I wished you talked about the settings more.
It's 3:46 am and I'm learning all about drills on RUclips
I'm watching this at 3:46 am too!!
I'm doing that right now, except it's 3:34 AM. Glad I'm not the only one
2:48 am 😴
3:19
Whoa, this is freaky... Looked at this comment at exactly 3:46am too! 😳
Tommy! I am 75 years old and have probably been using drills longer than you've been alive; however, you taught me something today! The proper way to secure a drill in the new drill motors was probably in the owners manual - but. I'm so smart, I didn't read it! I had no idea that actuallt torqueing it in was better than the "quick grab and trigger" method. Much obliged, young fellow. Excellent presentation. 🤠
Pete, thanks so much for the kind comment! I'm more than sure that you could teach me more than I could teach you, but I'm glad you learned something new from the video!
How does 77 feel? Hope all is well!
"77" feels: a. Happy that you made it that far, and b, sad that you cannot do what you used to do. @@MrCaribe65
I used to think, I have a drill, why bother with an Impact driver. Then yesterday, I put up a shed, with an impact driver........ WHAT A DIFFERENCE!.. Worth every single penny
It really is amazing how much of a difference an impact driver makes
@@OutoftheWoodwork Why can't they make it just one drill+impact driver into one?

I've prewatched your video and prefound it very informative.
🤣 now you're getting it
And as one of my favourite comedians would say "presuck my genital situation". To be clear, I'm not telling you to do that. I think your comment is funny.
Surely you mean it was very "performative lol
@@travistyson2011 xD
I'm prepared to say that my previous experience has predetermined my reaction to grammatical nitpicking... that interlude was preposterous! 😂
I realised recently that I've been stomping through my ignorance through sheer dumb luck and a bit of DIY experience, so I started looking for a 'back-to-basics' video on drilling. This is one of the best that I've found. It's really good. Subbed.
That means a lot, Adrian...thanks
I’m blown away at how informative and effective this video is. All with great pacing, humor and solid production?? Bravo! This is really making me feel better about what I can do with my new drill & impact driver!
My home depot has a sale on dewalt drill sets right now (at the time of writing this) for like $150. It comes with a drill, an impact, a charger, and 2 1.5 AH batteries. I'm pretty happy with my purchase.
THANK YOU!! for explaining “pre-drilling”!!! My life is complete now!!
For many years I drilled holes into concrete using a regular drill. Never needed a lot of holes in concrete, but always didn't look forward to that task. I knew about hammer drills but come on, how much faster could they really be? Well I had a fair amount of concrete to drill and it was kicking my butt so I broke down and bought a hammer drill. Holy crap, couple minutes vs 30-60 minutes.
The pre-drilling bit really got me!
AWESOME VIDEO!!!
Bro this video has taught me so much that I didn't know but wondered about. Being retired from the military and now newly resigned from the post office with a fairly new home I have a ton of things I want to do. I've had a drill for YEARS but never really had to use it to it's full potential until now. This video has taken me to another level!!!!
THANKS A BUNCH!!!
Can't thank you enough! I decided to buy a cordless drill, found one with an impact included in the "kit" and went with it... not knowing what the heck the impact was for! Hey, the sale price was great! I do my utmost to learn something new every day... thanks for educating me today! :)

Excellent video, especially for beginner DIYers. Please make more of these especially for countries where wood is less often used and brick/concrete is far more common.
Thanks!
Been using these drills for a long time, never tightened the
chuck to hear clicks no wonder some bits came loose.
Thks for the great info.
DeWalt's decision to put torque, drill and hammer all on a single collar is the reason I buy Makita. I regularly go from drilling to screwdriving. I do not want to be twisting that collar between every operation. Makita's approach of a torque collar and a separate drill/drive/hammer lever is a far superior solution.
I started out with an entry level 18v drill + driver 2 piece kit, and later on added a brushless 18v hammer drill (same brand, better model). Having 3 items means less changing of bits when doing drilling, countersinking, and driving. Really saves time and faffing about. And if you stay in one ecosystem, the batteries are interchangeable too.
This is one of my all time favourite RUclips videos, purely for the section on defining the meaning of "pre". I have this argument constantly, and can now send a link to this for any future conversations. In fact, just by typing this comment I'm already pre-drilling (and pre-ordering, pre-planning, pre-purchasing and most other pre-words)!
I’ve been using these tools for eighteen years- and I definitely learned a thing or two here. Thank you for your content!
I laughed so hard at the pre-drilling comment. SO TRUE!
