Thank you so much. I honestly cant stress enough how "mundane" this info may seem to other peoppe, but not everyone is fortunate enough to have someone around to show them how to do this stuff. Even the smallest things go right over my damn head. So I appreciate this stuff

[@indiascapes]

Amen!

[@determineddetermined3365]

Me!! Lol. I'm so thankful for this video!

[@MrMBEllis]

[@ivyyuuki1805]

Im a 20yo woman who has never even touched a electric drill before becuase I was too scared of them . I managed after 20 minutes to undo the drill bit thanks to this video 😂😂 thank you

[@coffee_lover5394]

I’m a 21 year old guy and well same 😂

[@KissedBliss]

I'm a 61 year old woman. I've used plenty of screw guns but they were always already set up! Lol. I had no idea how to put a bit in! Your video is appreciated

[@wonniewonsyld2407]

I'm recently widowed. My husband had been sick for awhile and I was doing most repair work around the house. But I always got him to change the bits for me. Thank you for this video. I never got around to having him teach me.

[@AWK007]

Wonnie Wonsyld sorry about your husband :-( may he rip :-)

[@FordRanger-ih9wq]

Sorry about your husband ma'am.

[@Snow_Pulse]

Wonnie Wonsyld you a real one

[@shannonraebrown]

That's my story too. I've had to do a lot of TH-cam learning because all the stuff hubs used to do is now my department.

[@ultraviolet5642]

It may be a year later but stay strong!

[@Jean-kl6go]

Well done! I am a senior and live alone and have limited mobility from a stroke I was able to put this together just like that! And I don’t have anyone living with me. Thank you very much.

[@StrangelJean]

thank you!!! I gave up on waiting for my dad to help me install shelves in my new flat so I had NO idea how the drill worked. I started trying to drill a hole using the screwdriver bit… before I realized there must be a way to change it with one of the more useful looking drill bits in the toolbox 😅 and then I needed your video to show me how to do it! thanks!!

[@sy-jt3cp]

Bit, Chuck, Jaws, Collar - i didn't know any of these words before this video. i brought a drill six months ago and finally decided to try to hang my own canvas painting instead of continuing to wait as if helpless for my man or a handy man to do it. even the black and decker website and instructions did not include these basic instructions. for the life of me, i could not figure out how what i now know is called the "drill bit" was supposed to snap in place. this video explained that there are"jaws" that would reveal themselves once i rotated the "collar" and voila!...just like that they did and my small bit was held snugly in place. i hung my large canvas painting perfectly last night and was so utterly proud of myself for learning these few simple things in this short and simple video. just wanted to come here back and say thank you so much for this. never underestimate how such seemingly basic info. is needed by so many!! from the views on this video (over 1.5 million right now), i imagine that you don't! thanks again!

[@Planet_Shel]

This video is so well done. Not only is it informative but, your speaking mannerisms are very relaxing and not condescending to those that don't have a person to help them with this. Thank you!

[@KennTodd117]

I do I’ve never owned a drill before and it’s great to know how to do it right. Thanks for a great post for a newbie.

[@lotusflower1065]

Thanks! I bought a drill to hang my curtains and this was just what I needed to know. Small projects around the house that I can do myself.

[@FreyaGem]

This is exactly what I needed when using a drill for the first time! Thank you!

[@bethemartian538]

I looked at several videos before finding this simple answer. Thank you so much!

[@smtel4903]

Thanks! You speak slow enough for beginners to understand. :)

[@kris1kris1]

never used a drill...never changed a bit....didn’t have a clue what a drill key thingy was!!!..,THANK YOU 👌👌

[@ucheucheuche]

Thumb up 👍🏾, commented, because you're clear, concise, and covered both drill types without rambling!!

[@UberDr009]

Thank you! I felt like such an idiot but then remembered it's hard to learn something without being taught.

[@wahidaibno6203]

Omg thank you so much. I was panicking because i used my dad’s drill and he didn’t know and then the sharp thing came loose lmaoo ur my savior good sir

[@Kuriie]

Came across this while trying out my fiancé’s tools for some things he needed me to get done. Neither of us knew how to use it and so I super appreciate the new-user friendly video. :-)

[@andyjones3972]

Thank you so much. I am a school teacher in Miami, turned into maintenance guy... making same amount of money as a teacher but without any stress or mistreatment from school system. Never touched a drill in my life. I watched your video and I am doing great!
Thank you so much,.God bless

[@rockeysingh8841]

Thanks. Explanations is short brief and to the point. All other video -ers should take a pattern from you.

[@anneevanson9836]

Thank you! Just what I needed for my older drill.

[@PiercedInkedBlatino]

Literally Just Worked For Me. My Drill Set Just Arrived & This Video Was A Complete Stress & Time Saver. Thanks Much!!!

[@huckleberry2312]

Exactly what I needed to see! Thank you!

