Bit by Bit: An Introduction to Drills

Let's talk about drills!

Take this drill intensive to gain confidence and comfort with using a drill.

• What’s an impact driver? 
• What’s a bit?
• What do those numbers mean on the front of the drill?
• How do I use it safely? 
• Why is there a picture of a hammer on some drills

We will answer these questions and have lots of “hands-on” practice drilling into wood, drywall and concrete.

Bring your own drill if you have one (even if you have to wipe the cobwebs off) and we will get you drilling, baby!

While this class is designed for women, all genders are welcome!
