Do a Cordless Drill Comparison before Buying A Cordless Drill Diver as a Gift

I want to give a cordless drill driver as a present. Before buying the drill I decided to do a cordless drill comparison to make sure the recipient gets a cordless drill driver that meets his needs.

I have been looking at cordless power tool combo kits and saw that one of the major differences in cordless drill drivers is the battery. I decided that the first part of my cordless drill comparison would be to take as look at what makes a lithium ion (Li-ion) battery different than a Nicad battery. For this cordless drill comparison I decided that the chemical difference wasn't important to me. What mattered was why an Li-ion battery may be better than a nicad battery.

My cordless drill comparison came up with 2 major reasons. Li-ion batteries weight is about half that of a nicad battery. In other words when you hold a 18 volt lithium ion powered cordless drill driver over your head you will notice a major difference in the weight over that of a 18 volt nicad drill driver. This cordless drill comparison showed that Lithium-ion batteries hold a charge a lot longer than a nicad battery. A fully charged Lithium-ion batteries can hold a charge for up to a year.

My cordless drill comparison did clarify to me that when comparing drills its important to compare cordless drills with similar power. Power wise a 12 volt Nicad battery has the same power as a 12 volt Lithium ion battery and a 18 volt nicad battery has the same power as a 18 volt Li-ion battery. So don't expect the same torque found in a 18 volt nicad cordless drill from a new 12 volt li-ion cordless drill driver.

My cordless drill comparison showed many cordless drills are now listed as drill drivers instead of just a cordless drill. Cordless drill drivers have a clutch. The clutch controls the amount of torque applied. When the preset resistance has been reached It disengages the drill driver's drive shaft making a clicking sound. By setting the clutch correctly you won't strip a screw or overdrive it once it's snug. So its important to pay attention to the clutch settings so you are able to take advantage of clutch and not strip the screws.

Also, part of my cordless drill comparison is also to check the number of clutch settings each drill driver has. My cordless comparison also revealed that most cordless drill drivers have keyless chucks that are tightened by hand, no chuck key to loose. Keyless chucks are usually 3/8 inch or 1/2 inch. This cordless drill comparison also revealed some consumer level cordless drill drivers have keyless chucks that only take quick connect bits. So since I'm buying the cordless drill driver as a gift I'm making sure what type of bits the recipient uses.

I concluded through this cordless drill comparison that the most important feature to consider is how the drill feels in your hand. Does the drills point straight ahead without tipping up or down? Is it too heavy working overhead? Since the drill I'm buying is a gift I'm checking return policies before I buy, especially if I'm buying online.

Besides helping me discover what cordless drill to buy as a gift, my cordless drill comparison helped me to better understand my tool. I now know how and why to use the clutch settings and am now taking the time to set it correctly.

Why do I slice with my big clubs?

I hit perfectly straight with my 3 through LW but when i get to my woods, hybrids or driver i have a bad slice. I now stand aiming to the left and that straightens the shot a bit but is there a certain drill I can do to help? I read other tips and even have had 3 instructors but they slow teach me so they can rack up $$$. Help please sometimes I find myself teeing off with my 3 iron and that just aint right when i'm on a par 5.

If the ball is starting off straight, which it sounds like if you are deliberately aiming left, then you are leaving your club face open at impact. The lower the loft the more exaggerated the effect of the slice.
There are numerous causes for the open club face, here are some of the most likely:
1) Weak grip, strengthen it by showing more knuckles on the left hand
2) Not releasing the club through impact, this is a timing and tempo thing (can be mental thing too). Playing against a strong left side will often help get the club head through properly.
3) Too flexible a shaft, how fast do you swing, how far do you hit a driver when it goes straight? A good guidance if you hit it 250+ then perhaps consider a stiff shaft.

Confidence is a tough thing to develop but can have a huge effect as you tend to relax and don't try and force things.

Hope this helps.
