Learning the basics of how to use a power drill is the gateway to being able to fix and hang most things in your home.

Whether you’re a DIY enthusiast or looking to expand your professional toolkit, this course will provide you with the right foundation to get started with power drilling.
The sense of satisfaction and empowerment you can get from grasping the basics is amazing. Our Power Drill course will demystify and simplify all the functions and pieces of a power drill set.
Some theory, but mostly practical, throughout this course you will put your new skills safely into practice by drilling into multiple materials, and building your very own wooden bird box.
