So, what is a modern drill screwdriver capable of? Since the first word in the name is still «drill», then let’s start by drilling. Household power tools (this is the class that most «multifunctional» drills) is able to work effectively with wood, and with metal, and even with brick. For particularly hard materials, a function such as hammer drilling is useful. A drill / driver equipped with such a function does not have the capabilities of a professional impact drill and, moreover, a perforator, but is able to cope with a wall made of either brick or lightweight concrete. For drilling in «industrial» on a scale it is better to acquire a professional tool, but if after repair the drill will be used only occasionally, there will be enough household.

Tightening or unscrewing a screw is a simple job, but not to say that it is fast and always easy. Using a screwdriver, you significantly save time and energy, as well as gain confidence that the furniture will be fastened securely. The same tool will help when performing «reverse» work: the reverse function allows you to unscrew the screws just as quickly and easily.

Another function of the drill that is familiar to everyone who has had to make repairs is its ability to act as a mixer. The preparation of all kinds of mortars can be done manually, however, the use of «mixers» allows you to do this not only faster, but also better. There are special drill mixers, but for this purpose it is quite possible to adapt a conventional screwdriver: with or without a nozzle.

Having one tool for several works is not only convenient in itself, but also financially profitable. Spending on the purchase of several expensive tools at once is not necessary: ​​you can limit yourself to one. A good drill screwdriver successfully copes with any of its functions, contributing to a quick, sensible and reliable repair.!