I hear it all the time! I'm glad somebody else gets it!
Me too! I hate people that:
Preburp their baby
Preboard planes
Preheat a skillet
Do they even English?!
Pre-drilling means to drill a hole before you put the screw. You dont always do that, often you just screw it in and let it make its own hole. Drilling is when you need a hole for other things than a screw. Pre-drilling is a useful word, if i were to instruct someone i just say "remember pre-drilling here" instead of "remember to drill holes first before you put screws here". Its called pre-drilling because it is followed by screwing, a very useful word that simplifies our language. In mechanical production we use pre-drilling too, and a lot, thats were the word came from, we always drill a smaller hole before using a large diameter drillbit, or else the large drillbit will wobble so much that the hole get the wrong diameter and often the drillbit will break from sideways forces. Pre-drilling is also used when working on the inner dia in a lathe. Youre just clueless and got no real life experience, its as simple as that.
@@pflaffik Do you prestretch before a workout? No you just stretch. Likewise, you drill pilot holes before you screw. You just DRILL. There is no predrill.
@@jazzamoartlestrade1458 don't know about you, but where I'm from a lot of people have pre drinks before going out lol.
Thank you for the excellent information! I just bought a hammer drill for a project and want to make sure I use it correctly. As a bonus, I learned a lot more about my regular drill. Love to DIY, but still very much a novice; really appreciate videos like yours. Thanks also for a good prelaugh. LOL
😂 Glad you found it helpful!
Since retiring and having a little time on my hands for hobbies, I've watched hundreds of RUclips videos. I seldom make comments. But your bit on "pre-drilling" requires me to commend you on the funniest video I have seen to date. And even this comment constitutes "pre-drilling".
😂 i'm glad someone gets my sense of humor
I watched shit ton of videos on DIY tipics, but yours are by FAR the most structured, informative and usefull.
Excellent video. Lots of accurate information delivered in a concise and efficient way. Well done.
3/5/23 1:30pm This video was so informative for a female with zero idea of using tools. I found some dewalt drills at a garage sale and have not used them in over a year because I didn’t know how. Thanks 🙏 this video gave me confidence that I can do it!
I really appreciate properly used words and phrases. I can't help it. I was just born that way. For example, it hurts my soul when people say "I could care less" instead of "I couldn't care less". So, I smiled and nodded in agreement during the segment on pre-drilling :)

Awesome
Thanks
Loved the last tip! I always used to guess, started out too small and just wasted time so I dont make a hole that ends up being too big
That one saves so much time!
Great video for beginners like me that have a lot to learn about drills.
6:15 I'll also add that brushes tend to spark under heavy load - a massive problem if you're working near an explosive atmosphere or in a spark free zone.
A.K.A near my wife for scenario one and.......also near my wife for scenario 2
Yeah, get sparkless tools you want to make your job bOrInG and without any TriLls...
Very informative video. I can talk to customers about drills with utmost confidence now ! Thank you
3:25 Now I need that quote on a t-shirt!
NOw that my dad is in cancer treatment and cant do it, I gotta get started somehow. Good place to start is this video. I have experience with some powertools but after watching thsi I think I need a hammer-drill ...regular old drill works for concrete but takes forever and heats up.
Thanks for the video. Looks like all I need is my Impact Driver. For all my around the house uses. I can save a couple bucks now.
12:59 PM Just caught a deal at Lowe’s yesterday. This is helpful. Will be looking for beginner’s tutorials soon. Happy drilling!
One "trick" I've discovered recently is when tightening the chuck is to do it as you normally would, but then you need to twist the chuck backwards gently and it'll click to lock your chuck. All these years I've been just wrenching it as hard as I could without locking it! Doesn't seem to be a very well know thing........
I've known this for some time, but I forget it almost every time.. Years of bad habits I suppose.
I bought my first drill yesterday. I actually thought you drill and drive at same time. I didnt know about 'bits' thought the screw goes straight in- good thing i thought to come and watch
Easily the best video I've seen yet on the differences between drills & impacts!!!
Thankyou!! This really helped me with my woodwork project! Really Good Video 👍😃💯
I watch a lot of RUclips stuff. Mark my word, you’re gonna make it big.
Thanks Cole...I'm excited for the future!
The 1/4 inch impact driver is the handiest tool available for disassembling power equipment for repair. I saved a huge amount of time recently while working on a hand held leaf blower that I had to disassemble and reassemble several times while troubleshooting what turned out to be a bad coil.
