Not gonna lie felt super ashamed of myself looking up how to use a drill bit. And I thought that some man was going to criticize me in a video for not knowing but then I saw pretty lady. Thank you for helping a sister out!
There no need to feel ashamed if you’ve never been showed how to use it in the first place. But if u didn’t even know or remember the name like me then that’s another story...
look at you, so primed to be a victim. Why would anyone even shame a girl for not knowing how to use a drill bit? If anything _guys_ would be shamed for not knowing how to use one. Get over yourself.
Thank you so much for your help. Im a single mom trying to figure out how to put several household items together just bought my first drill and i had no clue how to work it
For years I keep asking my husband to show me how to work a drill. His reply has always been it's not for me. After viewing your video I'm so excited, I now know how to use a drill.
@@benda777nba That really sucks. Has anyone informed these guys of what century it is? 🤔🤔 I have known dads who are awesome about teaching their daughters how to do all this stuff by doing projects together and they're having a great time! Ridiculous when you're trying to learn something that can be a fun hobby. Just have to look elsewhere for help. Dad's loss.
Thank you, April!! Since I became a widow I had to learn things like this, which is a good thing, just not the best reason. I hope you do more of these types of videos for beginners like me, very helpful!
I’m an almost 40 year old single mom and I just bought a drill on Amazon for things around the house. Thanks to this video I now know how to use it!! Thank you so much!
I have been using drills for as long as I can remember. The first one I had was corded and only had one speed. And every decade or so they add something to the drill. My point being is that when I saw the title for this video I was like, how hard can it be for someone to use a drill ? But as I watched this video, it made me realize how far drills have come, and I was able to learn every new feature one at a time over time as opposed to ALL AT ONCE . So I can see where it might be a little intimidating using one for the first time.
One common beginner's mistake is tightening down on the bit when it is off-center and between two teeth. This is a very easy mistake to make with smaller bits. The bit will wobble, and you may mistakenly think that the bit is bent. You need to make sure that the bit is in the very center and touching all three teeth in the chuck.
Mary Brent, when you tighten until it feels tight but you know it's off center, just loosen the chuck slightly, just until the bit will slip up and down again, then re tighten. It should be right in the middle of all 3 teeth now and be nice and straight.
I bet some people think this video is silly, but it sure wasn't for me! You saved the day and taught me how to use a drill! Thanks so much! Great instruction!
It’s 2018 and this video is still helping us ladies out! My husband never allows me to use his tools but refused to hang my blinds in a timely fashion. So today while he was at work I found the drill and the pieces. I thought I was all set then I hit a road block because I didn’t know how to make it work! Thanks to you my blinds are hung!
I've read thru a few of the comments and many appear to be "I was afraid to ask how to"....Never be fearful or ashamed to ask for help/assistance/instructions.....no one is born with knowledge, we all had to ask or have someone show us how to do just about everything we do in life. This may have been more of a "rambling" then making a comment on the video but "Never be ashamed to ASK a Question!" 😊 Great video/instructions as always April!
thank you so much!! i dont want to have to wait for my dad to do everything. I want to be able to rely on myself to fix things too!! Now you've made it easier for that :)
Can't thank you enough for this tutorial! Wish I would have learned how to use more power tools as I was growing up, but videos like this absolutely save the day!
I came to this video expecting a chuckle, but then I read all of the comments from people who were helped by it, and now I feel kind of ashamed. Everybody has to learn some time. Good video.
Chuckle away! lol I've never used a drill before. I bought mine and there it sat for about a month because I was afraid of it! haha Well now, thanks to this video, I actually plugged it in and put the drill bit in! I'm so proud of myself! LOL Now, we'll see if I can put the hardware onto the back of my new framed picture, so I can actually hang it!
OMG you saved me and my hanging plants!!! YES I couldn't figure out how to get my drill bit to stay until I watched how you explained that you have to make sure the direction is in forward. That tid bit of attention to detail was so great. Thank you!
