What is a drill driver?
A drill driver is an indispensable tool in any toolbox. It’s a machine that combines the functions of both a screwdriver and a drill, which means you get the best of both worlds. You can use the machine for drilling and screwing in different materials, such as wood, metal, and plastic.
A drill driver is a tool that makes many DIY projects a little easier, such as hanging new shelves, installing kitchen cabinets, an so on. The tool is versatile and can be used for a wide range of tasks at home. That makes it a smart and handy tool to have in your toolbox.
Note that for heavy drilling tasks or drilling in very hard materials, you will need to get hold of a powerful impact drill.

How to choose the right drill driver
Not sure which drill driver to choose? We have listed a few factors below that you should consider to choose the right model.
- Machine ergonomics: Consider the ergonomics of the machine. An ergonomic, rubberised grip that fits snugly to your hand can make the work more comfortable and efficient.
- Speed and torque: A machine with several speeds and several torque settings allows you to adjust the output of the machine to both small and large screwing or drilling jobs.
- LED light: A drill driver with a built-in LED light cannot replace a work light, but it can still be of considerable help, since it allows you to work in low-light areas.
It’s a good idea to take the different functions into account to determine which drill driver best suits your needs.
Remember the battery for your new drill driver
If you choose to invest in a battery-powered drill driver, it is important to be aware that some machines come with a battery, while others require you to purchase the battery separately. Either way, it may be a good idea to consider buying an extra battery, because that way you will always have a fully charged battery ready if your machine runs out of power.
At Biltema we have a range of batteries for our various drill drivers.

For how long does a drill driver battery last?
If you choose a battery-powered model, then battery life is a significant factor to consider. It is primarily the capacity of the battery that determines how long you can work with the machine before it needs to be charged.
The capacity is measured in ampere-hours (Ah), and the higher the Ah, the longer you can use your drill driver before it needs to be charged. However, it is important to be aware that there may be differences in battery life from manufacturer to manufacturer. Some specify the minimum battery life, while others specify the maximum.
If you want to ensure that you always have enough power, consider investing in a spare battery. That way you will always have a charged battery ready if your machine suddenly runs out of power.
Don’t forget the accessories for your drill driver
When investing in a drill driver, it is important to also consider the accessories. At Biltema you will find all the accessories you need to get started.
You will need drill bits for drilling holes, and screwdriver bits for screws. Also make sure to have screws and plugs at hand. The screws must match the holes you drill, and plugs are needed to ensure that the screws fasten in the wall.
Having the right accessories is essential for getting the most out of your drill driver. So be sure to invest in quality accessories that match your specific needs and tasks.
