An electric drill is a power tool used for drilling holes and driving screws into materials like wood, metal, plastic, and sometimes masonry (with the right drill bit). It is one of the most common and essential tools in construction, maintenance, and DIY work.

Direction can be reversed to remove screws or loosen fasteners
