Since having a garage burglary before Christmas, we are now in the process of replacing some of the tools which were taken.
We had a drill taken and a lovey ratchet screwdriver set which I liked because it had lots of different sizes of heads and was easier for me to use than a 'manual' screwdriver. I just wondered, before I go looking,............is it possible to get an electric drill which also serves as a screwdriver with lots of different sizes heads.
We still have the drill bits. They didn't take those.
I want to ask for the right thing when I go to B&Q. I don't want to be thought of as a dumb blonde!
You often see the screwdriver sets in "bargain" shops. They are in little soft plastic boxes of about 20 bits. These are OK for infrequent use as the metal the bits are made of is quite soft and easily turn in the screw. It's worth paying a bit extra for some quality ones from one of the DIY sheds....
Any cordless drill can be used as a screwdriver. They even have torque settings so you can't screw them in too hard. There is a small socket which fits in the drill chuck so a variety of bits can be easily changed to suit the size and head of the screws you are using.
So, graham, you have to buy a set of screwdriver head separately from the cordless drill? I'm looking for a combined set with everything in. Is there such a thing?
I didn't realise you could use a drill as a screwdriver. Thank you.
Dumb blondes often get priority when it comes to getting bargains. I am too old now (more like platinum blonde, or silvery white if you must) but when I was young I used it to great effect.
