Drill-Drivers - The Best of Both Worlds

Any professional craftsperson could tell you that the selection of drills and drivers is endless. Each application, it seems, requires an entirely different set of tools. Craftspeople everywhere are juggling bits, cords, and batteries in a futile attempt to make that standard drill just drive a screw a little better; they struggle with bits and bit changes, with drills that merely spin and lack the power to drive efficiently. But beyond the struggle between man and power drill, beyond the daunting rows of drills and drivers, the best of both worlds exists in just one tool: the drill/driver.

Drill Bit Sharpener

The marriage between drill and driver is a unparalleled convenience. A drill/driver still works like an ordinary drill but is built to drive screws, and to drive them better, and more efficiently than any standard power drill. The drill/driver really is having your cake and eating it too combining the functionality of both a drill and a driver into one tool. This amplified functionality and total durability make the drill/driver a staple part of any craftsman's (or home-owner's) toolbox. Please read on for information on some of the industries leading drill/drivers from Makita, Hitachi and BOSCH.

Drill Bit Sharpener

The Makita 10.8v Compact Lithium Ion Cordless Drill/Driver Kit: Makita has nearly 90 years of experience in producing some of the industries best and most quality products. Their line of power tools is always reliable, always tough and their new compact cordless drill kit is no exception. This two speed drill/driver dishes out 200in/lbs of torque delivering famous Makita power in a comfortable, compact design. This distinct two speed feature (0-350 / 0-1,300 RPM) allows for a wide range of drilling and driving applications bringing the versatility of this tool to a whole new level. Its functionality, matched with the tool's uniquely Makita features, maximize productivity and convenience on the job. Weighing only 1.9lbs this drill/driver's ultra compact design markedly reduces operator fatigue, and its ergonomic shape offers simpler controllability and even pressure throughout. The tool also has a soft grip handle for increased operator comfort and control; and with the convenience and mobility of a cordless tool, this new Makita drill driver is truly an exceptional product.

Makita has designed this power tool with a built-in LED light to help illuminate your work space and increase safety. The drill/driver kit uses a 10.8v Makita lithium ion battery for maximum run time and extended battery life. Makita lithium ion battery technology offers superior battery power in a more light weight, more efficient package. With its sleek black and white design and practical, light weight construction, every homeowner should have this drill. Makita has engineered the DF030DW to be versatile, efficient, and compact; an ideal tool for hobbyists and home improvement projects - and yet still powerful enough for contractors and carpenters.

The Makita DF030DW is backed by Makita's exclusive battery technology and superior engineering; it also comes with two lithium ion 1.3ah batteries and a fifty minute battery charger. In addition, a #2 double ended Phillips bit, and a secure tool case and tool holster are also included in the kit. Makita's cordless driver/drill kit comes with a three year factory warranty and a one year factory warranty on the batteries and charger.

The Hitachi 10.8v Lithium Ion Micro Drill/Driver: Hitachi's technology and durability is well known throughout the tool industry and their power tools are famed for their quality. Hitachi's micro drill/driver is a prime example of such innovation and value. Firstly, the 10.8v lithium ion micro drill/driver weighs a mere 1.8lbs for ultra compact convenience. The tool delivers 88 in/lbs of torque and has an unique 21+1 chuck with 21 torque settings and a drill mode for maximum accuracy and control. The chuck has a 1/4" hex and quick changes for easy bit replacement - it also spins in both forward and reverse to enhance drilling/driving capabilities.

The DB10DL is not only designed ergonomically for superior comfort, but also in a way that allows the drill to stand on its own when not in use. This ultra balanced tool weight reduces operator stress and fatigue through allowing the users wrist to remain aligned. Hitachi has also built this drill/driver with a LED light ring around the chuck to help keep work spaces light and safe. The tool has a variable speed trigger (0-400RPM) for maximum control over even the most intricate operations, and a battery charge indicator light conveniently designed to warn users when run-time is getting low. The DB10DL micro drill/driver runs with powerful Hitachi battery technology and with a patented charging system. This system prevents over heating and power loss, thus extending the overall life of the battery.

