How to Choose the Right Drill for Every Task

How to Choose the Right Drill for Every Task

Each task requires a different type of drill, depending on the material you want to drill, the power required and the features you prefer. It is therefore essential that you understand the differences between the various models to make the best decision.

 

Types of VITO Drills: What is the Difference?

VITO offers a wide range of drills, from basic models for home use to professional options for intensive work. These are the main types:

Corded Drills: Ideal for tasks that require continuous use, guaranteeing greater durability and constant performance. Powered by electric current, this type of drill from VITO is available in 600W, 850W and 1050W, depending on the drilling power required by the material.

Battery-powered Drills: They offer freedom of movement and are perfect for working in hard-to-reach places or far from power sockets. This tool is cordless, so it is easy to transport. It is a machine powered by a lithium battery with no memory effect, guaranteeing greater durability and long-term efficiency. This type of drill is available in different voltages (14V and 18V), depending on the strength of the material you want to drill.

Drills with Impact/Hammer function: Equipped to drill through harder materials such as concrete or stone, combining power and versatility.

Brushless Drills: More durable and efficient, with less maintenance and a longer service life.

 

2. Identify the Task and the Material

  • Wood and Plastic: A simple drill, such as VITO's low-power models, is sufficient for drilling or screwdriving.
  • Metal: Look for models with higher torque and adjustable speeds, such as VITO's Brushless options, to guarantee precision and strength.
  • Concrete or Masonry: Percussion drills are indispensable, providing extra strength for drilling through dense materials.

 

3. Features to Consider

  • Variable speed: The rotation can be adjusted for different types of material.
  • Reversible mode: Essential for screwing or unscrewing.
  • Ergonomics: VITO's compact and lightweight designs ensure greater comfort during prolonged use.
  • Compatibility with EGO batteries: VITO offers options with interchangeable 20V batteries, allowing a single battery to be used in several machines within the same range.

 

4. Choice Based on Frequency of Use

If you intend to use the drill occasionally, a basic or intermediate model will suffice. For regular or professional work, it is worth investing in a high-performance model, such as VITO's 20V Brushless combi drills, which combine power and durability.

With the diversity of models available, VITO offers solutions for all needs. Identify the task, material, and frequency of use to choose the most suitable drill.
