Whether you’re a DIY pro or a complete beginner, you will find that it is extremely important to choose the right tools for the task you are working on. Exploring the options before you hire or buy tools is vital to ensure you can begin – and finish – the job efficiently. With a multi-purpose piece of machinery such as a drill, it is more important than ever to research exactly what you need before you buy.
Drills: Learn The Lingo
For many DIY tasks, from putting up shelves to creating artisan furniture, you will find that a drill is an essential piece of kit. If you have never owned a drill before, it will help to research the different types available and to understand the terminology used. Talk to us at Macroom Tool Hire & Sales – we’re a friendly, family team who have years of experience with all sorts of tools and we’d love to chat about exactly what you need for the job you’re planning.
What to Consider When Buying a Drill
What will you use it for? You would require a different type of drill or drill bit for attaching a sign to your front wall than for putting up an internal shelf. A specific masonry drill will be hardwearing and perfect for your outdoor projects.
Do you have convenient power sources? If you have plenty of power outlets in your house and garden or garage, a corded drill will allow you to tackle any task at your convenience. However, if you need to work at the end of the garden or to carry out a specific task in a harder to reach area of your home, a cordless drill will be a flexible and useful option.
How much work will you be doing with it?If you are buying a cordless model, Check how long it will hold charge for and consider whether you will need an extra battery pack.
How much can you afford to spend? As with many types of machinery, you will find that prices vary greatly between models and you should look for quality and durability as well as bargain prices. Check out online reviews to help you decide on a model.
Do you need extra drill bits? When you’ve found a model you like, check whether it comes with drill bits and how many are included if so. You may need to budget for an additional set of multipurpose bits or any specialist sizes you might require for specific tasks, such as a masonry drill bit, for drilling into external walls.
