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!
- there may also be variable speed settings (slider on top)
- use the slower one (1) for screwing to prevent slipping
- the higher speed can be used for drilling
Tool Bits
- screwdriver bits and bit holders
- drill bits (shafts typically limited to 10 mm)

There used to be two batteries, but one was quite old and only held its charge for a very short time. It was therefore upgraded to a corded pack.
