I know it seems like a basic thing but we have been asked how to use all the settings on a basic power drill
Drill Speed
Generally, the larger the bit, the slower you want to set the speed.
Drill Torque
In many drills, this is related to speed. The slower the speed, the higher the torque. Higher torque is sometimes good when using your drill for driving screws.
Drill Clutch
The clutch is used when you are driving screws with your drill. You can set the clutch to disengage the rotation of the drill when a certain resistance is encountered. This can be useful to prevent overdriving of screws or overtightening.
Drill Gears
These will set the torque and/or speed. The term “Drill Gears” is sometimes used to refer to the modes like drill, drive screws or hammer drill.
Hopefully, this video answered some questions people have had about their drills
Now that you know how to operate a drill, you can purchase your drill
This is a great post! It’s something that everyone assumes that either they themselves, or anyone working with them, already knows…but many people do not fully understand how to properly operate a drill. Thanks for sharing!

I bought the extended drill bit to dig holes in tree stumps but it only went down 1 inch. What do I need . I am a female and I want an electric drill or whatever tool that will do this for me. I have 4 palm tree stumps and I cannot burn them. Help!
I assume you are trying to use some stump remover like this. http://amzn.to/2xNiZYk
You would need a regular drill. One with a cord would be the most powerful. Also, one with a side handle can be useful for someone who may need a bit more leverage. My guess though is your drill may not be the issue. My guess is that either the bit is not sharp or you are not applying decent forward pressure. A self feeding bit may be helpful, like these http://amzn.to/2zi5a0a good luck
