What Are the Types of Drills<\/h2>\nThere are many different types and sizes of electric drills, and each is designed for a specific purpose. The most common type of drill is the handheld drill, which is used for many tasks in the home, workshop, or on the job site.<\/p>\n
There are also cordless drills<\/a>, which are becoming more popular as they offer the convenience of not having to be tethered to a power outlet.<\/p>\n
Required Personal Protective Equipment<\/h2>\nLike any tool, the electric drill is no exception and must be treated with precautions and personal protective equipment:<\/p>\n
\n- Protective goggles or a plastic mask<\/li>\n
- Earplugs or ear defenders<\/li>\n
- Gloves with protection against electricity<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

What the Numbers on the Packaging of the Drill Mean<\/h2>\n
When shopping for a power drill,<\/a> you may notice that some models have a number attached to their names. For example, you might see a “12-volt<\/a> drill” or a “24-volt drill.” But what do these numbers mean?<\/p>\n
In short, they indicate the maximum power output of the drill. The higher the number, the more powerful the drill. For most home projects, a 12-volt drill should be plenty of power. But if you’re working on something more challenging, like drilling through rock, you’ll need a more powerful drill.
\nOf course, more power comes with some trade-offs. More powerful drills<\/a> are usually heavier and more expensive. So if you don’t need the extra power, it’s probably not worth the extra money.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\nWhat Do Mean Numbers on a Drill?<\/h2>\nNewcomers to the drill, often wonder what the drill numbers mean. The answer to this question is much easier than it seems.
\nThe numbers on the drill stand for a specific number of revolutions and are divided by gradation.<\/p>\n
Some manufacturers specify numbers 1, 2, 3, etc. (like the gears in a car) which hide specific revolutions or they indicate the revolutions directly. Often the numbers can mean thousands or hundreds of revolutions. It all depends on the type of drill and its manufacturer. See the manual for more details.<\/p>\n
The exact deciphering of the numbers is in the manual of the drill. I recommend you in any case to read the manual in detail before use to prolong the life of the drill and to protect yourself.<\/p>\n