Awesome you helped me remove my drill bit off my Dewalt hammer drill. Thk You! After watching other people's video they missed a simple detail and you didnt missing any of the details needed to be said. Awesome!!
cool video - most of the other (guy) videos skip out on explaining on the simple stuff, which is no use to me, as I'm a newbie. (especially that auto tightening feature where you hold the chuck down and press the trigger to lock onto the shank)
I just bought my first cordless drill and appreciate your video so much! I feel a lot more confident now & look forward to using it. You did a great job explaining everything concisely & showing us how it works!
You made this video 7 years ago and it still helpful today. Thank you so much I was really struggling and couldn’t find a video that explained it probably. ❣️
I just bought a drill for small jobs around my house. Didn’t know anything about using a drill. This video was short but told me what I needed to know. Totally needed this!!!!
My mom needed help with her drill and I didn't know how to use it either. I didn't know that chuck jaws retract inside of the chuck and so I thought she was missing a connector part until I watched this video. Thank you for the tutorial, it really helped us a lot!! :D
WOW!!! I had no idea that you can adjust the chuck with the power!!! I always turned and turned and turned!! HA HA - what you learn from a professional!! there are always tips to learn! Thank you for this tutorial x
You're the best. I have never even held a drill until today. I went and bought all these tools, so I could learn how to use them, and you have really helped with that! Thanks sis!
Much appreciated ...we are older..hubby has some macular degeneration ..so I got my own lighter weight drill for simple household tasks ...really helped me ..
Brilliant video. While I know how to use one it’s great to have a video I can watch to remind myself the basics as I don’t use one often enough to remember how it works.
Great Video, Ordered me a drill to use as a screw driver, it didn't come with a Manual that made sense, but you video assisted me in a matter of Minutes, Thank You!
Your video was amazing and very informative thank you 😊💕 I was looking at the man’s videos on TH-cam and they do not know how to explain this to a woman 🤦🏻♀️ Thank you!!!!
Thank you for your help, April! I needed to change drill bits, and you showed me just how to do that. You do an excellent job of explaining the process so that it is easily understood by a tool newbie.
I bought my first drill when I was 11 years old. With birthday money from my grandma. Yeah.. I’ve always had an old soul. It’s was an 18 volt black and decker. It served me very well
Thank you, everyone elses viedos were skipping past the obvious bits that I was sturggling with!!! I feel so much better for learning how to do it myself!
Thank you for this helpful video! I was worried that a girly girl like me wont be able to use a drill. Im glad it is explained by female too! You are great! Thx a lot!
Thank you so much!! Your video is exceptionally thorough with crystal clear steps, but yet still quick and to the point. For the past couple of months my husband's been working 7, 12's (actually it was 16 hrs. yesterday 🤪), so unless I want to hand him a to-do list come his 1st day off, that in length, will surely rival our hoilday credit card statement 🤯🤦♀️ lol, I need and also want to learn how to take care of these things myself. I really just want to add that you seem like such a kind person, and your cheerful attitude left me really excited to start fixing and constructing. I'm actually really looking forward to spouting off some of the terminology you explained just to see the look on his face 😲 lol. I never, ever leave comments, but honestly just felt compelled to tell you what a great teacher you are & I've already started checking out your other videos!!🙂 Thanks again....super happy to have found your channel!!
Thank you so much. Not sure how I got to 37 without ever picking up a drill. Watched this and am now just sitting down after finishing a big DIY job, all good!
Hey there April. If you had left your unit about 1/2 to 3/4 inch in on the inside, you could have trimmed it out with regular sanitary or colonial style trim. Simply turn it so the fat side is against your unit and cut the miters. Makes a real clean and nice looking job...very simple.
I liked your comment that it is important to place things back where you found them!!! That is definitly number one on the list of importantcy! The torquefeature that has your powertool is also handy but not basic! Good tutorial that should animate future DIY-s!!!!
Thank you! I couldn't get the chuck to release on my husband's drill at first because I wasn't pushing past the "click" sound. Your video showed that, so I was able to realize that I wasn't turning hard enough.