Hitachi's micro drill/driver, with it unique versatility, great features and compact size, is ideal for home-owners and hobbyists. Though the tool is still strong, it is most ideal for more precise and delicate operations. Its sleek and comfortable design and its supreme versatility qualifies this tool as the tiny giant of its class. Hitachi's 10.8v lithium ion micro drill/driver includes two 1.5 Ah (amp hours) lithium ion batteries, a quick charger, a Phillips driver bit and seven-piece bit set, and a durable carrying case. The tool also comes backed with Hitachi's industry-leading five year warranty.

The BOSCH 12v Max Litheon Impactor Fastening Driver: BOSCH has long been known throughout the tool industry for their exceptional quality and innovative design. Their tools have a commanding reputation of power and durability, so it comes as no surprise that BOSCH has just introduced a new impactor fastening driver with the most force in its class. BOSCH's new 12v impactor is designed with a powerful hammer and anvil system that produces a huge 800in/lbs of torque. This amazing force offers up to 300 percent more torque than any other drill/driver to date. The driver is powered by a high performance motor that delivers 1,800 RPM and 3,000 BPM for serious, fast fastening and optimal tool performance. Additionally, the impactor is powered by BOSCH's supreme Litheon battery technology. Litheon batteries utilize lithium ion technology in a compact, lightweight design to optimize battery life, power, and runtime. The driver is also designed with a variable speed trigger for a wide range of speeds and applications. BOSCH's impactor uses a 1/4" hex quick change chuck that can instantly change from drill bits to driving bits for ultra efficiency and convenience.

BOSCH's new impactor (driver/drill), weighs in at only 2.2lbs, is sleek and compact, and still packs maximum power and superior force. The tool's ergonomic design and soft grip optimizes operator comfort and control. Furthermore, the PS40-2A has three built-in LED work lights in the front end of the tool to illuminate works areas and increase precision. The tool is designed with bumpers on its sides to prevent slipping and protect work surfaces.

With its light weight, superior functionality, and its maximum driving power and hammering action, this tool will simplify woodworking and home- improvement projects. With its comfortable size and industry leading torque, the tool is ideal for both installers and other serious carpenters, as well as for hobbyists. The tool is backed by BOSCH's reputation of power and durability, and their Provantage three year tool protection plan. BOSCH's impactor fastening driver also includes two Litheon 12v max batteries, a 30 minute charger, two 1.5" power driver bits, and a carrying case for security and convenience.

Some Tips on Choosing the Right Drill Bit For Your Drill

When it is time to bore a hole, a drill bit attached to the end of a power drill is often the most efficient method. Bits need to be selected to match both the job and the material. While there are special types that do not fall into traditional measuring standards, most are made in either standard or metric sizes. Most bits are used to make round holes, but some of the special ones create various shapes.

Drill Bit Sharpener

The most common type in use today is the twist bit. It can be used to bore holes in metal, wood, and plastic depending on the angle and fluting of the bit. Twist bits are commonly available in many sizes, from the tiny ones with a diameter of about two thousandths of an inch to those with a diameter approaching four inches. Lengths for home use can reach almost forty inches.

Drill Bit Sharpener

Center bits often are used for metals to make a starter hole that will be drilled with a larger bit. However, the true purpose of center bits is to make an indentation for a lathe. Spotting bits are actually the preferred choice for starter holes.

When the job calls for enlarging a hole that already exists, core or reamer bits can be used. The choice is determined by how much the hole needs to be enlarged. Reamers should be used when only a small increase is needed, while cores should be used when much more material must be removed.

A brad point or dowel bit is the same thing, and these are sometimes referred to as lip and spurs. They are often chosen for use on wood and plastic. They are cousins of the twist style, but can produce a neater hole. A twist bit can catch and pull fibers, leaving a messy hole.

Paddle or spade bits are often used with wood, although they can cause splintering when exiting. They are made almost entirely for hand drills. Woodworkers often prize them because they can produce a neater hole than most twist bits.

One type that is very popular with construction workers is the speed or step bit, also called a Unibit. These can drill holes in numerous sizes, eliminating the need to switch bits for each new task. They work with plywood, particle board, sheet rock, and many more materials.

Masonry bits are designed for use with an electric or battery powered hammer drill. Hammering of the masonry at the end of the bit helps increase penetration. They are marketed in a wide array of sizes as well as lengths.

