1st yr almost 2nd yr electrician here. Ive used a multitude of drills and am not new to them but your video helped clear up a lot of questions i didnt think to ask. Thank you for your clear and concise video, brother.
Thanks for the demonstration & explanation. I was using a dewalt Dw 511 model to cut 3 inch holes with a 3 inch hole saw attachment to drill the blue pladtic drums & as the hole saw started to "bite" into the pladtic the whole drilling machine whipped out of my hand & landed almost 3 feet away. Thats when i learnt about getting the right torquein a unit for the job at hand.
Just acquired a small cordless drill/driver with no instructions. Found this a really useful video as I didn't even know how to fit the drill bits. Have subscribed as I'm sure I'll be back.
Thanks tons! I've been using my Dewalt without any instruction for years. I feel very enlightened and now can use this amazing tool the maximum efficiency and safety
Very comprehensive and as a cordless drill/driver user of umpteen years there were at least two things that I need to stop and start doing. As usual a brilliant tutorial. N.
I'm actually glad I watched this video. I was hesitant to watch it because I thought "I already know how to use a cordless drill" but now I know about torque control! Great video demonstration!
Great video, explained to me the torque settings very well. I had no idea my new drill had a torque setting. I thought this new drill was weak and worthless, Now I turned it up to 19 torque, now it drills through wood easily. thanks
Ahhh the musts have cleared..... your talk on the torque (lol) was FANTASTIC. I now understand the torque is basically the muscle power to get the screw in the wood. Thank you. Off to treat myself to a new drill👍.
Wonderful demonstration. As a man I have to confess that I am embarrassed for the reason is I don't know much about tools. Will follow your channel. Thank you for your time in making this video.
Just recently got a drill driver and I couldn't figure out how to insert the drill bit and lock it... Thanks for the video, it helped a lot! Just built a new shelf from Ikea =)
I got my first drill today, like a big kid hehe. Two things i thought i would mention; The torque is important incase you are driving screws into soft wood, if it's too high you will drive it through the wood, so it's important to pick the correct setting, how do you know which is the correct setting? start low and work your way up. Secondly when locking and unlocking to change your bits remember this saying (Lefty Loosey - Righty Tighty) :)
Thank you so much for this. My Dad didn't think a girl needed to learn about DIY, so I'm a clueless adult. This video helped me fit cabinet handles in my bathroom. Awesome!
Yes, my dad always said to find a man, which made me want to find a man even less. It is frustrating, though, getting this stuff and not having a clue. I'd like to hang my drapes with something other than command hooks, but a drill seemed like a better idea than manually screwing everything.
Thank u so much! I couldn’t remember the torque settings and lost manual for my drill. Home project now completed. Thanks again, I cannot believe that I forgot that but been a longtime since i had to use my drill.
Brilliant info! I have been using drills for years, around the house, and never read the manual, or watched a video about it. At least now I will know how to better use my new DeWalt (My Missus bought it for me)...
Thanks, didnt know any of that, i wondered what all those numbers were on my drill and it explains the problems ive been having drilling into brick.. I just thought my 14v Ryobi drill wasn't powerful enough as i use the right drill bits for the job im doing, but always have problems going into house brick and i falsely believed sticking it on its faster speed with hammer was best, not realizing fast means less torque. Great vid, i feel like ive learnt something..
I got myself an 18V De-Walt, the first time I've had a drill with a little more power, thanks for teaching me how it works and reminding me to wear my safety specs, I suppose a safety mask is needed too depending on what you're drilling.
saw on another video a demonstration that said when putting drill bit into chuck, tighten with your hands until tight and then turn in the opposite direction 'loosen' until you hear one click. This seems to be right in practice, but want to make sure i'm not damaging my drill!
I just noticed that this demo was from 2014 - 5 years ago but I hope you're still stopping by to read the comments. Thank you, thank you. LOL Faith Hope and I are the two women who had the exact same problem in that we 'assumed' that we hit metal when the screw didn't go in and then chose a different location. Having watched your demo about the various torque settings, I'm almost sure that this may have been the problem. I have a Dewalt 20 V impact / power drill. My problem is that no matter how tight I turn the chuck after inserting the bit, it keeps loosen itself and upon removing it from the screw, it falls to the floor. What am I doing wrong? Or does the tool have a defect? I'll be checking in to see if there is a response from you. Thank you ever so much.
