How to choose a DIY drill
Wattage
If you have a lot of money to spend, opt for a fairly powerful model. You will gain in terms of versatility. Remember that you may need to drill small holes in the wall as well as drill harder materials. Around 500 Watts, you can easily satisfy all the most common household needs.
On 800 Watts, you can expect higher performance and deeper holes. Wood and concrete will no longer be a problem. Around 1000 Watts, you can also drill steel in a rather effective way, and with the right tips, you will have nothing to fear.
Speed
The effectiveness of the performance of a DIY drill is not the result of the power alone but also primarily of the speed it manages to develop as well as the tips used, whether adequate or not. In your judgment, consider that the drill has: variable speed and direction variation.
These would undoubtedly be peculiarities that will come in handy. You can do without it if your needs are basic. But we repeat, it is better to invest a little more and have an all-rounder product rather than run for cover later for a further need.
Percussion
If you plan to work on materials such as concrete, for example, a hammer drill might be more appropriate than others. The percussion mechanism is particularly suitable for certain materials because the tip and rotating perform a second movement.
Conclusions
Finally, consider the structure, if the ergonomics fit well and in your hand,d and the possible presence of accessories. The latter will certainly be beneficial to you, and if your drill does not have one sooner, or later you will be forced to buy some.
