DeWalt Handdrill
This equipment is safety category 6: Other equipment with no limits.
This equipment is Noise Category 2:
Can be used at all hours, but in moderation.
Be considerate; if you feel you need to wear ear protection,
then only use the tool between 07:00 and 19:00.
To drill holes.
The drill has a clutch, so can be used to drive in screws if you must. But you probably want to use the DeWalt Impact drill/electric screwdriver - it is designed for this and gives you more control.
If you do want to use the drill - then make sure you apply enough pressure on the screw to keep it from stripping. Also make sure you apply the pressure straight (i.e. not through the handle) - that helps a lot.
However - if you need to apply a lot of pressure - then use the DeWalt Impact drill/electric screwdriver -- as you end up ruining it.
We currently have two
- One in the wood section - which has a slightly wobbly head due to it being used for screws.
- One in the cupboard in the metal section - which is bought especially to keep in a good state - and it should ONLY be used for drilling.
