- How to use a drill - a beginner's guide.
Using a drill is easier than you think once you know a few basics.
In this video I cover choosing a drill (plug-in or cordless), what you can use a drill for, the parts of the drill and the settings of a drill, choosing and fitting drill bits, how to use a drill safely for the first time, tips for using the drill for drilling holes and for screwing and unscrewing screws.
It's a good idea to look at drills in person to find the best drill for you but below are a few ideas I found on amazon - any amazon links that appear in my channel's video descriptions are affiliate links which means I earn a tiny commission if you use the link. This does not affect the price you pay, and I only ever include links for products I would also buy.

This video is so helpful to me. Lost my husband earlier this year, and I'm slowly learning how to do some of the things he always took care of for me. Thank you for teaching me how to use his cordless drill!
I’m so sorry for your loss.
Glad this has helped you. 🤗
So sorry for your Loss. May God grant your dear Husband eternal rest and may your heart be consoled.
So sorry you lost your companion. Hats off to you for rolling up your sleeves & learning to 'do' for yourself. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. A tiny tip is 'preparation' take time to get it right. As you're watching videos like this with great advice I know you're on the right track.
I am so glad I found this! I am in the exact same position and crying my way through trying to install a Ring.
May god bless you beautiful soul.
That’s the best drill demonstration I’ve seen on CZcams. Clear, concise and to the point. And no shouting or loud music! Great to see a woman doing it too. Subscribed.
❤ You’re the only one that actually gave detailed instructions for a complete beginner and I sincerely did appreciate it and I will keep up with your site. Thank you very much and have a good day.
you are a lifesaver! never used a drill in my life and trying to learn how to be more independent. i was so scared of it. i swear i went through ten videos to finally find a step by step guide for a TRUE novice! thank you so much!
It's a fantastic video for a complete novice. Never used or even looked at a drill before in my life. Husband died last year, shed full of equipment, and I wanted to take a shelf down. After watching video ( couple of times) I had the courage to have a go. Success! Thank You so much.
So sorry for your loss but really pleased to hear this helped you 😊
Thank you so much for this informative video. I am a retired 61 year-old female, and I live alone in a senior living facility, and I do not have anyone to help me to use the drill. Thank you very much for your very clear explanation of how the drill works, and the tools can be used. Im a new subscriber!😊
I think this was genuinely the most helpful thing I’ve ever watched on CZcams. Thank you!!!
Ah thank you! Glad it helped you
Girl! I would like to THANK YOU for teaching me how to use a drill! I so appreciated all the facets of your instruction, because even though my drill is nothing like yours, you covered so much that I understood how to use mine and no longer fear it. I had searched (and watched) other videos, and NO ONE was as easy to understand or as thorough as you were. I watched your vid, went outside and drilled away like it was nobody's business. Thank you again!!
Love this - happy drilling 🤩
Great little video. Divorced female. Able to throw my hand at various DIY tasks now but always avoided drills. With this video. Feel confident to have a go and stop being so scared. THANK YOU 😊
Thank you. Your explanations are so clear! This was so helpful to me, as I have just moved to a new house on my own and have bought a power tool, to put up some shelves, and have never done it before, so thank you!
Thank you so very much for this tutorial. Very well explained. Now I am about to install my floating shelves in the bathroom. I’m so excited!😊
Excellent video for a beginner! Detailed and very helpful. Now I finally know how to use a drill!
Thank you so much for this easy to follow video.At 67 and totally on my own,I am ready to try my drill I bought years ago.I ordered a box of drills and won’t start until I practice on wood,and watch your video again.
I feel ready to go it alone with pictures,and my cooker visor hood.
Thank you
Angela
My dad did everything for me snd this video really helped me out. Very informative and to the point! 👍🏽👍🏽
Same. Now on my own and only a tiny clue of how to use one.
Thanks Georgina - really clear and helpful advice! Just put up my first shelves in the kids' room and I feel like a drill wizard now. 🥳
My incredibly handy partner passed away a few months ago and now I'm learning how to do this all myself. Thank you for being a great resource.
So sorry for your loss
Thankyou so much for this video. I've never used a drill before and I was never taught how. This covers all the basics for a beginner like me. Much appreciated 🙏 😊
Hi Georgina, Just to say a big thank you for your tips on using a drill. I had a lot more confidence a decade or so, but was a bit nervous about doing this sort of thing on my own. Your advice was clear, concise and not 'dumbed down' but included everything I needed to encourage me to have a go. You have just got yourself a new subscriber!
I needed a drill and my dad had a spare and gave it to me but I have never used one before. This guide is so clear and helpful, I now know I can get started, thank you so much!
Thank you so much! So encouraging to see many other first time users.
This was very helpful.
Thank you for sharing.
This guide was very helpful. Thank you so much Georgina
Thank you for a very helpful video, taught me so much that I needed to know!
I love the dust pan trick. I always taped an envelope to the wall to catch the dust, but this is better.
This video was perfect! Thank you!
Loved the video, no wasted time. Thank you
You have fulfilled everything I wanted to know about a cordless drill. Thank you. Best video.
Fab tutorial, thank you so much! ❤
Id seen my dad use one growing up with no clue how to use one except to pull the trigger. Knew nothing about needing different sizes of bits, what a bit was and that you use different ones for different tasks. Now im at least confident enough to try it by drilling a drainage hole in a flower pot. Baby steps lol. Thank you so much for this video!!
Thank you for the detailed demonstration.
Really good advice and concise, thank you.😊
Hi Georgina, excellent clear instructions. Thank you SO much.
Very helpful! I think I might be ready to use my new drill now! Thanks!
This has been much more helpful for me than the instructions which came with my Dewalt cordless. I understand same things apply universally on these similar drills but because mine is a DeWalt I found it very helpful. Thank you!!!
Very informative and the demonstration filled with clarity.
Just what I needed to use our drills properly. Thank you
Very informative and concise,thank you!
Your video has been the most helpful. Thank you
Thank you so much as I am currently widowed I must learn to do all these things . Thank you thank you thank you
Found this tutorial really useful. Thank you 😊
Thank you for this guide. Very helpful.
Thank you so much for this video! I never used a drill before and was afraid of making huge holes or injuring myself and now I'm much more confident :)
thank you for your help, Georgina
Thank you ma'am for an awesome guide.
Really great explanations. I just put up my security camera and solar panel. Thanks!
Thanks Georgina for the detailed video.
This video was very helpful. There are some things I want do do around my home. I believe knowing how to handle a few tools will help me to get them done. Thank you for sharing.
Great video. I have to put up some shelves and your video was made to order. Thanks so much.
Thank you so much! I bought a drill to install new curtains, and I was lost with that thing! You solved the enigmas in the first half of your video. I did an excellent job, by the way, as an absolute beginner! Thanks again❤
This I very helpful. Thank you.
Thank u so much for this awesome video , as a first time homes owner I needed to know this for the basic DIy,.
This was outstanding!!!? Thank you 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Thank you, such a helpful video.
Thanks for making this video, I've found it most knowable 😊
Thank you, lovely, the best vid on this I found 🙏🏻
Keep doing excellent work like this and keep giving information, thanks for your information.
Seriously super good and helpful. I bought a drill a week ago and for the week I didn’t know how to turn it on. It had the safety lock in place omg.
Very helpful video, thanks
You're the best!! Oh my you can't imagine how much you're helping me as I just got a new drill!! Thank you so much, so helpful, too kinda new at this!!! I love your accent, and so easy to follow your video!😊😅😅
Neatly explained!
This video is exactly what I needed very well explained. It's gone far to expensive to hire someone to do these jobs so I need to learn to do them for myself. Well done
Thanks Georgina, great informative video. Be great if u did further episodes on tools for us diyers. 👍❤️
Thankyou! Expertly put.
I’m putting my headboard on the wall tomorrow into masonry! My first drill is arriving tomorrow too and this video helped a lot!

