DO YOU OWN THESE TOOLS
THE MOST UTILIZED TOOLS FOR A HOMEOWNER Purpose of Purchase: It all depends on what you intend to use the drill for when you plan to purchase a cordless drill.
When shopping for the right cordless drill, you will find battery ranges from 2.4 to 36 volts and price ranges from $40 to
$1000 or more. With such a variety of sizes and price ranges on the market, which is the right one for you? Size
Matters: Basically, bigger isn't always better. For general purposes, I recommend 9.6 volt to 14.4 volt cordless drills.
An 18 volt or higher drill will feel quite heavy and awkward. Especially with prolonged project uses. A larger cordless drill
will weigh 3 to 5 lbs more than a 9.6 or 12 volt drill. Higher voltage cordless drills provide more power, but are also more
expensive. Batteries: Nicad cells: named for the combination of nickel and cadmium components. These batteries
deliver a constant charging rate and can be recharged rather quickly. Nicad batteries often can be recharged up to 1000 times
before they need to be replaced. It is important that you don't throw your used battery in the trash. They contain toxic
metals. You should take them to a battery recycling center. NiMH: Which contains nickel-metal-hydride, are constantly improving in power and price. These batteries do not contain cadmium like Nicad cells, thus making them more environment friendly. NiMH batteries for cordless drills cost more than the Nicad batteries. NiMH batteries also have up to 50% fewer recharge cycles. When purchasing a cordless drill, check to see if you get an additional battery. If not, it might be a wise decision to purchase an extra one. How frustrating it can be when you run out of battery power and you have no back up battery! Drill
/ Drivers : Many manufacturers offers drill / driver cordless drills. These are versatile drills which offer the option to
drill pilot holes and to drive fasteners.
 CHEAP VS PROFESSIONAL TOOLS
The first reason for going with a professional power tool is tool options. Lets take a reciprocating saw. The cheap one and the professional one will both look a like, take the same blade, probably have the same stroke length and same amp motors. But when you look closer there is a big difference with options. For example, take the Milwaukee Sawzall. They have created a lot of the features in this tool category. No matter what you do you will not get this blade to pull away from the gun while using it. The cheaper tools lack this option and use cheaper components that will not let you lock the blade into place. It will lock into place, but when you put certain pressure on a certain angle, you will more than likely get the blade to bind up and pull away from the saw. Variable Speeds. Different applications require different speeds. The Sawzall lets you adjust the speeds while most cheaper tools do not. The faster you go, the more power it will take the user to hold the tool in place. Why not adjust the speed for the application? I could go on and on about how the Sawzall has more options for the user than the no name brands, but I won't. In most power tool categories this will be the case. Professional tools are designed for the serious user and designed for the long run. These companies need to stay on top of the game to compete in the competitive industry. High Quality Material Professional power tool companies use better material in their tools. They spend millions of dollars each year on research and development. They build lighter and stronger tools by the material they use. They search for the optimal settings in the tools. A simple example of material is metal. First is stainless steel. There are different grades of stainless steel on the market that these companies can buy. One way for a no name manufacture to keep cost down is by buying a cheaper stainless steel, (there are over 60 grades of stainless steel)They can still advertise it as stainless steel because technically it is. Using a lower quality stainless steel can still cause corrosion and having corrosion on the inside of the tools is bad for the motor and wear and tear. On the outside it just looks bad, not to mention cheaper stainless steel is more fragile. Steel is the same. The purer steel is the better. Some no name brands save money by buying a cheaper steel, so it might have more iron in the steel. Well Iron is what cause rust and spot rusting. Some say they always keep their tools dry and don't have to worry about that. Well actually the small amounts of water and oxygen in the air are enough to get the corrosion process started. I just touched on the aspect of corrosion. There is still the whole idea of using better materials, such as metals create a better motor. The better motor will have less heat build up and therefore last longer. A simple better plastic on the tool can make it easer to hold. There are lots of reasons that materials make a difference between tools. Efficiency Efficiency is another reason and one of the most important reasons. A power tool made with a better design and better materials is more efficient, meaning it can transfer more power from the source (Input) to the output. Compare a no name to a name brand power tool. Maybe they both have the same amps and volts, but a brand name power tool can transfer the energy better. A tool that transfers 93% of the power to the blade is far better than a tool that only transfers 79%. Unfortunately, most power tool manufacturers never state their efficient transition from input to output and I am not sure why, but studies have shown that the better design and material make an efficient transfer. Safety Some of the no name brand tools are made in foreign countries. Don't assume that they have the same standard as other countries. Some of these countries don't have the technology to make good machines that produce quality tools. Also, some of these countries either don't have the same laws or laws may not even be enforced. So these companies in the foreign land can cut corners. The tool might not be designed with good balance and could cause fatigue earlier, resulting in injuries. Sometimes the cheaper tools will break and when they break without the the proper design, it could actually end up causing an injury. Safety is the most important thing to consider when operating a tool. Why save a couple of extra dollars when you are talking about safety. Again, this may not seem like a big deal, but remember you are dealing with tools and it is not a good idea to fight tools. The tool should be doing the work, not you. Often with a cheaper or no name brand you will have to fight the tool, causing more fatigue. Aggravation More times than not the biggest thing I have seen is aggravation with no name power tools. I see people all the time trying to use no name power tools that shouldn't even be used, they can lack power and efficiency. They end up