This a great beginners video. Only thing I missed was the locking mechanism I have on all my drills. I have to hold down a button to lock the chuck, otherwise it just spins when I try to loosen or tighten it. There is a trick to using it on two of my drills (both are bosch, not sure if that is a coincidence): you hold down the lock button lightly while turning your chuck. After about a quarter turn the button depresses further. This is the state you need to keep the button in to lock the chuck.
Hello April, This very good easy to understand so I made all three of my girls watch this they are always wanting to use my tools, they will listen to you much easier than me! Thank You! and what you said about using other peoples tools and putting them back in place that they were! Love you very very helpful.
Been watching your videos for years, and just happened to find this as a suggested video. Amazing how far you've come. Loved your recent Treehouse Deck, that's some amazing craftspersonship
This was really helpful! So do I have to drill a hole before the screw? I wanted to install a drapery rod in my room and I never had my own tools and neither do my parents.
I understand, but try not to look at it that way. Some men will try and belittle you for asking what they consider a simple question, but only a handful. The rest are very willing to pass along any information that they know. I've run across a few men who want to make a joke out of me asking them a simple question and it makes me angrier than anything, however when this happens I know 100% that they are in the wrong. It takes a lot more courage for somebody to admit they don't know something than it does for somebody to make fun of them. So don't let the idiots get you down. ; )
April Wilkerson "Some men will try and belittle you for asking" But those aren't "real" men...it's a good way to weed out the real ones from the posers and Momma's boys. You rock! (what's the clutch for?)
Thanks. I'm hoping that somebody who has never used a drill before could pick one up and at least get going. It's frustrating being a newbie and not being able to find a resource that starts from the absolute beginning.
You´re so right! As a beginning woodworker you will not find very much on youtube. For every other topic you can find infos for newbies. But woodworking... Didn´t realise this, until you said it... remarkable...
Yep, the reason I know is because I was one looking for them! : ) So I'm going to do a how to tool series starting from the very beginning then work up.
I am a qualified joiner and jet i watched a whole video... either i am a really bad joiner or this video is really good. i think its the second option.
Ok so I've been a subscriber of yours for a while now, and I've watched alot of your videos binge watching since I found you but I missed this one! Wish I'd seen it about 10 mins ago while I tried to use the drill to hang curtains! Got the holes crooked but I knew how to use it for the most part. Felt bad. But watching you made me exc in red to use all the tools till I realized I suck at power tools! I'll just keep watching you instead!
Don't give up! I make mistakes all the time but still carry on. Just practice on a scrap board and you'll get the feel for holding the drill straight vs at an angle which results in a little crooked. The more practice, the more confidence you'll feel. I started with small projects and as my confidence and experience grew, then the projects grew. Enjoy being able to do things that make you happy. Cheers!
For people who might be buying a drill, I have found out that tightening a bit in the chuck in this way is easier if the part of the chuck that you grab on to is metal that is knurled. A knurled surface is one that has a pattern of ridges cut into it for easy grasping. The chucks with a plastic grabbing surface tend to slip out of my hands; I found it out the hard way.
i just painted a piece of wood to make a keyholder but was afraid of using a drill because the noise scares me hahaha, thanks for the video, now I have more confidence to use it
As a sheltered guy just now getting out on my own: thank you. The basics without cluttering it with professional minutia. You are actually the best!

Thank you April. You explain and make DIY stuff eaiser.
Much appreciated ...we are older..hubby has some macular degeneration ..so I got my own lighter weight drill for simple household tasks ...really helped me ..

Brilliant video. While I know how to use one it’s great to have a video I can watch to remind myself the basics as I don’t use one often enough to remember how it works.
Thank you very much. After watching the video, I'm still a bit afraid to use it but I will replay this and follow it step-by-step. Great video.
Thank you!!! I needed someone to slow down and explain the chuck! So helpful!!
Great! Glad you found it useful. Thanks for watching.
OMG! Thank you for making it simple. I always used my driver as a drill bc I couldn’t figure out how to make the bits fit! Ugh! So easy! Thank you!,
Great Video, Ordered me a drill to use as a screw driver, it didn't come with a Manual that made sense, but you video assisted me in a matter of Minutes, Thank You!

