Safety Tip For Hand Drills

Safety Tip For Hand Drills SECURITY/SAFETY Ideas 32-3-39 A bad experience led Tom Christensen of Blackfoot, Idaho, to come up with a safety tip he wanted to share with FARM SHOW readers. "I broke my big 1/2-in. side angle drive drill but the damage could have been prevented if I had thought of this idea sooner," he says. "Maybe I can prevent other broken drills and even some broken wrists." The problem he's talking about is when a drill bit binds up and the drill itself starts spinning in your hands. The solution is to plug the drill into an extension cord and then stand on the end of the cord, adjusting the length of the drill cord in your hand so that when the drill starts to counter rotate, it will unplug itself immediately."
