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.
In this practical hands on workshop, run by tutors from How To Basically, you will learn the proper techniques for operating and maintaining a power drill.
Topics covered include safety precautions, drill bit selection, and basic drilling skills. Upon completion of this course, you will have the knowledge and skills necessary to confidently and safely use a power drill for various projects.
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.
