power drill
Motorized hole maker
A power drill is a handheld tool with a motor that rotates a bit for drilling holes or driving screws.
Unlike manual drills, power drills do the work mechanically—either corded or battery-powered.
Most models have variable speed and a chuck that accepts different bit sizes.
I need to grab the power drill to hang these shelves.