Once the chuck is fully tightened, it should not come loose, unless the chuck is not tightened fully in the first place- or unless the chuck is faulty. Some keyless chucks have a two part chuck, so you need to hold the rear of the chuck with one hand, whilst tightening the front of the chuck with the other hand, but on more expensive drills the chuck is normally a one piece chuck. Thanks for the comment 👍
Thanks for the excellent explanation may sound like a stupid question.. how much Watt Power did the drill had? How much is enough to make holes through concrete?
While this is definitely the most helpful explanation I've come across-of how the speed and torque settings work, I'm still confused about a few things. To give you some background information, I'm using the DeWalt DCD780 Cordless Drill Driver, 20 volt, which has two speed and 15 torque settings. My first question is: When in drill mode, how do you know which speed to start with? From your demo, where you don't have enough torque to finish boring all the way through that wood with the spade bit, I know that switching to the lower number speed gives you more torque. But let's say you are drilling into something softer, starting OUT on the lower speed (I.e., you have too much torque for the job), how does the drill behave? My second question is twofold: First, when in driver mode, how do you know which speed or gear (in my case, I have two) to begin with? And second, how do you know where to set the torque (in my case, I have 15 settings) at the start of the job? Is one way safer than another for the user and/or the tool? Even though I'm very mechanically inclined, I've never been able to get a good understanding of these things, nor was I ever able to master riding a 10-speed bicycle! (I have mastered driving cars with manual transmissions (or stick shifts as we call them here in America), though, so I'm not completely hopeless.) Thanks!
bamabenz2000 When selecting the drill speed you normally set it according to the size of the drill bit that you are using. If you are using a mixer paddle for paint, holesaws or large diameter drill bits in metal you need to use the slowest speed- which as you say will give the most torque. You may also find that larger diameter drill bits stall when drilling wood, so again you can use the slower speed. The faster speed on the drill can be used when drilling small diameter holes, for example when drilling metal up to about 6mm in diameter (1/4”) or when drilling wood up to about 12mm (1/2”) but it does depend on the drill so that is just a rough guide. When driving in screws it depends on the thread of the screw and also the size, some screws drive in much faster than others depending on the pitch of the thread so really you have to test the screws that you are using to find the best speed. If they go in so fast that you lose control when driving them it’s best to select a slower speed. When determining the torque setting for the screw you can either start with the lowest torque and keep increasing it until you get the screw head flush or just below the surface or you can start with an higher torque and quickly let go of the switch when the screw is at the correct depth, then adjust until you get the correct depth. I hope this helps ;-) Thanks for the comment
Great video and CLEAR demonstration. I have the Dewalt DC725, its the two speed version of the Dewalt in this video. Can I install 1/4" lag bolts into studs with my drill and what would be best setting? Thank you again!!
@@ultimatehandyman I guess I lucked out...I got them in no problem. But will probably purchase an impact driver the next time when they go on sale! Thank you for your work here!!
Really great video. Does the torque have to be the same setting when pulling the screw out as putting it in? Ex: i used 6 torque to drill do i have to use 6 torque to reverse?
Thanks for the fantastic videos. I have a metal drilling machine with high torque and slow speed, the drill is too powerful that I am afraid to use anymore, the first time it twisted and broke a 13mm bit I was using, even though it has a very beefy handle. The second time it nearly broke my wrist, so I stopped using it all together. Any idea how to use such machine safely? Also, are hole-saws supposed to run straight and true? Or are they supposed to have a bit of a wobble on them? Because mine always wobble a bit. Thanks again.
You are welcome. Some powerful drills can be dangerous to use, we have a Bosch drill on site that uses morse taper drill bits. The drill has two handles opposite each other. I have had a few fights with it over the years and always won, but it's best not to use drills that don't have torque control or a safety clutch as they can be dangerous. You could try drilling smaller diameter holes first, then work your way up to the larger diameter bits, this will mean the drill will not struggle drilling the hole which should mean less resistance for the person holding the drill. Some hole saws wobble a bit, it depends on the quality of the hole saw, also some of them have teeth that make the saw wobble a bit during use.
