Diamond Drills for HAND
HELD DRILLS 
Nothing beats the versatility and ease of use of a Hand Held Drill. Lightweight and portable, the hand held drill can be taken with you anywhere you go. Perfect for use on horizontal surfaces, and outside jobs. An excellent tool for beginning hobbyist, homeowner and construction contractor. Use a hand held drill where a drill press is not feasible.
Selecting the Right Hand Held Drill
Hand Held Drills are available in a wide selection of both corded electric and battery-powered cordless models. The drill type you choose will effect your drilling capability in terms of material and diameter of the hole. The first step in selecting the right hand held drill for your application is determining the size of holes you need to drill and in what materials will you are planning to drill.
Make sure you select the hand held drill that actually has the capacity to do the work you need. Doing so will make your jobs faster and easier. As well as avoid problems such as ruining the diamond drill or material, caused by drilling with the wrong hand held drill or hand held rill without enough capacity.
The following are some of the features you should consider when choosing the right hand held drill for your application:
Capacity
A hand held drill's capacity indicates the largest hole size you can drill. Most hand held drills are ranked according to the maximum diamond drill shank the chuck can hold. Most popular drill shank sizes are 3/8" and 1/2".
Power
Make sure your hand held drill has enough power to use the diamond drill at the recommend RPM. Hand held drills are ranked according to maximum horsepower the motor can give. If your hand held drill does not have enough power, your chuck capacity will be irrelevant. And you will not be able to drill the size of hole and material you need. Before buying a hand held drill, we recommend you compare the horsepower of the drill. By the same token, if you will be working only with small, or soft material, and need to drill only a few holes an inexpensive drill will probably be sufficient for your application. However, if you are planning to drill a large amount of holes, drill hard materials, or make deep holes and need to use your drill often, a more heavy duty and higher powered drill will be required.
When drilling, never force your hand held drills, doing causes a more wear and tear on your drill, than associated with normal usage. Hence, decreasing your machines life and deteriorating future performance.