Fantastic video. The info I wanted with a great presentation. Music was present but not disruptive.
Thank you! Learned a ton, now I'm off to the store to get my first pro drill.
I can't thank enough your very clear language or accent. I am not a native english and understand you very well
You're welcome!
Super video. I was pre-watching for several minutes, but then realized I was just watching - no "pre". I appreciate your attempt at stopping the world from referring to any drilling as "pre-drilling". Thanks!
What an awesome drill tutorial for everyone - lots of useful tips and excellent mechanical explanations. Nice!
Thanks David, very kind
just doing a little pre-drilling on youtube. Great video, very informative. I just bought a Dewalt brushless impact + drill driver kit that was on sale and I'm doing some research.
😂 I spend quite a bit of time pre-drilling on RUclips
Excellent video. Thank you! I'm a new homeowner and am learning basics. This was really helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
The pre-drilling thing has always bugged me. Thanks for calling it out. :)
The answer for me is Yes. Need all three of them and one or two impact wrench drivers too!
I learned so much from this. You are a really good teacher!
I never thought I'd have to think deep 3 minutes in. Thank you Sir. I'm drilled to learn more.
Thank you for a detailed explanation. Learnt alot from this video. You the man! God bless 🙌
Late to the party... This is the most informative video on drills I have seen. I've learned some of these tips over the years by making mistakes. I wish I had a concise video explaining my power drill and drilling concrete back then. I'm glad I get to learn more today.
Cool. Great tips. You can also more accurately start a hole with a twist bit running it backwards, but nothing beats a good awl....nothing but pre-drlling that is. Cabinetmaker for last 22 years.
Better than the "ask the builder" video!
Another tip to prevent the tip (pun intended) of the bit from moving around is to start in reverse, creating a small bowl, then move forward.
As for clearing out holes, it's important to keep the drill turning forward (it will not clear waste when in reverse).
The tape trick on the bit is also useful anytime you need a specific depth.
One question: is the combination drill (with hammer) any good? One big reason to use a hammer drill is in house foundation concrete, so if the small hammer drill does not do it, it's not very useful. I'm wondering if I should get a drill driver drill and a combination drill, or a dill driver with a true hammer drill (I'm looking to upgrade/streamline batteries). I also like having two drivers: a drilling one, a countersink one, and the impact driver to screw.
Ill get back to pre-drilling now, thanks dude 😅
wow this video gives a lot of value to our spent 20 minutes
Straight forward explanation. Thank you!
The number of times I wanted to bludgeon handymen with their own tools because they had no idea how to tighten a chuck and they were complaining that the drill bit was slipping... The chucks I've had to replace because they were worn out, rounded on the inside... THANK YOU! If your video taught 10 people how NOT to ruin their tools it was worth it! Thank you!
as a newbie in this field, y'o this helped
You got me to like your video at the pre-drill hole explanation 😉👍
Excellent Explanation for lay people like me !! Love the way you explain very informative video!!
Very educational for noob like me in DIY. Thank you very much!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! This is exactly what I needed to begin my diy tool education
Yours is the best, and the most comprehensive. Thanks.
I have this dewalt impact drill and it works universally for everything in home tasks
Excellent video, very informative. I've noticed on the tables listing drill size for a pilot hole for a given screw size, the pilot holes are larger than the screw shank, but, if I use a drill to match the screw shank, it provides a much tighter fit in wood, and often results in a damaged screw in metal.
I don't know why they recommend a drill bit so close to the size of the screw. I've found the same thing as you....a smaller hole works much better.
This is the best, most informative vid I’ve seen on tools/construction/DIY ever.
That's high praise, thanks
Thanks, I am in the market for my first drill and this really helped me to understand the difference between all three drill types.
So glad to hear this!
Thank you! Very informative. I have learned quite a bit from this video. Look forward to your next one. Peace and good fortune and good health to you and your family.
Thank you! It's good to have you around!
Very informative video. I really like the trick you showed to make the hole straight by putting two pieces of wood in 90 degree angle around the drill bit. I will try that.
Thank you. You are a good teacher.
Great video for a beginner like me.
Thank you Sir! 😎👍
Ok, I bought a dewalt brushless drill/driver so I could DIY a bookshelf and desk. Now I have to use it🤔so switch to SS to 1 and MSC to around 7,8 or 9 and go for it (ulp). Bit (pun!) of advice to newbies...if you plan to use your new drill tomorrow - charge the battery today 😆Thanks for the tutorial!