Your demo was good, thank you for that. But having watched your video, there is something I'm still not sure of. I was trying to screw some metal plates to a solid bamboo table top (which had predrilled holes) - with great difficulty. I have a 18v drill, and I haven't used one before. I used a PZ2 bit for the screws (PH2 wasn't such a good fit), and for the most part I was able to drive the screws in. But the drill struggled a lot to get the screws all the way in even in low gear and high torque. I had to put a lot of weight behind the drill. Why was this?
Are the holes in the metal wide enough? If you try putting the screw through the hole in the metal it should go through without catching the sides, if the screw won't go through the hole in the metal this is probably causing the problem.
Excellent, excellent video! Thank you very much for the thorough explanation! As a woman using a drill for the first time, I feel a bit more confident now. All I need is to hang simple curtains. LOL
Hi, maybe you can help. I have an Erbauer Combi Drill (4 ah battery). I am having problems screwing down my squeaky chipboard floor. Even on first gear and 23rd torque setting, using 45mm Floor Tite flooring screws, the screw only goes in at best about 2/3 before the drill refuses to go any further. I've looked under the floor and I note that there is a narrow beam of timber (ply I think, blonde in colour, about an inch thick), which sits atop the joist between the joist and the timber floor. All I can think of is that this may be too dense to penetrate. Before I resort pre drilling all the holes I hoped you might have some insight to help solve the problem. Up till now the Erbauer drills been performing well but on less demanding jobs. Its the kind of job I thought the combi would be OK with. Love the videos, learnt a lot, keep it up. Thanks. Steve Price.
Personally I'd get an impact driver. I prefer those to a drill for any kind of screw/bolt. It doesn't get bogged down like a drill will because its using the impact to drive the screws.
Like snoopy the ace says an impact driver is better, but the drill should drive it in. Perhaps try putting the drill into drill function, so that you don't use the torque selector.
@@snoopytheace4487 Thanks. I thought of that but I just moved into a new house and my limited tool budget went on the combi drill. But maybe I have to buy the impact driver after all. I'll try what UH says below first. Cheers.
Just slightly confused. Are the 3 gears pre-set combinations of speed and torque? If you need to fine tune the combination of speed and torque, do you select a gear and then change the torque setting? Or do you use the variable speed to correspond with your torque setting? Hope the question makes sense.
Thank you. I hung them last night. I was so proud! LOL. The only issue was that I drilled the screw and hit metal, I think. I had to drill again further away. Is there a way to detect that metal in the future?
+Faith hope You can use a magnet, although it's very common to find metal around windows. You can always use a metal drilling drill when you get to the metal bit- or choose another place to drill, like you did.Thanks for the comment
❓Question sir, (or anyone who knows, I’m sure he’s quite busy) @7:46 what was that stuff sprayed before drilling the hole and why is it needed. Thank you. 🙏🤗💞🤗
That is metalworking spray, often called drilling/tapping fluid. It prevents the drill bit or hole saw from overheating, which can cause damage and often render the bit useless. When drilling steel or stainless steel, or other hard metals it is important to use it, or your cutting tools will soon go blunt. Thanks for the comment
Hi, Do you have any experience yet of cycling your 4ah batts and runtime of them? Ive got two brand new 4ah with an angle grinder,and on no load speed it had dropped to two bars on the gauge in just a minute or so.I thought these were supposed to be long lasting! Or do they need a few cycles to hold full charge? I reckon you should do a runtime comparison with the nano li-ions.Should be exactly double. Cheers!
animal79thecat I'm not sure to be honest if you need to charge them a few times to get the best use out of them. The 4ah batteries I have last ages, but I don't have the angle grinder! The grinder does normally use a lot of juice quickly though.
If you're ever caught assembling pallets upon pallets of IKEA furniture, always work your torque setting just high enough to drive the screws until the stop (thus, start very low and then just add 1 until you get the right amount). Too much power will almost always damage the piece you're working on. I have a rather cheap Black&Decker cordless drill and I set my torque to 8, and if it has just a bit not enough torque then the clicking of the torque limiter will act a bit like hammer action, vibrating the screw into its hole. With metal connections, always screw the nuts and bolts by hand to ensure no cross-threading, then tighten to torque.
I have a Milwaukee 12v drill with a hex shank chuck, which is brilliant for assembling furniture. It can save a massive amount of time! Thanks for the comment

@@ultimatehandyman could you share the model name, please? Maybe I should look into it, hate wobbly bit holders sometimes slipping screws 😀 does it also have hammer setting?
