thing as you....a smaller hole works much better.

[@jdsalinger3731]

For your brilliant discourse on pre-drilling alone I would subscribe. Well-done and for all the usefull, articulate; clearly shown rest you present; I'm thrilled that I subscribed.

[@twinbee4243]

As a contractor, carpenter, framer and deck builder and Welder I only needs 2 of the 3! The impact driver and the hammer drill that's it. The one that I use for Driving Fasteners deck screws, structural lag screws and some short lag bolts while the other I use for drilling holes, pilot holes, and masonry. And in my experience I found that the drill driver alone is useless because it doesn't have a hammer function compare to the hammer drill. In the hammer drill you can also drive fasteners in there because it also have a clutch. More power and more torque than the drill driver. So Everytime I buy tools I always purchase them in a bundle kit package Impact Driver and Hammer Drill with batteries, charger and a tool bag. There's a lot of options out there a lot of selections and varieties. Either DeWalt, Makita, Bosch, Ryobi, Craftsman, Hilti, Ridgid, Flex, Hitachi/Metabo HPT and some cheap stuff like Harbor Freight Hercules and Bauer they always comes in a kit. In my opinion the best pair is the Impact Driver and the hammer drill. And in my jobsite I use 2 tool for driving Fasteners especially when pre drilling is required. Impact Driver is meant for driving Fasteners and hammer drill is mean for drilling holes. No I don't use paddle bit on any of my impact driver because that's stupid and dumb. If I want to use paddle bits I always put that thing on my hammer drill either on my DeWalt cordless or Bosch corded hammer drill.
