A drill is a tool used to make round holes or to drive fasteners. It is fitted with a drill bit to make holes or a screwdriver bit to drive fasteners, and although drills were historically powered by hand and later by mains electricity, cordless battery-powered drills have become increasingly common because of their efficiency and ease of use.
