Angle drills and other angle drilling tools
Angle drill is a type of electric tool designed to drill holes in hard-to-reach places. There are 2 types of angle drills - compact and voluminous. Compact is intended for the assembly of furniture and other interior items. It has a small size and relatively small power. Volumetric - a screwdriver with a powerful engine and high torque. Mainly used in construction and repair work.
Main characteristics
Angle drill has the following characteristics, which the buyer should pay attention to when choosing:
- weight;
- the number of revolutions;
- power;
- availability of battery power.
Weight the average model of the screwdriver should be equal to 1.2-1.7 kg. Please note that the large weight of the device affects not only the convenience of use, but also other important characteristics.
Battery is an additional advantage, which will allow to avoid messing with wires. After all, an angular cordless drill, first of all, should be convenient for work in hard-to-reach places. Usually cordless screwdrivers are a bit more expensive than wired counterparts.
Number of revolutions directly depends on the power of the screwdriver. On some models, an additional speed adjustment feature is installed. With the help of a special lever, you can set the required number of revolutions within the limits allowed by the device. This function allows you to adjust the instrument to the characteristics of the material with which the manipulation is performed.
If you do not plan to buy such a screwdriver, the angle nozzle on the drill is an excellent solution that will allow you to work with a conventional tool in hard-to-reach places. Corner adapters vary in color and size, so it’s easy to find the right fit for you.
Pneumatic devices
Pneumatic screwdriver is a special kind of electrical apparatus that can significantly reduce the amount of time and effortspent on drilling holes of different diameters. There are both straight and angled pneumatic tools. If you are the owner of a direct pneumatic model, you can purchase an adapter for an angle drill, which allows you to work in a confined space.
The main positive qualities of pneumatic tools include:
- smaller size;
- increased power;
- lack of sparking;
- easy repair;
- long service life.
No sparking allows the use of pneumatic devices in areas with increased likelihood of fires and explosions. With frequent use, such devices wear out much less than usual, which is a big plus for those who plan long-term repair work.
Not inferior in technical characteristics, pneumatic equipment has a smaller size and weight, which undoubtedly affects the ease of operation.
Despite all the positive qualities, such a device has one significant drawback in the form large initial investment for the purchase of all necessary equipment.But, due to the high performance and efficiency of such a device, all costs quickly pay for themselves.
