Key information

Green tools are our general-use tools. These have either been demonstrated or explained in your New Member Induction, or are safe for use after a demonstration by a technician. Always ask a member of staff before using any green tools for the first time, or if you are not sure how to use these safely.

A drill driver is an extremely use­ful tool in most pro­jects. It is used for mak­ing round holes or driv­ing fasten­ers, like screws, to con­struct work­pieces. It can be fit­ted with either a drill bit or a driver bit to per­form either operation. 

Drills are com­monly used in wood­work­ing, metal­work­ing and con­struc­tion. They have two speed set­tings — the lower-speed set­ting is for screw driv­ing. It also has a torque selec­tion ring near the chuck. All of our drill drivers are battery-operated.

Please note

Fasten­ings on work­pieces that require high­er torque will need an impact driver.

What can I use this tool for?

Bor­ing holes in work­pieces at dif­fer­ent sizes, and driv­ing screws, bolts and oth­er fasten­ers into a vari­ety of materials.
