Thank you so much for this video. I don't have a father around anymore (DV),..he was the only one that knew about D.I.Y,...I did try to pick up as much as I could before I left home & I'm glad I did as my husband isn't great with D.I.Y (never had anyone around yo teach him) so it's always left for me to sort out. I've always been scared of drilling into walls in case I mess something up, but he really wanted shelving putting up in his gaming room. I purchased this drill last week so on my day off I could surprise him (while he was in work)....but I had no idea about the settings. I knew there was different bits for different materials but that was it haha. So thank you for teaching this 30 something year old woman how to use this drill
i'M 71, AND MY DAD TOO WAS GREAT AT DIY , AND HE TAUGHT ME LOADS OF STUFF, ABOUT CAR'S TOO. SADLY HE DIED 15 YEARS AGO , AND I HAVE ALL HIS TOOLS, BUT IT'S NOT THE SAME AS HAVING HIM HERE TO GUIDE ME THROUGH JOBS I HAVE NEVER DONE BEFORE. i ONLY THE OTHER DAY WONDERED WHAT THE HELL ALL THOSE SETTINGS MEANT , THIS HAS MADE SO MUCH SENSE TO ME AND WILL HELP NO END, ALSO I CAN PASS THIS INFO ONTO MY TWO GRANDSONS, IN THEIR TEENS, AS THEY HAVE NO DAD AROUND , AND MY DAD WAS THEIR DAD FOR A LONG TIME. THANKS FOR THIS INFO , FROM A GIRL THAT LOVES A BIT OF DIY !
I used this drill for mounting a bracket but had no idea what any of the settings were for until now. I probably used it on the wrong settings though it still did the job.
If you are using the hammer drill setting I take it that speed 1 would be best for that extra torque while drilling into masonry? Thanks for the video by the way, just bought one of these for general household DIY, you explained the settings great.
They are for screwing really, they can stop you stripping the heads on screws and also can be used as a depth stop when screwing into soft materials like wood
