how does the drill work?

Just like a regular drill. A trigger button to run it and a little switch on the bottom to switch directions.

It has three positions: forward, off, and backward. The toy comes with coordinating drill bits. Your child will choose the matching bit for the screw he (or she) is working with. I bought two of these items (a plane and a truck). The drill that came with the airplane stopped working if he pressed it too hard. The drill that came with the truck works even if he presses it into the screw with all his might. I guess the first drill was broken.

On the one that we got, the drill has the three-way switch (my sister purchased it for my daughter's 3rd birthday, which was in March). We find that the switch does sometimes stick, so you may have to move it a bit to get the drill to switch functions. (In other words, it's not a precise switch.) For the plane that we got, all of the bolts are the "phillips" type, though we got all three bits (nut driver, flathead, phillips). We find that the "phillips" bit works the best for her -- she can't mess up the placement and get frustrated -- so we just put the other bits away in a drawer.

This is a *hand* drill set, meaning that your hand provides the twisting action of the drill. Typically you hold the shaft of the handle between the thumb and first two fingers of your right hand (if you are right handed), and the butt of the tool (which twists) presses against the palm of your hand while you twist the shaft. These are really tiny bits, so you have to go very slowly and provide light but even pressure while you twist. Never apply off-axis force or the bits will break. The key is to go very slowly.

For sure its a very powerful drill but it all depends on the "BIT" being used. Great drill.

My did, I really like this drill and so far, 1 battery died but got the free replacement. Drill works like a champ.

It's a "Hammer Drill" it's supposed to hammer while drilling. Its just the way it is.

Yes, it's a variable speed drill and is controlled by the pressure you apply to the trigger in forward or reverse.

The drill is chuckless. Simply hold the end and allow the drill to tighten. Put it in reverse to remove bits. Best cordless drill I ever had. I has tremendous torque.

I believe the "hammer" is to help break up and force the bit through tough materials like concrete etc. while the bit is rotating. Its still a drill with a hammer action to assist.

The manual does not mention anything about it,but the drill has a little openning (on the bottom right above battery pack) which holds one drill bit nice and snug. Drill also comes with belt clip.

All you have to do is turn the dark colored piece in the front. Great drill-does what it is supposed to do and is small and light enough to get into many small places. Buy one-Id!!!!

I believe it only comes with the drill attachment. You have to buy the other attachments separate. But I do not own this, it was purchased as a gift.

It doesn't use a socket. It uses the square 3/8 drive of a socket wrench made to go in the drill.

I had no instructions. I uses some scrap wood and adjusted the drill setting until I had what I wanted. You may be able to find some information from the manufacturer on line.

it would work to drill holes but just depends on what you are drilling into, it turns pretty slow so it would take a while to drill a hole. It does not come with drill bits just screw tips. I would say if you are trying to drill holes larger than 1/4" then no or if you want to drill a number of holes then no.

I have not played with mine yet, but it is designed to attach to a drill. Hope that helps.

Lol you don't need a drill for doing that. That is a bit funny. However the drill is very powerful.

You push the silver button and turn the black ribbed piece to losen it a little. After that, you can remove the other black piece that holds the drill bit. I hope this helps!
