Black & Decker Drill Drivers - Some DIY Safety Tips

Power appliances have changed the way in which we undertake our day-to-day DIY work and cordless drill drivers have become an essential component of all DIY tool kits. Drills have proven to be invaluable for most maintenance and repair tasks around the house and no power tool collection is complete without one.

The Hammer Drill is not only able to provide a rotary motion but may also apply a small amount of hammer action to the drill bit, as though someone was tapping the back of the drill while the bit was spinning. This enables the drill to work through masonry. A Hammer Drill will typically have the ability to switch the hammer action off and on as required. You will find that motor wattages start around 600w for this type of drill and a good idea is to look at machines with around a 700w motor, these will enable you to drill masonry with up to a 16mm bit. This type of drill is a good all rounder for the home.

Drills come in three distinct handle styles. The most popular cordless models have the T-handle style where the handle is placed close to the middle. The T-handle style distributes the weight for better balance and less wrist strain. Some people still prefer the more traditional pistol-grip style. The third style is the right-angle version, manufactured for use where space is at a premium.

The chuck is the attachment where the bit is inserted, having jaws that grip the bit. Drills come in 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2" sizes. This measurement is the chuck size and indicates the shaft diameter of the bits and accessories that will fit the drill. Chucks can be keyed (the jaws are tightened or loosened with a key) or keyless (the chuck might be tightened or loosened by hand). Keyless chucks offer two major benefits. If you have ever misplaced or lost a chuck key, you already know one of them. A keyless chuck will also allow bits to be changed more quickly. A real plus when you need to change from a drill bit to a screwdriver bit repeatedly or if you happen to be wearing gloves on the job. You can change the chuck in some keyless models with only one hand because the shaft locks when the trigger is off. In most models, however, you have to use both hands to turn the chuck in opposite directions. While you're in the shop change the bit on different drill drivers to see what style of keyless chuck you prefer.

All cordless drill drivers come with a battery charger, with recharge times ranging from 15 minutes to three hours. But faster isn't necessarily better. A contractor might depend on fast recharges, but slower recharging isn't usually a concern at home, especially if you have two batteries. What's more, there are drawbacks to fast charging. A speedy recharge might damage a battery by generating excessive heat, unless it's a specially manufactured unit. If you want a speedy recharge, go with a tool from Makita, Hitachi or Panasonic, whose "smart" chargers are equipped with temperature sensors and feedback circuitry that protect batteries. These units provide a charge in as little as nine minutes without battery damage.

If a Li-ion battery is stored with too low a charge, there is a risk of allowing the charge to drop below the battery's low-voltage threshold, resulting in an unrecoverable dead battery. Once the charge has dropped to this level, recharging it might be dangerous. Some batteries therefore feature an internal safety circuit which will stop charging in this state, and the battery will be for all practical purposes dead. In circumstances where a second Li-ion battery is available for a given device, it is recommended that the unused battery be discharged to 40% and placed in the refrigerator to prolong its shelf life. While the battery might be used or charged immediately, some Li-ion batteries will provide more energy when brought to room temperature.

An electric or portable (battery powered) drill can be a scary thing. But they aren’t hard to use. The most common drill drivers come in a pistol shape, making them easy to hold and use. The drill has a trigger you squeeze in order to make the drill bit turn. Sometimes there is also a safety button located on the pistol handle that has to be pressed at the same time you squeeze the trigger in order to make the drill bit turn. The battery pack is usually inserted into a docking station on the bottom of the pistol handle. Between uses the battery pack is charged in another docking station which is connected to an electrical outlet.

There will be occasions when you have to drill a hole at an angle. In these cases drill carefully. You might draw a pencil line on the material noting the angle and then try to follow that pencil guide as you drill. There are also angle guides you might use. Place these over the spot you want drilled with the guide calibrated at the correct angle. Insert the drill bit into the guide and drill away. If you are drilling completely through the material when the drill bit begins to exit out the other side of the material be careful, especially with wood. The drill bit exiting the wood might splinter the wood around the exit point. If it will show, you might want to sand it smooth. Better yet stop the splintering by covering the exit point with masking or duct tape. The tape will decrease if not stop the splintering.

Usually referred to as twist drill bits, twist bits are probably the most common drilling tools used by the handyman with either a hand or electric drill. The front edges cut the material and the spirals along the length remove the debris from the hole and tend to keep the bit straight. They might be used on timber, metal, plastics and similar materials. Most twist bits are made from either High Speed Steel (HSS) or Carbon Steel. High Speed Steel bits are suitable for drilling most types of material. When drilling metal the HSS stands up to the high temperatures. Carbon steel bits are specially ground for drilling wood and should not be used for drilling metals as they tend to be more brittle and less flexible than HSS bits.

DIY Safety tips:

New appliances have to be supplied with a plug that is fused in accordance with manufacturers' instructions. Always follow manufacturers' recommendations for fuses, or seek expert advice. Check older appliances such as electric blankets and Christmas tree lights.
Store tools in a safe place, out of the way of children and pets. Keep them in a box or a rack. When using knives, always cut away from you. Use a baton as a guide and run a sharp knife along the edge of it. Always store knives securely.

Always keep a chemical fire extinguisher in the house. Never use water to put out a fire in an electrical appliance. Gas and electrical work is best left to a registered professional.

Never overload a socket with too numerous plugs or adaptors. Do not allow cables and flexes to become kinked or frayed. Make sure plugs are undamaged and tightly closed with no loose connections and that cord grips are tightened. Ensure plugs are correctly fused. Fuses protect cables and flexes from the effects of overheating caused by short circuits and overload.

Keep children and pets away from the work area. Store all tools and materials out of their reach. Many products are toxic.
