Electric Drill

Corded electric drills provide continuous power for suitable wood, metal and other approved drilling tasks. Compare machines by motor wattage, chuck capacity and type, forward/reverse controls, speed range and manufacturer-rated drilling capacity. A non-hammer drill and a hammer drill serve different applications, so check the exact model’s operating modes.

Match drill bits to the chuck and work material, and check whether the package includes a chuck key, auxiliary handle or case. For workshop use, secure the workpiece and keep cords away from rotating equipment. Read the manufacturer’s capacity and electrical-safety instructions before selecting a drill for demanding or repeated work.
