Consider most of the jobs you may use an electric drill for. If you have a lot of heavy-duty projects ahead, you might want to purchase a more powerful drill. They run slower but have the power behind them to get the job done efficiently. The more powerful drills usually have a cord attached to them. If you have a lot of lightweight jobs to use a drill for, then a cordless one may be your best selection.

Step 3
Arrange the work to be drilled either straight ahead of you or down below you. These are the two safest ways to use a drill. The drill is also more secure and won't waver while using it. If the material you are drilling is a hard or thick material, use a hole punch to start the hole before you drill.
