Video: How to Use your Drill’s Transmission Switch

In the second Drill/Driver 101 video for This Old House, Mark shows you how to set the transmission switch on LOW to gain more control when getting a screw started and finishing it off at the correct depth. Higher settings are handy for countersinking, drilling small holes, and completing bigger jobs quickly—but at the risk of more mistakes.

• Set the correct drill speed for your project
• Get better control with a lower speed setting
• Use high speed for smaller-diameter holes
