Black And Decker Drill Drivers

Drill Drivers

Drill drivers are power tools used in a wide range of drilling, driving, and fastening applications. They’re among the most universally popular tools, and you’re likely to find at least one in the collection of every at-home DIYer and professional alike. They are available in both corded and cordless models. A drill driver can easily drill holes into wood, walls, and other materials, as well as drive screws and other fasteners. They’re an essential tool for everything from minor repairs around the home to large-scale construction and remodeling projects.

Important Features
There are several key factors to consider when purchasing a drill driver. Keep these features in mind as you think about how you’ll be using your drill.

Voltage
The higher the voltage, the more powerful the drill. Select a drill driver with a voltage that’s appropriate for your level of work. Light tasks around the house should only require a 6V to 12V tool. Moderate jobs call for 12V to 18V, which is a solid all-around range for most users. Serious construction projects and other intense applications may need a drill with anywhere from 24V to as high as 36V of power.

Torque
Torque is the twisting force that the drill driver can apply. It’s another important element in determining how powerful the tool is. Torque is measured in in-lbs. In order to drill through tough materials like metal or concrete, you’ll need a tool with more torque (i.e. more in-lbs). If you work with these types of materials and routinely take on heavy jobs, find a drill driver with at least 400 in-lbs of torque.

Variable Speed
Having the flexibility to adjust the speed of your drill to the job at hand is a tremendous benefit. A drill driver with a variable speed feature allows you to change the RPM based on whether you need more power or a lighter touch. You can use one drill for a wide range of tasks, as opposed to alternating between individual tools with different speed settings depending on the work.

Brushless Motor
A brushless motor is a must when selecting a drill driver for multiple reasons. It can automatically adjust its power output based on the demands of the present task, which greatly reduces the chance of the motor overheating. This means the tool will operate more efficiently and last longer, which is good news for those working for extended periods of time.