[@aslanking6785]

Thank you for uploading this video!
I am about to buy a new model drill because I don’t think there’s any teaching for handling a dinosaur drill I found in basement. You did teach! So I have no problem to change a bit for that tough bulky dinosaur! Thanks

[@R.Einzbern]

Finally someone explaining the basic stuff for a noob like me... I browsed so many useless videos that were supposedly for beginners and I couldn’t figure out how to install these parts :(

[@angelicabass3755]

Great video. Easy to follow. Really needed to know how to change drill bits thanks

[@moroteseoinage]

Wow. I take knowing this for granted. I can’t fathom not having mechanical experience or intuition. Good on ya for understanding the needs of others.

[@saintrokko]

Thanks for the video, I felt like an idiot for a long time

[@deanfreedman2828]

This video shows how to insert a drill bit, not actually how to change one, which would also show how to remove the bit. It does a good job of showing how to insert a drill bit into either a keyless or key type chuck.

[@TheJestersYarn]

Yeah the bits already in there... Now if someone could just tell me how to get it out, so I can put a different bit in

[@mulliganstew72]

Mine doesn’t have a keyless chuck… What do I do?

[@steffierika9578]

Nice! Very helpful and comprehensable! Thankyou so much for this video!

[@AKGDirector]

You are the man thank you sooo much for this video. I have always wanted to one day build my own home, yes I am a woman but I have always loved building things and working with my hands. I started to fix things for people in my family, like tables or bookshelves that they purchased but couldn't put together. at first they laughed at me because I love getting and keeping buy nails pretty. And they would all ask, how are you going to do this work with those pretty nails. lol! simple when I am building for fixing something, I love it so much that in that moment I don't care about my nails I just want to build. I finally purchased my first drill, while fixing things for others I usually just used what they have in their homes. anyway this video was very useful to me and encouraging, my pretty nails will not stop or get in the way of my building my projects. 😊

[@snowieaura]

thank you so much sir you are helping fatherless children

[@AnneMichaelRenee7]

Thank you for your simple and precise explanation of how to install a bit.👍🏽👏🏽 There’s a woman who went so fast for this explanation I had to keep myself from getting angry.😡 She then said the next part about increasing the drilling power might be hard to understand which that part is simplistic!!! Again thank you so much. 🙏🏾Trying to put up a security camera. No drill experience!!!👷🏾‍♀️🔩🧱🪛

[@rockler]

Glad to hear we could help! 💙

[@Deb-fs9st]

Thank you, I'm a 63 years old and putting up a towel rack. I knew how to do everything except put the drill bit in the drill. Thanks ✌🏽

[@hannafazz2153]

I'm a woman, who had no idea how any of this works...thanx to souls like yrself...I'm learning 'bits'..I have a child with severe autism who kind of breaks something every other day (wardrobe doors latch etc2...and a nail and screw wouldn't do it, got my self a hand drill set and thank god..I'm much more learned with all this videos...thank you so very much!

[@that_emo_girl]

[@user-fo6hx5jy2p]

Thank you so much, I can get my pictures up on the walls.

[@pickledjalapeno9482]

It's no big deal, but made holes in my flower pots... hanging mugs next!
Thank you!!
My other half used to do EVERYTHING (except fix the running toilet... that was all me, hahaha).

[@emerycomputer]

thanks for the info. question: do you push the bit in all the way in until it makes contact with the base of the chuck or leave it 'hanging'? For smaller vs larger bits?

[@Alexthe360Great]

You have no idea how helpful this is. Thank you so much. Subbed.

[@happyface2373]

It’s so easy to forget when you don’t use the drill for a while thank you

[@JeremyCrescendo]

Thanks . Doing apartment maintenance. First day alone on the job . Thanks

[@sharonleary7765]

Thank you so much! Seems so simple but not when you have no one to show you. Now I can finish my project!! fiish

[@nonamesally3221]

My husband is gone for the day and im trying to get a few things on the honey-do list done, I felt so stupid when this stopped me 🤣 thank you

[@carln550]

[@yesyoga]

Thank you! Seemingly common knowledge is not so for many of us. Helpful video. 😉

[@debih2109]

First time buying a drill (and I'm overseas so no help from mom and dad!) And these were the clearest instructions I've seen, in particular where you show the how to tighten the..... Chuck? Anyway thank you! I can use my drill now!

[@valenteruiz1470]

I was about to return a hand drill and then I found this video. Thank you. I learned something new.

[@determineddetermined3365]

[@mikeb497]

Bruh I just bought this cordless keyless drill and was thinking "damn they forgot to package in the tip thingy." I was about to return it to Amazon and ask for a replacement lol. Thank you for the video

[@veronicaosornio4735]

Thank YOU!!!

[@michellem5647]

Wow this helps a lot just bought my first cordless drill & was not sure how to change out bits. I’m actually surprised they don’t just pop in & out like in my cordless screwdriver

[@tazmik18]

Thank you so much for this video ❤❤❤❤ i was frustrated because i didnt know how to put a bit on it. 😂😂😂

[@eleseclarke6038]

This has helped me so much

[@christopherboucher2887]

I know it seems like common sense but for a lot of beginners starting out it's a good point to mention, don't forget to remove the chuck key before you turn your machine on. Saw quite a few airborne keys courtesy of beginners on metal lathes in my highschool shop class 😜

[@jacejohnson2]

Thank you so much! I never learned this.

[@user-dz6sy7ou5i]

that’ was a big help thanks a lot

[@SB-qz8xs]
