Drill Accessories: Which Ones to Choose and Buy
It's not enough to have drill bits for drilling extremely hard metals: to make the drill special you need also the right accessories. That is, elements that you buy and mount on the power tool - or near this tool - to increase its performance.
A hammer drill can do things that a drill will never be able to perform (here's how to choose the first one) despite any additions but I assure you that with a good selection of extra elements the drill can help you with truly important work. Do you want to take a look at this list? Here's what must never be missing from your workshop when you check the best drill accessories.
Here are the first 3 essential elements
Let's start from the base: which drill accessories must never be missing from your toolbox or that you need to mount on the power tool as soon as possible? The first is the auxiliary handle to improve the two-handed grip: you work better, there's more comfort in the way you drill, you don't get tired on longer work. Then you need a spare chuck.
It can happen at any time that you find a blocked mechanism: a few steps and you change it without losing operability. Third essential accessory: an extension. This allows you to operate even at great distance from the electrical outlet.
Accessories for drilling with precision
How to help your drill work better on surfaces? For example, how to drill wood with precision? One of the first points to consider when you buy drill accessories is the template. That is the mask that allows you to maintain maximum precision in drilling. There are different models, there's a solution proposed by Krino with suction cup to make precise holes in tiles. Perhaps to be used with the excellent GRESMASTER porcelain stoneware bit. Here are the links to remember:
There are other drill guides and masks to position the drill the right way. It all depends on the work you need to do, there are perfect solutions for drilling on perpendicular surfaces as well as on curved ones or with 90° angle.
Transform manual drill into column
One of the most widespread and used accessories: a vise to transform your standard, manual drill into a column model. It is a mechanism that allows you to fix the power tool in vertical position for drilling. A fundamental premise: an accessory like this will never be able to transform a manual drill into a column drill 100%.
How to use the drill as a mill
Among the essential accessories for a multi-function drill we have a series of accessories that you can also find in the Krino catalog. First we list the mills on the official website with a series of drill bits that allow you to transform the drill into something different. For example, you can use hole saws to make rather wide holes on any surface or countersinks.
They are designed for wood and metal, perfect for accommodating screws. The collection of drill mills expands with different models and shapes, they serve to perform precision work with the possibility of consuming the material at precise points.
Drill accessories for sanding and polishing
One of the most used families of drill accessories: the one where you find the elements necessary for sanding wood and grinding iron. Certainly some work you have to perform with specific tools, like the grinder or sander with sandpaper. But the drill has advantages: it's more manageable, you can work on details. Do you have to do a grinding work far from the workshop?
If you have the right accessories you can avoid carrying a suitcase full of power tools with you. The first element to buy is the sanding plate (also known as sanding disc) with hook and ring on which you can mount everything you need: sandpaper discs for sanding wood and grinding iron, wool pads like the one on the Ineco website and soft foam for polishing metals with wax.
