Drill, impact drill or angle grinder: which tool for which job?

The right power tool saves time and protects your work. Here's a quick guide.

  • Drill machine: holes in wood, metal and plastic, and driving screws. Good for furniture, fittings and light jobs.
  • Impact drill (hammer drill): adds a hammering action for brick and concrete. Use it for wall plugs, anchors and site work.
  • Angle grinder: cutting and grinding metal, tile and stone, and smoothing welds. Fit the right disc and keep the guard on.
  • Safety first: wear eye protection and gloves, and unplug the tool before changing a bit or disc.