Electricians have helped make installer bits popular. These may also be called bell hangers. The bit itself features a hole, and when the bit is inserted, it can fish wiring out from between walls and bring it back.

By selecting the proper type and size you need for the job to be performed, you can finish faster and with neater results. Most bits can be used with a portable electric drill, but there are times when you may have to resort to a hand bit. Fortunately, these times occur only rarely.

Sharpening Drill Bits Manually

Although electric drill bit sharpeners can provide you with a perfect end result, there is no reason why sharpening drill bits manually cannot be contemplated. Over the years I have sharpened many steel and wood drill bits quite successfully on a bench grinder. If you have a fairly good eye for angles, you should not have too much of a problem.

Drill Bit Sharpener

Things to consider
A bench grinder fitted with a diamond-grinding wheel is the best tool for sharpening drill bits. It also makes a lot of sense to practise on old or broken bits before attempting the real thing.

Drill Bit Sharpener

The bigger the drill bit, the easier the task becomes. With smaller bits it becomes trickier. A snapped bit is even more challenging as you have to start from scratch. A good starting point here is to flatten the break first before starting to shape the angles.

Displaying your largest bit, can give you a good guideline for sharpening other bits. You can even use this bit to practice the required motions on the edge of your workbench.

The most important aspect is that the cutting edges be at the same angle with the corners at the same level horizontally. Also, it is important to note that the shoulders are rounded and slope gently down, backwards from the cutting edges.

The Process
Most manual drill bit sharpening guidelines neglect to tell you on which side of the grinding wheel you are operating. For this exercise we are operating on the right hand side if the grinding wheel, which in my opinion is natural for a right-hander. If you are left handed, just reverse the order.

Stand slightly to the right of the grinding wheel, feet apart. Hold the drill about a quarter of the way along from the point, using the left thumb and forefinger. Rest these fingers on the grinder's tool rest. Use the right hand to hold the drill at its shank.

Hold the bit with the shank angled off to the right at about 60 degrees. Use the right hand to swing the shank of the drill out to the right. These are very slight movements. Remember to keep the left hand supported by the tool rest. As you move your right hand, use your left hand fingers to roll the drill anti-clockwise about a quarter-turn and simultaneously feed the drill forward against the grinding wheel.

Repeat this action as required, alternating between opposite cutting edges.

Power Tool Buying Guide For Drill Bits

Having the right drill bit will make all the world of difference. Also make sure the bit is sharp. Most drill bits will do the work themselves with only a little bit of pressure. If you find yourself having to use a lot of force to drill, then it is probably time to throw that bit away and get another. Using dull bits can ruin your work and put unnecessary wear and tear on your drill.

Drill Bit Sharpener

Drill Bit Materials

Drill Bit Sharpener

Steel Bits - Inexpensive and good for softwoods. Will dull quickly with hardwood and even break.

High Speed Steel Bits - Harder than steel blades and will stay shaper slightly longer.

Titanium Coated Bits - Cost more than High Speed Steel, but this is a tougher material and will stay sharper longer.

Carbide Tipped - More expensive than the previous bits but will stay shaper longer than any of them.

Cobalt Bits - Extremely hard and great for applications with heat build up because it dissipates the heat. Good for Stainless Steel and other metals.

Drilling Tips

Use a twist bit for general drilling. A high speed bit is the best.

When you drill concrete, brick, slate or plaster use masonry bits at low speeds.

When drilling tile or glass use the spear point at low speeds.

A hole saw is great to make large holes, but make sure the drill can handle the extra force or your burn the motor out very quickly.

For metal, a step bit is best used at slow speeds.

The drill bit is what makes the cut or bore into your work. I would suggest spending a little more money and getting a better drill bit. It will last longer and cause less frustration in the long run.

Drill Bit Styles

Twist Bit - The most common to find and is used for general drilling into wood, light metal and plastic.

Brad Point Bit - Great for drilling into wood. There is a point on the end to make sure the bit stays in place when you drill. They have extra wide flutes to help with wood removal.

Spade Bit - Great for drilling bigger holes from 1/4" to 1 1/12". If you need to drill bigger holes use the hole saw.