Great tutorial! Keep it up! :)

Thank you so much for this video. I am a guy and I have never used a drill before. Hope to see more videos of yours on how to use a drill on different jobs. Thank you again.
Glad it was helpful : )
Very good information!
Thank You so much 🙏🏾
beautifully explained ( in more ways than one )
THANKS ALOT. EXPLAINED IT BETTER THAN MOST MEN
Thanks super helpful
Amazing! Even on a normal one (no battery and no speed options) it worked after a few tries, although I almost burned my hand because it rotated so fast
Very informative
Great video thanks.
Thanks so much 😊
very well explained dear ...
Thank you so much.
It was a well done video. This is a person who should be involved in making these and I greatly appreciate the manner done. Most people I cannot listen to with a lot of repetition and "blah blah."
Thank you this was so helpful , I just bought my first drill and I want to Surprise my fiancé my fixing the front grill on my car!
My tip is to get an envelope and fold flap over, then bit of tape to hold it in place under where you're drilling. Frees up both hands and no mess 👍
Such a valuable video for a woman beginner like myself. Thanks!
Hello Great Video! Thanks
Thank you!
I learned thank you
Best beginners video on drills ive seen. Better then any male video
God bless you madam for this deep tutorial. I have learned a lot from you today. God will continue to give you more knowledge to teach more.
🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Thank you so much. I'm a 66 woman, had/have a dad/husband/sons who can do this stuff in their sleep but are rubbish at explaining it. I'm tired of asking my son to do stuff (so is he!) so this was brilliant. The only thing is I bought a Black and Decker Reviva for simplicity but can't work out how to get the bits in and out 🤷♀. I'll read the very limited directions again but I'm so grateful for your clear concise video.
Finally worked it out. Thanks for giving me the confidence to work It out.
@@user-nm2qm2pu9z ah I’m so glad. I just had a search and it seems to be a common question with the b&d drills - sounds like the chuck can be quite stiff to turn! Glad you sorted it and that the video was helpful 😊
Excellent
Nice video! 🎉
My girlfriend and I are trying to build a garden box without help from any of our guy friends ... this video is so thorough and helpful. Thank you!!
Love this 🥰 Good luck!
Thanks ❤
Thank You ❤ 😭😭 wish me luck, im going to use the drill for the first time and im soo so nervous ! But your video helped
Good luck Alex - you've got this : )
Thank u 🙏🏻
Good video.
A drill can also be used to stir paint and mix small quantities of materials like plaster, with an appropriate whisk/paddle.
Btw, my mate works for the council.
Great point!
