Homier Cordless Drills Buyers Guide
Although we love our trusty corded tools, the cordless
options on the market today allow you increased flexibility and
portability, not to mention their ease of use. These handy power tools
allow everyone from skilled professionals to novices just graduating
from the screwdriver to experience the greatness of cordless-ness. Say
goodbye to extension cords with these guys!
Voltage:
One of the biggest decisions you have to make when choosing a cordless
drill is what voltage to buy. While heavy duty models with higher
voltage deliver lots of torque and longer running time, they can often
be more expensive than lower voltage options. High voltage units are
best for heavy duty work, or for just impressing others with the sheer
size and power of your drill. Lower voltage models boast a lighter
weight and a lower price tag, although some torque is lost with these
models. Whether you choose a high voltage model such as and 18 volt or
24 volt or a lower voltage model such as a 12 volt or 9.5 volt,
whatever drill you choose you will be able to enjoy the benefits of
owning a power tool that will be useful for all kinds of jobs and enjoy
the freedom of being portable and cordless.
Features:
Adjustable Clutch
One of the greatest benefits to a cordless drill that corded models can
only dream about is an adjustable clutch. This indexed ring just behind
the chuck of the drill allows you to adjust the torque to the drill
bit. This adjustment allows your drill to not only drill but also
function as a driver as well as a drilling tool as well as allow you to
prevent stripping or snapping screws.
Trigger Operated Variable Speed Control
Trigger Operated Variable Speed Control
Another great feature in the cordless drill is the trigger operated
variable speed control. By having a transmission on your drill, you can
now choose to turn at a low speed with a lot of torque or a high speed
with less torque all by adjusting the pressure on the trigger.
Accessories
Cordless drills also offer versatility in the fact that thousands of
accessories are available to help make any job a snap. Some of the most
popular are right angle attachments for getting in those hard to reach
spaces like the back of cabinets and quick change bits that allow you
to swap between the various screwdriver bit options. With today’s
accessory options you can turn your favorite cordless drill into
anything from a water pump to a paint mixer. Along with specialized
accessories you can also find great deals on drill bits, screwdriver
bits, and step bits for any application you can think of.
