Your material is well chosen, well organized, clearly presented, concise and so clearly pronounced that I can hear every word! Keep up the good work. I look forward to all your videos.

      Well, I am not a physics teacher, but I am a mechanical engineer and there isn’t anything I can’t figure out on my own. All these people praising this lady should have noticed she cheated. There was a countersink on the wood with the screw with the higher torque setting so yes, screw will sit flush. I highly doubt there is one thing I could learn from this lady. I was just here for the different drill brands.

After I found Leah, I can now do new things correctly the first time! If I have a pro come to do a bigger job, they almost always ask if my husband has a [whatever tool they are missing] and I say no he doesn’t, but I do! As a result, my grown daughters are not afraid to tackle projects when they need too, either! Thanks for the great instruction, Leah!

  • @johntank7560
    @johntank7560 6 лет назад +4

    Great video. I own several drills and from my experience get the lithium ion vs Nicad since Nicad has a memory effect meaning that if you charge the nicad without fully discharging it will have a shorter lifespan. Lithium does not have that problem. For beginners make sure the drill has a level on the rear so you can drill screws (or holes) straight into the wood. A level on top will also help drilling screws straight vertically. Having a torque setting is very helpful as Jane stated it will drive the screw flush with the wood. Also consider when buying a drill that it will be helpful if the same battery for the drill can fit other tools you may need in the future. My drill's battery fits my impact driver, reciprocating saw, angle grinder, impact wrench, etc. This way you only need to buy one replacement battery for all the tools, which will save you money rather than buying a battery for each tool. Brushless drill are not worth it if you plan on using your drill every now and then.

    I would add that as well as looking at the voltage of the drill, it is important to look at the amp-hour capacity (Ahr) of the battery, the larger the Ahr the longer time the drill will run between needing to be recharged. Typically many drill batteries are in the range 1.2 to 4.0 Ahr.

    Thank you Leah for explaining the purpose of the torque option. I use my husband's drill a lot for DIY projects but never understood what the numbers on the dial were for or the 1 and 2 and when I asked him, he didn't seem to have an answer either! You are always my go-to when in doubt.

    • @prolifeunity
      @prolifeunity 5 лет назад

      She did not explain that correctly. You are in serious trouble if you watch her videos for advice.
      This is what I wrote to her:
      I hate to be the bearer of bad news. As the saying goes, "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing."
      NiCd batteries are ancient technology. Nobody is selling those anymore. The two competing techs are NiMh and lithium ion. There is no quick explanation. Check here - www.thesawguy.com/lithium-ion-vs-nimh/
      The drill with the "handle" is called a Hammer Drill. It's used for concrete.
      You were way off on the "torque" explanation. Number 1 is the torque setting that you use for screws. Your clutch setting was incorrect. That's why it was buzzing/clicking at the end. The only reason the screw went further on number 2 was because the drill was spinning faster. The 2 setting is used for drilling/driving. Check here - www.popularmechanics.com/home/tools/how-to/g2661/how-to-adjust-a-drill-driver/
      Brushed vs brushless motors. Definitely brushless! The only downside is cost. Benefits? Weight, size, speed, longevity and so on. Brushless is the future, today. See here - www.protoolreviews.com/news/brushed-vs-brushless-motors/18990/
      I can see you are interested in this stuff, but you should refrain from "teaching" until you have actually used the products you are showing people, and/or, have at least done a couple internet searches!

    As you mentioned, it is a great idea for someone shopping for a drill today get in the store to really get a feel for the different manufacturers and their different models. I bought a Hitachi drill 20v last year, due to my wife working in Hitachi IT and got a low price for it. one of the worst drill I've ever owned. No torque, Rpms weren't high enough. I ended up trading up to a Dewalt DCD996b. Love that drill...solid built, sturdy and a work horse. It has 3 speeds and very impressed with the control on speed 1 and it's torque. To each it own, but it's always a good thing to get in the store to handle the different brands and their models

    Ni-Cd also tend to suffer from the memory effect and should be fully drained periodically. Love your videos, maybe consider a comparison between an impact driver and a power screwdriver?

    I actually prefer the NiCad battery packs due to the ability to rebuild or replacing the individual cells inside the battery pack and it's more economical to rebuild them yourself rather than buying a new one. There are plenty of videos showing how to rebuild any battery pack.

    I was just using my cordless drill in my jewelry studio, and decided I should know more about the settings... what are those numbers around the chuck, and what's the difference between 1 and 2 speeds? I came here thinking, Leah will have the answers, and you did! I only discovered you last night, and I'm already hooked! Thank you, Leah, for all you teach and share. I hope the lucky winners are enjoying their prizes.

    I use Ryobi. I love that Ryobi has updated their drill line a lot over the years. My oldest drills are still in use til this day. Nothing feels better than being able to chuck up four different drills for a project and not have to re-chuck or misplace bits. My goto drill is Ryobi's quiet strike impact as I can continue projects late into the night and not wake up my family.
    Leah, can you talk about driver bits? I've always steered clear of Philips and used only square drive. Nowadays the trend is to use torx, I miss being able to find square drive screws at Home Depot. I now have to order my screws from Woodcraft's website. They're 5lbs bucket or random screws is the best deal ever.

Wish more people would do the same when it came to their video's. I've been in construction for many years and have used many different tools but, I've learned more as to why we do it a certain way by watching your video's. Please don't change a thing. Your videos are perfect.

    • @douglasmerrill4140

      Nice eye, I caught this as well and the term for it is countersinking. You drill a hole the size of the head on the screw so that when you screw it in on a low torque setting it is flush.

      @joemartin278 4 года назад +1

      I noticed it to, very misleading, when she drives the first screw, both screws are set the same. But when she goes to screw in the second one, it’s countersunk. Disingenuous at best. I’m disappointed, I wonder what else she isn’t being forthcoming with in her videos.

    Didn't even know there were brushless drills. In my experience with cordless drills the batteries usually go south before anything else. Sometimes it is cheaper to buy a whole new kit with drill and battery than a battery pack or even fix the pack. Of course my experience is with DIY level drills and not full blown professional models.
