"The first set of tools I ever got was an IKEA hand tool set (filled with a couple types of wrenches, a hammer, and a multi-head screwdriver), given to me as a high school graduation present. But it wasn't until I finished college and got my first drill (in fact, the same drill I have now!) that I felt like a real-deal adult. Learning how to use a drill opened up so many opportunities to customize my home to suit my needs and tastes."
"A cordless drill can be intimidating to beginning DIYers, but it's not as scary as it looks - and it's well worth having one around if you ever want to do something as simple as install wall hooks or hang a heavy mirror. Here's everything you need to know about how a drill works and how to use it around your home stress-free."
Many people start with basic hand tool sets but acquiring a cordless drill enables more extensive home customization. A cordless drill both bores holes and drives screws, making it versatile for tasks from installing wall hooks to hanging heavy mirrors. Key components include the chuck that grips bits, a forward/reverse switch for rotation direction, a clutch torque selector to set drilling or driving force, a trigger to activate the tool, and a rechargeable battery. Beginners may find drills intimidating at first, but understanding controls and using appropriate torque settings reduces errors and enables stress-free DIY around the home.
