What are the different types of power drills?

There are two main types: cordless and corded. <a href="https://www.homedepot.com/b/Tools-Power-Tools-Drills-Power-Drills/Cordless/N-5yc1vZc7jjZ1z140i3?emt=plpfaq_2501_powerdrills" style="text-decoration: underline;">Cordless drills</a> are great for portability and quick jobs around the house, while <a href="https://www.homedepot.com/b/Tools-Power-Tools-Drills-Power-Drills/Corded/N-5yc1vZc7jjZ1z141kh?emt=plpfaq_2501_powerdrills" style="text-decoration: underline;">corded drills</a> offer more power for heavy-duty tasks.

What is the purpose of a variable speed setting on a power drill?

<a href="https://www.homedepot.com/b/Tools-Power-Tools-Drills-Power-Drills/Variable-Speed/N-5yc1vZc7jjZ1z0o2m7?emt=plpfaq_2501_powerdrills" style="text-decoration: underline;">Variable speed control</a> lets you adjust the drill's speed based on the material you are working with. This helps you avoid damaging soft materials like wood or plastic while providing enough power to drill into tougher materials.