getting frustrated with a simple project. I don't know about you, but having the right tool for the right project makes a world of difference. Take a simple screw as an example. Have you ever gone to the store and seen a great deal on screws and thought to yourself, "Wow I have to get these, I could save a bunch." Well I am sure we have all seen a great deal and not wanted to pass it up. What happens next. You put them on the shelf and next time you need a screw you grab for them. Sure some of the time they work fine, but sometimes the screw head comes right off. Worst yet, and it happens a lot, the screw ends up stripping. That's when it dawns on you that you got ripped off. They used a cheaper material and now you have to deal with it. The screw is just a simple example, but it happens a lot with power tools. Time Another factor is time. If you are going to work with a power tool, do it the right way and use the right tool. Using a cheaper tool is just going to waste time. You might end breaking bits quicker,or taking longer to cut or drill trough certain materials. Then, there is the factor of buying the tool again done the road. Using the right tool, a professional tool, can save you a lot of time. Professional power tool manufacturers designed this tool for a specific use. They have tested it to make sure it works the way it is supposed to. By now you may be thinking that I work for the power tool industry, but I don't. I know this
stuff first hand because that's how I used to shop. I ended up buying that cheap no name brand junk and learning
the hard way. I don't know how many cheap power tools I ended up buying before I finally got my act together and
bought the good stuff. Well, I still have the good stuff and have realized that it pays to spend a couple of extra dollars
 Too Much Power is Better Than Not Enough Here my quick guide on cordless drills and tools. As there is a wide range of different drills available on the market, I would like to give you an overview on my favorite cordless drills and what you should look for when you compare them. Particularly if you compare cheap low price drills with professional units from DeWalt, Makita, Milwaukee or other brand names, you will find enormous differences. Let's get into details and see what type of cordless drills a handyperson really should look for. If you think of buying a new kind of drills make sure you check some key points: Volts (=cordless drills power) Ampere Duration of worktime from battery Type of Battery Nickel Cadmium,Nickel Metal Hydrate,Lithium Ion (nano) Position Mechanical Gear Electronic Brake Drill Stops Automatically on Trigger Variable Speed Trigger increases speed Keyless Chuck, Key not necessary to exchange bits Fast Charger Battery charger has quick charging rate Forward/Reverse Switch switch to change turning direction Hammeraction Drill Chuck pounds Forward and Backward as it revolves Cordless Drills - Power and Battery First thing when you look at a good cordless drill will be Volts of the the battery pack. To simplify it - the more Volts your cordless drill has - the faster the motor spins - the more torque you will get. Unfortunately - the more volts your cordless drills have - the heavier they get (if you ever worked with a 18 Volt drill over a longer period of time - you will know what I am talking about). Similar important as the Volts of your battery are the Ampere. Measured in Ah (Ampere per hour) it gives you an idea of how long a battery will last. You can have a 12 Volts battery with 1.8 Ah and with 2.4 Ah. Obviously both batteries should give you the same power initially, but the 2.4 Ah will last 30% longer. Important if you use cordless drills for heavy duty work. Looking at Volts and Ampere, you should also understand the basic types of battery packs currently available on the market. The (older) Standard Nickel Cadmium (Ni-Cd) battery packs are cheaper but do not give you much Ah as the newer Nickel Metal Hydride (Ni-MH) battery packs. The Ni-MH packs also give you an additional advantage in recharging, as the do not loose power after being recharged many many times (no-memory effect). Nickel Metal Hydride (Ni-MH) battery packs are usually more expensive, but definitely worth it's money. As batteries changed improved over the past years most manufacturers offer a wide range of power packs. Finding the right Dewalt or Makita batteries can therefore sometimes be a bit of a challenge. Cordless Drills - Mechanical Gear Make sure your cordless drill got a 2-step mechanical gear. Electronic speed control is fine and nice - but if you can reduce the speed of your cordless drills mechanically beforehand you will not loose power through electronic regulation. Instead you will increase the torque of your unit. Electronic Brake Very, very important and most certainly not found on cheap no name cordless drills is the electronic brake. This means when you lift the switch the drill bit stops immediately . This electronic braking is key for certain woodworking and drywall applications. E.g. Drive a screw just flush into a drywall. Variable Speed Switch Nearly all cordless drills nowadays have it. Some with a speed pre selection - but most cordless drills are equipped with a standard variable speed switch. The deeper you press the switch - the faster the unit runs. Torque Selection Torque control means that you select a certain torque on your drill. When driving a screw into your work piece and it reaches a certain torque the machine stops automatically the bit. Theoretically this feature would allow you to drive screws flush into wood. The torque selection feature is a wonderful feature if you need to tighten screws in metal and do not want to overtighten or strip Cordless Drills with Keyless Chuck, Fast Charger, Backward/Forward Switch Most of these features are standard with many cordless drills on the market. If not you can get them as an accessory. As far as a fast charger is referred to, most supplier call a 1 hour charger a "fast charger". I would recommend a hammerdrill as with the newest models with adjustable speeds and torque you can adjust the drill to drill through soft material or set screws in softer material and when working with harder surfaces you can turn up your power and torque which gives you a more multipurpose tool which will work in concrete also To sum it up, for the Handyman I would recommend the following cordless Hammer drills   DeWalt DC925 XRP HammerDrill /Driver DEWALT built high power, high efficiency

If you are using cordless tools only occasionally I would recommend you get a cordless flexlight or flashlight compatable with your battery packs. This way you can use the battery packs more often and recharge them. This way lifetime of your cordless drills will be enlarged, because battery packs should be emptied occasionally and recharged again FOR TOOL SELECTION VISIT CATALOGUE. |
