THANK YOU.... you are much nicer than my Husband at explaining this! LOL!!!! His idea of a SAW is a chain saw! Hence the lack of him teaching me how to use tools! AND I grew up with a Father who was a contractor his whole life and built amazing things! But I’m 64 and back then girls DID NOT TOUCH THE TOOLS... WE MADE

I am sooo excited about your new channel!

You're literally such a helpful person for a single mom trying to fix a door hinge on my pantry 😂 much respect!!! We got this 👍🏾

Thank you. I felt very basic trying to work the drill and get the bit in… I got to your video last as I went thru many with men and they didn’t illustrate snapping the bit in

You took the time to explain the method…… THANK YOU! Thank you! Something so simple to most men is not to me….. I’ve never picked up any power tool in my life

[sesshen]

THANK YOU!! I had no idea how to insert the drill bit

[thesweetness]

[brown_eyed_girl]

Thank you! I was wondering why my screw wouldn’t stay in the drill bit 🤣

[bellinhacompany]

I open and close the chuck by hand but if you use the trigger and hold it, make sure the speed switch on the top is in the 1 position 😉

[susanlacy]

Thanks for the video! I learned a few things, hopefully no more stress!😅

[lashonearl]

Thanks for this info. I’m a woman that has a tool bag etc ..this was very helpful. I just got me a power drill so this was awesome info!The RYOBI’s are nice as well!

[PeterSimmonsonline]

Thanks Cornella, That was so helpful. I’ve been using drills all my life but my old drill was one of the old-fashioned ones without a clutch and the battery and all this stuff and the instruction manual is impossible. So you gave me the basics just when I need them thank you so much!

[AdrienneMint]

Very helpful! I’ve never used a tool before but I’d like to be able to do things myself and not call the super all the time. Thanks for this!