Just like he said its 20v at start up without a load. I have 9 dewalt 20v tools and my brothers Makita stuff is just as well even though it's 18v. It's mainly marketing
I cant wait for you to review some XR tools (if and when you get them). Ive seen the nailer one...Id also like to see what you think of the 4ah batteries... Keep up the good work!
Is the 18 volt machine suitable to use for drilling a hole through a concrete wall? The wall is about 4 inches thick. I basically want to put a BT telephone cable through that hole and connect it to the BT master socket.
That torque demonstration was very helpful, thank you.

The second time it nearly broke my wrist, so I stopped using it all together. Any idea how to use such machine safely?
Also, are hole-saws supposed to run straight and true? Or are they supposed to have a bit of a wobble on them? Because mine always wobble a bit. Thanks again.
You are welcome.
Some powerful drills can be dangerous to use, we have a Bosch drill on site that uses morse taper drill bits. The drill has two handles opposite each other. I have had a few fights with it over the years and always won, but it's best not to use drills that don't have torque control or a safety clutch as they can be dangerous.
You could try drilling smaller diameter holes first, then work your way up to the larger diameter bits, this will mean the drill will not struggle drilling the hole which should mean less resistance for the person holding the drill.
Some hole saws wobble a bit, it depends on the quality of the hole saw, also some of them have teeth that make the saw wobble a bit during use.
Thanks :)
Your demo was good, thank you for that. But having watched your video, there is something I'm still not sure of. I was trying to screw some metal plates to a solid bamboo table top (which had predrilled holes) - with great difficulty. I have a 18v drill, and I haven't used one before. I used a PZ2 bit for the screws (PH2 wasn't such a good fit), and for the most part I was able to drive the screws in. But the drill struggled a lot to get the screws all the way in even in low gear and high torque. I had to put a lot of weight behind the drill. Why was this?
Are the holes in the metal wide enough?
If you try putting the screw through the hole in the metal it should go through without catching the sides, if the screw won't go through the hole in the metal this is probably causing the problem.
Thank you. good explanation on torque and resistance settings.
You are welcome
Thanks for the comment
Excellent, excellent video! Thank you very much for the thorough explanation! As a woman using a drill for the first time, I feel a bit more confident now. All I need is to hang simple curtains. LOL
+Faith hope
You are welcome.
Good luck with the curtains ;-)
Thanks UH - a good, clarifying demo!
You are welcome
Thanks for the comment
That was incredibly useful thank you. I have asked tradesmen with years of experience what the numbers mean and they didn't know.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the comment
Thank you so much! Really needed this.

Hi, maybe you can help. I have an Erbauer Combi Drill (4 ah battery). I am having problems screwing down my squeaky chipboard floor. Even on first gear and 23rd torque setting, using 45mm Floor Tite flooring screws, the screw only goes in at best about 2/3 before the drill refuses to go any further. I've looked under the floor and I note that there is a narrow beam of timber (ply I think, blonde in colour, about an inch thick), which sits atop the joist between the joist and the timber floor. All I can think of is that this may be too dense to penetrate. Before I resort pre drilling all the holes I hoped you might have some insight to help solve the problem. Up till now the Erbauer drills been performing well but on less demanding jobs. Its the kind of job I thought the combi would be OK with. Love the videos, learnt a lot, keep it up. Thanks. Steve Price.
Personally I'd get an impact driver. I prefer those to a drill for any kind of screw/bolt. It doesn't get bogged down like a drill will because its using the impact to drive the screws.
Like snoopy the ace says an impact driver is better, but the drill should drive it in. Perhaps try putting the drill into drill function, so that you don't use the torque selector.
@@snoopytheace4487 Thanks. I thought of that but I just moved into a new house and my limited tool budget went on the combi drill. But maybe I have to buy the impact driver after all. I'll try what UH says below first. Cheers.
@@ultimatehandyman Yes, I'll try that. Thanks.
Thank you, I am now much more familiar with how to start using my new drill!
You are welcome
Thanks for the comment
Thanks alot. I've now learn this about my drill, even tho it's now damaged. I will also recommend on not covering the fan with y'alls hand.
Thanks for the comment 👍
Good tips! Thank you for sharing!
