How to Buy a Power Drill

"Hi this is Nigel Gregory with Blue Griffin Handyman. Today we're going to show you how to buy a drill. There's all different types of models and sizes and amp-ages and corded, un-corded. You want to pick a drill that's best for your application. So if you're not going to use it much, and you're going to use it light-duty maybe a small cordless one would work best for you. If you're going to be doing some heavy-duty jobs then you might want to get something that's a little more upper-end and bigger, has a bigger chuck and a larger battery, maybe a 24-volt. But I like to use ones that are corded because you never run out of battery power and you don't have to charge up other batteries. But there's definitely and advantage to having the battery ones too. But this would make a good backup too if you prefer using the battery ones. But the best thing to do, this is just a standard drill right here. It's classic, standard, has a key-less chuck. This is more of a new feature on some of these standard drills. And it has the switch to go forward and reverse, and the trigger itself and of course, the cord. But you really need to consider how much you're going to use it and how much you want to spend, what's in your budget. This one I think cost sixty dollars at the local hardware store and of course they go from there. You can get one that's a 24-volt and high-powered and you can use all day. So again, depending on your situation and how much you're going to use it it depends on what kind of drill you want to look for. And that's how to buy a power drill. Thank you."
