A power drill is an electrical motor that rotates a replaceable drill bit to make a hole in wood, plastic or metal. Alternately, a screwdriver tip can be installed to turn screws. The parts of a power drill include the handle, an on/off trigger with safety latch, a reversing switch for changing the rotation direction of the drill bit, a torque adjustment and the chuck that holds the drill bit in place.

Drill FAQ
Carbide (or more specifically tungsten carbide and titanium carbide) is a very common material on any sort of cutting tool. For example, saw blades, lathe bits, drill bits, router bits and dental drilling tips are generally made of carbide. Learn more about carbide tips.
Torque is a force that tends to rotate or turn things. You generate a torque any time you apply a force using a wrench. Tightening the lug nuts on your car wheels is a good example. When you use a wrench, you apply a force to the handle. This force creates a torque on the lug nut, which tends to turn the lug nut. Learn more about how torque works.
A drill bores a hole in a surface, such as wood or drywall, by rotating a bit locked into place on the end. A chuck is used to lock the bit into place, and depending upon the size of the bit, you can create a hole anywhere from 1/4-inch to 6 inches in diameter. Learn more about how to select the right drill bit for the job.
