Cordless drills are very versatile tools and should not be missing from any workshop. Besides drilling, as the name implies, they are mostly used for driving screws ("electric screwdriver").
Here's a nice video about the internal mechanics of a typical drill!
Proper Use
Please follow these simple guidelines to avoid damage to your screws, material, or the drill itself:
- the torque (DE: Drehmoment) can typically be set with the ring before the chuck
- better start out too low than to round your screw in the first try - wood may also be damaged if screws (especially self-tapping/"Spax") are inserted too deep
- the drilling setting at the end of the scale should only be used for drilling, it creates way too much torque for screws and screwdriver bits!
- excessive torque does NOT make you screw faster, it really just wrecks stuff...
- there may also be variable speed settings (slider on top)
- only change when the drill is fully stopped
- use the slower one (1) for screwing to prevent slipping
- the higher speed can be used for drilling
Bits
- screwdriver bits and bit holders
- drill bits (shaft diameter typically limited to 10 mm)

A smaller and lighter cordless drill, that is best paired with a 2Ah battery. Was bought via betterplace donations in 2022 and another one through a private donation in 2022.

We have two Makita DDF484 cordless drills. They have a 2 step metal gearbox for different drilling speeds. A torque limit for screwing can be set with the dial behind the chuck. Please use it to avoid breaking bits and screws due to too much torque! The chuck can hold up to 13mm drill bits.
One drill was donated by Ed and the batteries/charger are sponsored from multiple member donations, our Amazon Smile income as well as for the Tor4 workshops.
