The result of working with a cordless drill
When is the drill reverse switch used?
All electric drills usually have a forward (clockwise rotation) and reverse (counter-clockwise rotation) switch at the top of the trigger. After drilling, to clean the drilled hole, the rotation direction of the drill can be adjusted counter-clockwise. You can also use reverse mode to quickly loosen screws and other fasteners.
Regarding drill holders: Never leave a drill bit behind!
Rechargeable screwdriver drills that have a drill bit holder on their body allow you to save time and ease your work because, with this feature, any drill bit you need will be readily available.
Light up your workplace with LED lights
Some types of cordless drills have an LED light that illuminates your work surface. This feature can increase the safety of your work when drilling or driving screws in dark spaces such as inside closets or under the sink, and it can protect your health and life while working.
What is the function of the clutch in a cordless screwdriver?
In fact, torque control is the feature that separates a cordless drill from a regular drill. Many types of cordless screwdrivers with a manual clutch have a dial that allows you to easily adjust the torque level. Use lower torque for softer materials such as plaster walls or when, for example, you want to control the depth of a screw in the wall. Use more torque for harder woods or when you want to widen the opening of a hole. Even when you are not using the drill function, you can very easily set the clutch to drill mode.
Cordless drill applications in home repairs
Drilling: A cordless drill is used to create holes in a variety of surfaces, including wood, metal, plastic, and stone. This tool is used to install signs, hangers, cabinets, and other items at home.
Screwdriving: A cordless drill also functions as a screwdriver. It is used to tighten and loosen screws on all types of surfaces. For example, it can be used to install mirrors, shelves, and other household items.

Abrasion and derusting: Using special attachments, the cordless drill can be used for deburring and derusting metal surfaces. This function is helpful in repairing household appliances.
Drilling and screwing simultaneously: Some rechargeable drills have the capability to drill and screw at the same time. This feature is very useful for installing devices that require both drilling and screwing.
Cordless drill applications in industrial and construction works:
Drilling and screwing hard surfaces: Industrial cordless drills have more power and can be used for drilling and screwing into hard surfaces such as concrete, stone, and metal. This tool is used for construction, civil, and industrial works.
Drilling and screwing large surfaces: Some industrial cordless drills have the capability to drill and screw into large surfaces. This feature is used for tasks such as installing advertisement boards and lighting fixtures.
High-speed drilling and screwing: Some industrial cordless drills offer high-speed drilling and screwing capabilities. This feature is used for tasks such as cable and wire installation.
Angled drilling and screwing: Some industrial cordless drills have the capability for angled drilling and screwing. This feature is used for work such as installing pipes and facilities.
Duct installation: A cordless drill can be used to install electrical and telecommunication ducts in buildings. Due to the ability to adjust speed and power, this tool can create holes of desired size and depth in walls, which is very efficient for installing ducts.