Thank you so much. Not sure how I got to 37 without ever picking up a drill. Watched this and am now just sitting down after finishing a big DIY job, all good!
Hey there April. If you had left your unit about 1/2 to 3/4 inch in on the inside, you could have trimmed it out with regular sanitary or colonial style trim. Simply turn it so the fat side is against your unit and cut the miters. Makes a real clean and nice looking job...very simple.
I liked your comment that it is important to place things back where you found them!!! That is definitly number one on the list of importantcy! The torquefeature that has your powertool is also handy but not basic! Good tutorial that should animate future DIY-s!!!!

Thank you! I couldn't get the chuck to release on my husband's drill at first because I wasn't pushing past the "click" sound. Your video showed that, so I was able to realize that I wasn't turning hard enough.
April, thanks so much for this tutorial! I watched several videos that did not address my questions before finally coming to yours, which did.
well done...when the battery is run down,I think that's mother nature telling men to have a nap.. best wishes Bill
Bought myself a Porter Cable drill set and I can't wait to have fun learning.
Such relaxing voice. Good teaching. Thanks.
Thanks for helping me with first drilling in life👍
Thank you girl. You’re a lifesaver. Very concise and clear.
Thank you, I had no idea how to lock in the bit. Very helpful
Glad it helped!
This a great beginners video. Only thing I missed was the locking mechanism I have on all my drills. I have to hold down a button to lock the chuck, otherwise it just spins when I try to loosen or tighten it.
There is a trick to using it on two of my drills (both are bosch, not sure if that is a coincidence): you hold down the lock button lightly while turning your chuck. After about a quarter turn the button depresses further. This is the state you need to keep the button in to lock the chuck.
Thank you. This helped me so much. I was struggling!!!
Thank you so much for this video! I bought myself a cordless drill with no clue on how to use it. You're video helped me out so much, thanks again! :)
Finally someone explains it! Appreciate it - love my new DeWalt but dang if I could understand the instructions in 15 different languages :) ...
I am an electrician and I just bought my first drill,it is a Makhita thank you for the help

I guess your channel will be very interesting! I keep on following you, looking forward to your future videos!!
Thank you!! You saved me a trip back to Lowes👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Thank you so much for the common sense approach. Great tutorial. I think you're right - I need practice!
Thank you! Great tutorial for the NOVICE
I am a qualified joiner and jet i watched a whole video... either i am a really bad joiner or this video is really good. i think its the second option.
Ok so I've been a subscriber of yours for a while now, and I've watched alot of your videos binge watching since I found you but I missed this one! Wish I'd seen it about 10 mins ago while I tried to use the drill to hang curtains! Got the holes crooked but I knew how to use it for the most part. Felt bad. But watching you made me exc in red to use all the tools till I realized I suck at power tools! I'll just keep watching you instead!
Don't give up! I make mistakes all the time but still carry on. Just practice on a scrap board and you'll get the feel for holding the drill straight vs at an angle which results in a little crooked. The more practice, the more confidence you'll feel. I started with small projects and as my confidence and experience grew, then the projects grew. Enjoy being able to do things that make you happy. Cheers!
For people who might be buying a drill, I have found out that tightening a bit in the chuck in this way is easier if the part of the chuck that you grab on to is metal that is knurled. A knurled surface is one that has a pattern of ridges cut into it for easy grasping. The chucks with a plastic grabbing surface tend to slip out of my hands; I found it out the hard way.
Best instructions ever. Thank you!!!
Thanks! Glad you found it useful. Thanks for watching.
Very well taught
Thank you this was very useful as I was trying how to put on the screws to the drills and couldn’t find a way to do it
Glad you found it useful. Thanks for watching.
Thanks this was so helpful. I really want to become more handy.
i just painted a piece of wood to make a keyholder but was afraid of using a drill because the noise scares me hahaha, thanks for the video, now I have more confidence to use it
Thanks, April. I got myself a drill, charged it up, and then realized I had no idea how to actually use it. TH-cam to the rescue - again.
