Hand tools

[bunn]

 philmophlegm  alleges that I am the only person in the entire world who owns a hand (not powered) drill.    I find this hard to believe.   My hand drill is an ancestral item which belonged to my father, and what's more, to his father.  It is a treasured item in my toolchest. But I am sure I have seen them for sale.   

Surely there are many, many people out there who are possessed of these quiet, controllable, sustainable, ecofriendly and above all, nifty devices? Do YOU have one?  If so please own up in a comment. 

Incidentally,   philmophlegm does a fine line in pretending that he is not a man of his hands.  But yesterday, while I was out, he took tools in hand and disabled the alarm system in his car!    Next time his caralarm malfunctions at dead of night, I'm going to bed rather than racing out in my pyjamas to disconnect the battery.  :-/

When cordless drills first came on the market, they didn't have much to offer. They were heavier, yet less powerful than corded drills. They were also expensive, and the batteries were constantly wearing out. All that has changed, and now a cordless drill is one of the essentials for a home tool kit.
Some of top brands for cordless drills include DEWALT, Craftsman, Black & Decker, and Makita. There are several different types of cordless drills. If a tool is simply labeled a drill, it is intended for spinning a drill bit. If it is called a hammer drill, it will also tap on the drill bit to help it penetrate concrete, tile, or other hard surfaces. A drill/driver can be used for driving screws, and the bit will disengage at a selected resistance level.
