powerdrill

Motorized hole maker

A powerdrill is an electric or battery-operated tool that rotates a bit at high speed to bore holes in wood, metal, masonry, or other materials.

Unlike a manual drill, a powerdrill does the work with minimal physical effort from the user.

Most have variable speed settings and reversible rotation for driving and removing screws.

I need to grab the powerdrill to hang these shelves.

The tool is a staple of home improvement and construction work.