I watched your video start to finish because of the challenge that you presented. I have been using tools since before this century began. I did not learn anything. I must say that I use the trigger to tighten my bits. But, I always finish tightening them by hand, In that, I cetainly agree with you. Had I seen this in the 20th century, I would have learned what I know now. I would respectfully ask that you edit the challenge out of this. This is a great video for someone just getting into tools. I learned about finishing holes from the other side after I messed up a door using a jig.
Best informative Video. Thank you!
You truly deserve more followers to this RUclips channel....
I wouldn't mind that 😀 Thanks so much!
I have the same hammer drill all this time and never knew what the “hammer” function is for. Thank you for this very informative video.
you're welcome Jonathan!
As a contractor, carpenter, framer and deck builder and Welder I only needs 2 of the 3! The impact driver and the hammer drill that's it. The one that I use for Driving Fasteners deck screws, structural lag screws and some short lag bolts while the other I use for drilling holes, pilot holes, and masonry. And in my experience I found that the drill driver alone is useless because it doesn't have a hammer function compare to the hammer drill. In the hammer drill you can also drive fasteners in there because it also have a clutch. More power and more torque than the drill driver. So Everytime I buy tools I always purchase them in a bundle kit package Impact Driver and Hammer Drill with batteries, charger and a tool bag. There's a lot of options out there a lot of selections and varieties. Either DeWalt, Makita, Bosch, Ryobi, Craftsman, Hilti, Ridgid, Flex, Hitachi/Metabo HPT and some cheap stuff like Harbor Freight Hercules and Bauer they always comes in a kit. In my opinion the best pair is the Impact Driver and the hammer drill. And in my jobsite I use 2 tool for driving Fasteners especially when pre drilling is required. Impact Driver is meant for driving Fasteners and hammer drill is mean for drilling holes. No I don't use paddle bit on any of my impact driver because that's stupid and dumb. If I want to use paddle bits I always put that thing on my hammer drill either on my DeWalt cordless or Bosch corded hammer drill.
Wow….I’ve been looking for a video like this. Finally I have found it! Thank you so much!
IF WOODWORKING IS YOUR HOBBY HAVE ALL THREE KINDS OF DRILL GUNS. I FOUND NEEDS FOR DRILLING CONCRETE, BRICK, PLASTIC/PVC , MARBLE & LUMBER. TOOK ME A LIFETIME TO GET ALL MY TOOLS OF WHICH WOODWORKING TOOLS BECAME MY MOST NEEDED OWNING MY HOME. OWNING A HOME CAN MAKE ONE A JACK OF ALL TRADES, MASTER OF NONE. I ALWAYS LIKED THE SMELL OF LUMBER OR WOOD. U-TUBE IS A GREAT TEACHER FOR EVERYONE
Excellent video. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing! very useful, very easy to learn with your amazing explanation
Thank you for spending the time
going from a drill driver to an impact driver was a revelation to me as i often have to drive in screws bent over driving the screw upwards from beneath the piece of wood so ive more than once had the driver ripped out of my hand , once i started using an impact thats never been a issue since
Love my 885,it’s old but does a good job
My wife says im not very handy around the house.. little does she know ive been predrilling my whole life
Excellent video, very concise and informative. Thank you!
this was really helpful to drill/driver noob(me)
Solid video!! It's crazy how we can do things wrong and get away with it. Knowing the contents of this video make life a whole lot easier😃🤓
Learned a lot. Thanks
You are explained so well. I learned a lot.
Great video, very informative, thank you very much
This is very good stuff. Thanks for such great tutorial. Just wished you ended it with "how to keep your drill bits sharp" but I guess that could be a different topic. 👍
What a quality content, stunning visually and just explained awesomely! Thank you!
Thanks so much!
This was/is really great video, just my point of view I only buy expensive hole saws as the cheap ones don’t work as well through all my cheap stuff out. The auger bit I use all the time ½ and ¾ for electrical drilling through 2x4 walls and floor joists to run wires, yes it pulls right through only way to go for this job. The counter sink bit comes in Allen key or set screw the set screw is junk just buy ones with Allen keys. I have a bulky 90-degree attachment for drilling holes the one you are showing looks amazing for drilling and screwing, I am going to get one of those. I needed that yesterday as the bulky one cost me as I have to make a bigger hole in drywall, installing backing for plumbing. Thank you
Great video. So much I never knew even though I have been woodworking for years. Appreciate learning the important elementary facts of how and why. Thank you.
Informative and concise.
Great job! Very informative and well done!
