Be Safe when DIYing

More and more companies are producing cordless power tools due to the new technology available. Some of the leading cordless power tool brands are Makita, DeWalt, Hitachi and Bosch. Much of the developments surrounding cordless power drill drivers are to do with the battery packs that cordless power tools need to function. As battery pack, technology has improved over the last few years most manufacturers now offer a wide range of battery packs including Li-Ion, Ni-MH and Ni-Cad packs.

The Hammer Drill is not only able to provide a rotary motion but might 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 might typically have the ability to switch the hammer action off and on as required. You might 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 might enable you to drill masonry with up to a 16mm bit. This type of drill is a good all rounder for the home.

Any tool might feel like an extension of your hand. The tool may feel great while standing in the store aisle but try to imagine what it might feel like after a few hours of use. While in the shop make sure all controls are convenient, and check to see if the forward/reverse and high/low speed switches in particular are easy to use.

Factors such as temperature, the material being drilled, whether the drilling is nonstop or intermittent, and the whether the battery is at full charge or not might affect a cordless drill driver's battery charge. The standard time required to charge a battery pack might vary from one hour to overnight, depending on the type of tool and charger. Recharge when the drop in performance and power is noticeable. Don't wait until the tool quits working to recharge the battery.

Lithium ion batteries are commonly utilized in consumer electronics and tools such as drill drivers. They are currently one of the most popular types of battery for portable electronics, with one of the best energy-to-weight ratios, no memory effect, and a slow loss of charge when not in use. In addition to uses for consumer electronics, lithium-ion batteries are growing in popularity for defence, automotive, and aerospace applications due to their high energy density. However certain kinds of mistreatment may cause Li-ion batteries to explode.

Check out drill drivers in DIY centres noting their weight and balance. Try out vertical and horizontal drilling positions to see how comfortable you feel. Contoured grips and rubber cushioning on some models make them very comfortable, even when you're applying direct palm pressure. While you're at it, see how easy it is to change clutch settings and operate the keyless chuck.

Drilling a hole isn't rocket science but it may be quite frustrating if you don't know how to do it. For example, if you try to use a wood auger bit to drill a hole in metal you'll ruin the bit, score the metal and possibly injure yourself in the process. Drilling a hole correctly, however, is something you may easily accomplish with a little practice.

To drill a satisfactory hole in any material, the correct type of drill bit must be utilized; it must be utilized correctly and be sharpened as appropriate. Many jobs around the house require a hole of some kind to be drilled - whether it is putting up a shelf, building a cabinet or hanging a light fitting. For basic requirements, a set of high-speed steel twist bits and some masonry bits might probably be sufficient for the average handyman. But for more sophisticated jobs/material, others bits might be required - perhaps larger, or made for a specific material/purpose. Good quality drill bits can be expensive, so take care of them, keep them in a case or box if possible, rather than allowing them to roll around loose in a toolbox where the cutting edges may be damaged.

Usually referred to as twist drill bits, twist bits are probably the most common drilling tools utilized 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 may be utilized 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 might not be utilized 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.
When fixing or checking electrical appliances or connections, always turn off the power and remove the fuse or circuit breaker (MCB). If you're fixing an electrical appliance, turn off the appliance at the plug and pull out the plug. Wear rubber-soled shoes when working on electrics. Cover electrical switches which are broken. Switch off at the mains and remove the fuse to that line, and keep it with you, so even if the power is switched on accidentally the line might stay dead and not you, while you carry out a job. The tapes are a reminder for you and a warning to others. Call in professional help if you do not know what you are doing.

When using a power drill, chose a model that has a plastic non-conducting body. Unplug the drill before fitting parts and remove the chuck key before switching it on. Avoid wearing loose clothing or jewellery, which could get caught in the drill.

Never overload a plug with too a lot of 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.
