I really think there are more uses for the word "Drill" than a Radiohead album. This should probably be a disambiguation page rather than a redirect. -- Zoe

Continued the rewrite and in the process split drilling material off to drilling, it was a redirect to here. — Graibeard 15:27, 9 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Masonry Drill vs. Hammer Drill
Is a masonry drill different to a hammer drill? I'm not familiar with the term masonry drill - in Australia we would use the term Masonry Drill Bit or just Masonry Bit to describe the tungsten tipped bits - but the drill itself is a hammer drill or a rotary hammer drill depending on type. We have a link to hammer drill further down the page, so I'd like to put that link under masonry drill if they are the same thing. SilentC 22:45, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
- Agreed. I've edited that section to suit (quicker than explaining here plus I had some woeful spuling errors :). Push and shove the remainder to suit. Thinking about what you've said, I think this page should have a small (stubbish) section on hammer drills as a type, with a {{main|hammer drill}} link to the page. — Graibeard 23:42, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
- I added a shortish bit on hammer drill with a link to the main article. Also changed roto-hammer drill to rotary hammer drill because I suspect that roto-hammer is a product name and rotary hammer is the generic term (mine is a Ramset Rotary Hammer Drill) by all means change back if I've got that wrong. I put roto-hammer in as an aka. SilentC 03:02, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
Um, what is the difference between a [[hammer drill] and a roto-hammer drill? From the descriptions, they seem to be the same thing — namely, both rotate the drill bit while banging on it. Perhaps it is a marketing or geographic distinction? Jorge Stolfi 00:41, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
- No, although they serve a similar function - rotating the drill while banging on it as you put it - they achieve this in quite different ways. SilentC 01:33, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] image
He is not wearing eye protection, which should always be used when operating power equipment. Are you kidding me?! He is using a battery powered drill (not an electric drill, this implys a drill plugged into a wall socket). It is superfluous to wear protective gear when using such a tool. Can I remove this; what is the general thought? MHDIV ɪŋglɪʃnɜː(r)d(Suggestion?|wanna chat?) 20:17, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
- I wholeheartedly agree. I'll even beat you to the punch and remove it myself. - Toastydeath 22:10, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
- So what? This is an encyclopedia, not a safety lecture. You should not look here to figure out how to safely operate tools. Some of these articles are so overloaded with safety stuff; take for example angle grinder. --Allyn 02:45, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
I love the picture of the kid using the drill. You can clearly see the drill, but the picture is dynamic rather than static. It's a much more interesting picture than just a "here is a drill" picture. 24.145.5.68 (talk) 00:38, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] NiCd
I've removed discussion of memory effect with NiCd cells because this is not a significant issue. Although memory effect exists, it is widely misdescribed. In fact it is a fairly rare phenomenon, and not a significant issue. It has however sold equipment, which may explain its sudden popularisation after years of rarely getting a mention. Anyway, its incidence is lost among the noise of NiCd failure, which is of course a widespread issue. Tabby (talk) 22:49, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
