It’s not only children who love Christmas for the gifts it brings them, even the grown ups look forward to it. But, then there is not as large a variety of the kind of gifts for men as is perhaps for children. But men who like to tinker with household gadgets and love to undertake DIY projects are pleased to receive gifts that add to their list of often used tools. And, a drill machine is one such tool.
It is essentially required for doing minor repairs around the house or for another small project. There is a large variety available and many of you may not be aware that a drill machine is different from a hammer drill, though both perform the same functions of drilling and cutting. The article helps you to understand the difference between the two and decide if you could gift a drill machine to a friend.
A Plain cordless drill is a machine with a cutting tool called drill bit that rotates in a circular direction. While it rotates, the user applies a physical pressure to drive the bit into the material that needs to be drilled for making a hole. The bit has groves or cutting edges that latch on and make their way into the material. The material that has been cut or the waste is automatically thrown up. Plain cordless drills find a wide application in drilling of wood, vinyl, or other such soft materials.
Hand hammer drills on the other hand are very powerful machines and would normally be used by a skilled person. Here too, the drill turns a special drill bit in a circular motion but performs an additional function also. It exerts pressure on the cutting drill bit, thus pushing it down the material being handled. Such machines are provided with special drill bits that can penetrate thru as hard materials as steel and concrete.
So, you can realize that both the machines primarily perform the same function of cutting or drilling thru a given material; it’s the characteristic properties of material that call for different machines. Hard materials like concrete and steel need more of thrust to be applied to the bit to enable it perform. This extra force is provided by the machine itself as it will be beyond the operator to apply so much of physical strength.
One doesn’t use a hammer drill around the house for doing small do it yourself kind of projects. So a hobbyist shouldn’t normally be expected to receive such a kind of drill as a gift.
Finally, who offers a better drill machine, DeWalt and Milwaukee? Well, both perform equally well. Milwaukee does make good machines comparable to DeWalt, but certainly takes advantage of the brand value it has been able to create for itself. DeWalt makes good quality dependable drills that are reasonably priced. Thus they offer value for money. For the price of a Milwaukee drill, you could perhaps buy a DeWalt machine with couple of useful attachment thrown in.
