In construction and repair, there is always a reason to use a drill driver. But how to choose a tool, taking into account the diversity offered by various concerns. The functionality of the drills is almost the same, as is the set of additional devices. Tools vary in price and quality, and low cost does not always signal unsuitability.
Take, for example, the ZUBR drill driver from a Russian manufacturer, which is chosen by most professional builders for its smooth operation and comfortable operation. However, for a simple layman, such a characteristic will seem too generalized. But the rating of high-quality models will help you better understand what a tool is, and also tell you which tool is better to buy.

The drill "ZUBR" received positive reviews because it copes well with the task even in severe frost and difficult weather conditions. The manufacturer produces models such as:
On sale you can find a mini version of the tool. The popularity of the models is ensured by the fact that with a low weight, the drill will work smoothly for about 5 hours. But you should not get carried away and forget about the rules of operation, since overheating is fraught with sad events.
How is a screwdriver different from a drill? By its purpose. A screwdriver twists and unscrews the bolts, small self-tapping screws. The main task of the drill is to make a hole of the right size in a specific place. But if you purchase a combined model, then it is enough to change the drill bit so that the tool turns from a drill into a screwdriver, and vice versa.
Plug-in models are equipped with a sufficiently long cord. So you can do without extension cords, moving freely over a large area. Since the length of the cord is enough for quiet work at a remote distance from the outlet.
Drill "ZUBR" is percussion and unstressed, based on the mechanism of work. The former weigh up to 3.3 kg, so it is not so easy to manage them, especially for an inexperienced master. They are used for drilling hard materials (metal bases). Impact gears are made of chrome alloy, therefore they are characterized by increased wear resistance.
The weight of hammerless drills is more acceptable - does not exceed 1.3 kg. Models are used for timber and plastic.It is convenient to work with a drill due to the regulator, which is a trigger. If you press it with different force, then the speed of rotation of the drill changes.
A slow-speed drill is used for threading, mixing mixtures and drilling large holes. It is used when the maximum torque of the tool is strictly prohibited. Low-speed model withstands heavy loads for a long time. A resourceful drill, although it is very popular, has one significant drawback - a low-powered engine.

The principle of operation of a hammerless drill can be guessed from the name of the tool. The drill makes only rotational movements.

The number of strokes per minute is determined by the purpose of the drill. The minimum power is 550 watts, and the maximum is 1100 watts. Each model has a different setting. A strong blow is provided by increasing power.
All models are available with a reverse function, so you can not be afraid that the drill will get stuck in the work surface. The maximum drilling diameter depends on the type of material to be drilled. If it is a tree, then the parameter is 35 mm. When drilling concrete and metal, the diameter is from 10 to 16 mm.
The main purpose of the tool is to drill holes in different materials. But the execution of the task is determined by the model. The scope and method of using the drill significantly expands the set of additional options.
Need to make a hole in a not very dense material? Then it is better to use an unstressed type of tool. To drill through thick wood or concrete, you need a drill from the Master series, which is ideal for domestic use. The percussion tool will cope with surfaces that are dense in structure.
The key cartridge is provided in all ZUBR tools. It may be needed when drilling metal or heavy concrete, when it fixes the drill. In hammerless models, this function is performed by a keyless chuck. But the latter provides not so much a reliable fixation.
