      @@HalfAsleepChris I came about your channel just today and fell in love with it! One part that I got confused with was when you called the drill an electric screwdriver, but I'm American, so I'm sure there's a lot of differences between how we say things! Lol!😂

    • @HalfAsleepChris
      @HalfAsleepChris  Před 5 lety +70

      Hey, thanks a lot! It's an electric screwdriver I'm just using a drill attachment. It wouldn't be powerful enough to drill into a wall or anything, but I prefer it because it's portable and quieter. My drill has to be plugged in.
