Purchasing The Right Drill It is vital when purchasing a drill to choose the right one with the functionalities that you require to complete individual tasks along with the drill bits – equally as vital for the materials you are drilling into. My advice for anyone about to purchase a drill would be


to buy an 18v lithium ion battery cordless drill driver with hammer action. This is the best size for doing most medium to light weight tasks around the house. This will allow you to use the drill for three basic types of drilling which will


get you around most all common tasks within the house from fitting kitchens, bathrooms to general mainte nance and DIY. This will allow you to drill holes through hard and soft materials, wood,


plastic, masonry, brick, blocks, plasterboard and even ceramic tiles as well as using the drill as a cordless screwdriver. Upon close examination of the drill you will find various symbols displayed;


the shape of a hammer which is for using masonry drill bits for drilling hard surfaces like brick blocks, tiles and plasterboard. A cork screw shape setting – for a standard drill piece which will drill through softer materials like wooden skirting board, doors, frames etc as well as numbers. These numbers indicate torque settings for when using it as a cordless


screwdriver. The lower the number is the shallower it will drive the screw in, the higher the number the deeper it will drive the screw in. You will also have buttons for forward and reverse settings, again for when


using as a screwdriver to insert a screw or remove an existing screw. When choosing your drill the battery is quite important, I would always


recommend the new lithium ion batteries for various reasons; these are smaller and more compact, lighter, last longer and are better for the environment than traditional ni-cad batteries.

Stay warm by getting fleeced


this winter The weather may be unpredictable but being warm throughout the winter months needn’t be. Dickies’ sensational


range of winter warmers includes a range of gorgeously comforting fleeces such as the Brookton, which is perfect when you need lots of pockets: there’s one on the sleeve, one on the chest and another two hip pockets. Part of the ever-


popular two-tone range is the Two- Tone Micro Fleece. With a close fit and a handy thumb hole on the cuff it’s perfect for layering. The Eisenhower


fleece is bonded with Sherpa lining and comes with knitted cuffs and hem, side handwarmer pockets and contrast fabric panels on the sleeves. The most versatile winter garment must be the 3 in 1 Abbot jacket. It is


waterproof, has a zip guard, concealed hood, reflective piping and a micro fleece inner jacket. The inner and outer jackets can be worn separately. For more information visit www.dickiesworkwear.com
