Drill attachments have turned this tool into a universal assistant. Thanks to these removable devices, you can not only make holes, but also cut building materials, mix mixtures evenly, and also treat the surfaces of products made of plastic, wood, metal and concrete. This article describes the main types of nozzles, their characteristics and scope of application.
Thanks to a variety of attachments, the drill turns into a universal tool
The drill attachment will help you make a square hole for a socket in 30 seconds
English engineers presented a device for quickly drilling square and rectangular holes in plasterboard walls for flush-mounted electrical installation products (sockets, switches, dimmers, etc.).
The Quadsaw device is simply inserted into the drill, after which you can start working. Thanks to four particularly strong blades and a built-in level, an even square (7.5 × 7.5 cm) hole of the required depth with absolutely smooth edges is obtained in the wall.
If necessary, the blades can be rearranged and a rectangular hole can be cut for a double electrical box.
For professional craftsmen, the cutting process takes from 6 to 10 seconds, for less experienced ones it will take no more than 30 seconds.

The wood splitter attachment will help you quickly “chop” wood chips and split small logs of wood.
A special chipping attachment for the drill will help you quickly complete the task, without the risk of injury. It is made in the image and likeness of a wedge-shaped cleaver, which in ancient times was used to split firewood with a hammer. The attachment is threaded for greater efficiency and works in tandem with an electric or cordless tool for increased performance.
This cone-shaped device, inserted into a drill or screwdriver, easily splits dry logs at low speeds and can also chop small logs.
A chipper with a length of 200 mm and a diameter of 40 mm weighs 900 g. The two-start thread takes up approximately half the entire length of the nozzle, fits perfectly into the log and quickly cuts it into chips.
The product is made of high-strength steel ST45 and has a hardened tip.
The nozzle is equipped with a special adapter that allows you to easily insert it into the chuck of a drill or screwdriver.
Price: 990 rub.

Tips for use
Do you use drill attachments?
Constantly! I want to try
Different materials and tip types require specific grinding speeds. It corresponds to the number of revolutions of the tool. Therefore, for efficient operation, you should choose a drill with a wide range of motor speeds.
The simple structure of many equipment elements allows you to make them yourself. This is especially true for drum and soft tips, as well as disc models with attached sanding sheets.
For the convenience of performing tasks, you can also create a special holder that fixes the drilling unit parallel to the table, which will allow you to use it as a machine for sharpening and grinding.
A large assortment of various accessories for drills helps you save on the purchase of expensive devices that perform similar functions. This allows you to perform a wide range of tasks at home using one device.
An attachment with a set of blades turns a drill or screwdriver into a reciprocating saw

Advantages and disadvantages of a homemade stand
A homemade drill stand has a number of advantages, the most significant of which include the following:
- manufacturing such a drilling machine costs much less than purchasing a serial model of such a device;
- You can make such a tripod for a drill from improvised materials, using components from old and unused equipment, which can always be found in any garage or home workshop;
- drawings of similar devices of various designs and even video instructions for their manufacture are in the public domain, finding them will not be difficult;
- If you wish, you can always create a machine from a drill of your own design, which in its characteristics and ease of use will surpass all existing models.
The simplest factory rack made in China can be bought very inexpensively (from 1,200 rubles), but its functionality and quality will not satisfy all craftsmen - too often there are complaints about significant play in budget models
But, of course, making your own device for securing a drill also has its disadvantages, which include the following:
- in order to produce some parts of such racks, the use of lathes, welding and other equipment is required, which naturally increases their cost;
- due to the fact that the structural elements of such drilling devices are not fitted very well, play often occurs in them, and this negatively affects the accuracy and quality of the processing performed with their help;
- a homemade stand for a drill is quite limited in its functionality; for example, it cannot be used to make holes located at an angle.
Attachment for shaped cutting of metal and plastic products
The Australian company Canibble offers to use its original development for cutting sheet metal - nibblers, which are an attachment to a drill.
The new product is attached to any standard drill installed in a drill chuck and converts its rotational movements into reciprocating ones, allowing you to cut steel, copper, brass, PVC and aluminum, polycarbonate and other sheet materials with a thickness of no more than 2 mm.
Due to its maneuverability and minimal turning radius (8 mm), the nozzle makes it possible to make not only straight, but also curved, round and even ornate cuts in products of various shapes and configurations. It leaves no burrs or sharp edges at the work site, ensuring the cleanest possible cut.
The cutting speed with nibblers directly depends on the speed of the drill used, however, it is not recommended to use a tool with a productivity of more than 3000 rpm.
In addition to the attachment, the manufacturer offers special clamps that allow you to comfortably hold the drill in your hands while cutting materials, or permanently mount it on the work table.

Nozzle for restoring broken threads
The mechanical connection using a bolt and nut provides a very secure fastening. However, it happens that an “unbreakable union” between them becomes impossible due to corrosion or any damage. Let's say it is almost impossible to screw a nut onto a bolt if the first few turns of thread on it are broken or rusted.
The developers of a special attachment for a Uniburr drill or screwdriver assure that it will significantly simplify the process of thread restoration, and will also help chamfer any products: stainless steel bolts, copper pipes, round and square rods made of brass and aluminum, fittings, wooden blanks and plastic parts. The new product is not suitable only for products made of chromium and molybdenum.
The attachment is made of strong steel and is compatible with any drill and screwdriver. The main thing is to work with the tool at low speeds (up to 400/min), since high rotation speeds can lead to premature failure.
Uniburr is designed for repairing knocked threads and is not suitable for fully threading the entire length of a bolt.
This device simplifies the repair process, reduces the time required to clean the thread, and also allows you to repair it by removing burrs where it was previously impossible to reach.
Price: 3500 rub.

Angle adapter - general information
It is designed for drilling holes/screwing in fasteners in places where it is impossible to position the working device at a normal angle, in other words, in confined spaces. The body of this nozzle is characterized by the presence of elements placed at an angle of 90 degrees. In this case, only the drive spindle and the working part holding the drill/bit are located inside the adapter.
Directly on the body there is a part for installing the adapter at a right angle, in which the rotary bushings are located one inside the other. They are installed inside the housing. This position ensures proper rotation and does not produce excessive noise.
In order to perform special types of work, for example, to tighten screws into a soft base, it is also possible to use a hand tool, for example, an angled screwdriver.
Device for converting a drill into a circular saw and grinder
A special adapter can turn the drill not only into a real circular saw, but also into a grinder.
The device consists of a clamp that securely fixes the drill, a mount for a gear wheel or grinding wheel, and a platform measuring 75 × 85 × 11 mm, which is screwed to the surface of the work table.
All adapter parts are made of metal and are particularly durable.
Having such a device in his arsenal, the master, in addition to the drill, receives two more useful tools: a circular saw and a grinder.
Price - about 800 rubles.