Just slightly confused. Are the 3 gears pre-set combinations of speed and torque? If you need to fine tune the combination of speed and torque, do you select a gear and then change the torque setting? Or do you use the variable speed to correspond with your torque setting? Hope the question makes sense.
No, you have to adjust the speed and the torque separately using a combination of the gears and the torque selector ring.
Thanks for the comment ;-)
Another excellent video. Thanks chuck :)
You are welcome ;-)
Easy to follow and understand, thank you.
You are welcome
Thanks for the comment 😉
Thanks for this. I now understand my drill better!
You are welcome
Thanks for the comment
this is so satisfying to watch
Thanks for the comment
The credibility of the information you provided was amplified by your accent. Well done sir.
Thanks for the comment
Thank you. I hung them last night. I was so proud! LOL. The only issue was that I drilled the screw and hit metal, I think. I had to drill again further away. Is there a way to detect that metal in the future?
+Faith hope You can use a magnet, although it's very common to find metal around windows. You can always use a metal drilling drill when you get to the metal bit- or choose another place to drill, like you did.Thanks for the comment
❓Question sir, (or anyone who knows, I’m sure he’s quite busy) @7:46 what was that stuff sprayed before drilling the hole and why is it needed. Thank you. 🙏🤗💞🤗
That is metalworking spray, often called drilling/tapping fluid. It prevents the drill bit or hole saw from overheating, which can cause damage and often render the bit useless. When drilling steel or stainless steel, or other hard metals it is important to use it, or your cutting tools will soon go blunt.
Thanks for the comment
Ultimate Handyman - 🙏Thank you! I will be sure to get some. 💝
VERY VERY HELPFUL THANKS

Hi,
Do you have any experience yet of cycling your 4ah batts and runtime of them?
Ive got two brand new 4ah with an angle grinder,and on no load speed it had dropped to two bars on the gauge in just a minute or so.I thought these were supposed to be long lasting! Or do they need a few cycles to hold full charge?
I reckon you should do a runtime comparison with the nano li-ions.Should be exactly double.
Cheers!

I'm not sure to be honest if you need to charge them a few times to get the best use out of them. The 4ah batteries I have last ages, but I don't have the angle grinder! The grinder does normally use a lot of juice quickly though.
***** Ok,thankyou for your reply.
If you're ever caught assembling pallets upon pallets of IKEA furniture, always work your torque setting just high enough to drive the screws until the stop (thus, start very low and then just add 1 until you get the right amount). Too much power will almost always damage the piece you're working on. I have a rather cheap Black&Decker cordless drill and I set my torque to 8, and if it has just a bit not enough torque then the clicking of the torque limiter will act a bit like hammer action, vibrating the screw into its hole. With metal connections, always screw the nuts and bolts by hand to ensure no cross-threading, then tighten to torque.
I have a Milwaukee 12v drill with a hex shank chuck, which is brilliant for assembling furniture. It can save a massive amount of time!
Thanks for the comment
@@ultimatehandyman could you share the model name, please? Maybe I should look into it, hate wobbly bit holders sometimes slipping screws 😀 does it also have hammer setting?
Thank you. This video has helped me so much. Would you recommend a 18v drill or a 20v drill?
You are welcome.
18v drills in the UK are often marketed as 20v in the USA.
An 18v drill will be fine for most people ;-)
Just like he said its 20v at start up without a load. I have 9 dewalt 20v tools and my brothers Makita stuff is just as well even though it's 18v. It's mainly marketing
Thanks for the Great Information
You are welcome
Thanks for the comment
I cant wait for you to review some XR tools (if and when you get them).
Ive seen the nailer one...Id also like to see what you think of the 4ah batteries...
Keep up the good work!
I'll see about getting some XR tools in future. The 4ah batteries are awesome, I guess the 5ah is better still!
Thanks for the comment
wow good job man it was very helpful
Thanks for the comment ;-)
Excellent especially the explanation on torque? settings I was wondered what them number meant now I know,
Thanks for the comment
Is the 18 volt machine suitable to use for drilling a hole through a concrete wall? The wall is about 4 inches thick. I basically want to put a BT telephone cable through that hole and connect it to the BT master socket.
It will do it, but a SDS machine would be much easier and quicker. You could do it with a 18v combination drill though if needed.
Thanks a million bro helped me so much