Adjustable Wood Bit - Not as popular, but drills large holes to adjustable widths from 3/4" to 3"

Auger Bit - Wood boring bit. Large wide flutes to help with wood removal.

Hole Saw - Large wood boring and light metal ranging from 1/2" to 6"

Forstner Bit - Boring flat bottom holes into wood. Great for drilling a flat hole and not going through the whole wood.

Drill Saw Bit - Cuts irregular contours and holes in wood or metal.

CounterBore, Countersink - The bit can be changed and is great for making the top of the hole a little wider so when you put the screw in, it is flush with the top of the board.

Installer Bit - Has a hole in the head and is used for pulling wire through the hole. Used for installing phone wire, TV cable, security wire and cat 5.

Left Hand Bit - For extraction stripped or broken right handed screws or bolts.

Step Bit - Drilling in steel, copper, brass, plastic, aluminum and wood.

Glass/Tile Bit - Used for drilling into glass or tile.

Masonry Bit - Used to drill into concrete or masonry. This is used with a hammer drill or rotary drill.

Scaling Chisel - Used to chip away at masonry and is primarily used in a rotary drill.

Using and Installing New Drill Bit Sets

With so many things to do around the family home you will not always be able to pay a technician to do everything. So at some point in time you must take it upon yourself to do some of the daily chores yourself. One particular thing that you will inevitably must do is insert and use drill bit sets. They are not at all that difficult to insert and use, a little information will see you through.

Drill Bit Sharpener

Drill bits are the penetration metals that are placed at the tip of a drill. Such drill bits are used for the different holes that need to be drilled through wood or walls. Without them you can never be able to use a drill for the purpose for which you sought it for. They are used to drill holes through wood when installing new door handles and also used for drilling holes when installing fixtures on walls like television stands.

Drill Bit Sharpener

The most important thing is to choose the right bit. This is critical because the different bits are made according to the nail size or screw which you intend to use when affixing something to wood or brick walls. So you must definitely choose a bit that goes hand in hand with the size of nail or screw you are going to use.

Go with the size of screw or nail to the hardware store and choose a bit size that will drill a hole that fits either the screw or the nail properly. It must also be able to hold the screw whilst you drill it in. Next thing is to fit the bit into the drill. There is always an unlock button that you should use to unlatch the insertion point of the bit. By pressing on it you should to unlock it and insert your screw or nail.

After this all you do is insert the bit into the head of the drill and lock it by pressing the unlock button again. And there you have it, a drill ready for the perfect job.

Drill Maintenance

The drill machine is probably one of the most important pieces of equipment a person can have in their own household emergency construction kit. However even if this machine is very important and it yields the best results that you ever expected if you do not take care of your machine then it will simply not offer the same results ever again and you will find yourself looking for a professional new machine that will bring you the results the old one did.

Drill Bit Sharpener

The answer to this small problem is simply maintenance. By taking care of your drills you can ensure the survival of your drilling machine for a very ling time to come... that is of course if you do not have an electrical short off course that will fry your machine anyway.

Drill Bit Sharpener

You can maintain a great condition for your drills if yo sharpen them regularly. You can take your drills to be sharpened at any hardware store or if you own a drill sharpener or grinder already, then you know exactly what are the full properties of this beneficial machine. If you keep your drill bits sharp then you will have the ability to drill with the greatest effect and with maximum efficiency.

Off course even while you are sharpening your drill bits you must be sure that you do not affect the overall structure of the drill bits by pressing too hard and sharpening them in a very bad way where you take away most of the material available and actually shorten the drill bits and at the same time you have to take great care when working with angle sharpening. You have to make sure that the angles will stay the same and only get sharper without modifying their pitch. If the angles are not correct anymore then the drill bits will simply not have the same efficiency that they had before.

Another very important aspect you have to take into consideration when speaking of drill maintenance is corrosion. If you want to be able to use your drill bits for a long time to come then you better make sure that they are kept out of humidity or out of the reach of any water source.

The main enemy or metal is rust and I do assure you that there are not drills today that do not contain metal so be sure to keep them covered at all times or encased or locked away where water will not reach and that way they are safe.
With these main tips in mind you will have no problems being able to successfully maintain your drill bits.
