Features of Cordless Drills
Drill Battery Charger
Choose a drill which has variable speeds. You may require these speed settings so that you can select lower speeds. Softer materials should be drilled with higher speeds. If you choose a drill with an automatic clutch then the speed will change depending on the material being drilled automatically. This is fantastic for beginners.
You need to think about the power of the drill. There are many different voltages of drills, including 2 to 24 volts. You need to think about what you intend to be drilling with the drill so that you can work out the voltage requirements. You should always buy a slightly higher powered drill than you think you will need so that you can be sure you have enough.
Another important thing to think about is the battery. Battery life of the drills varies depending on the drill that you buy. I would suggest buying a drill that has two batteries so that you can use one while charging the other. The battery should be charged as soon as you notice its losing power.
Manufacturers of Cordless Drills
Popular drills for woodworking are Makita drills. This was one of the first companies to pioneer the idea of cordless drills and always continues to improve their technology and models.
