Anyone who calls it a “drill machine” should not be allowed to use power tools

What if I refer to myself as a drill machine?

My wood shop teacher would insist it was “drill driver” and would bust your grade down if you only called it a drill.

Wouldn’t it be a drill bit driver?

Isn’t the drill part of the bit?

In denmark we call it a “boremaskine”, literally “drilling machine”…

Same in Sweden; “borrmaskin”

Though it’s still fine to say just “borr” (drill) for it, like “kan du sträcka mig borren?” (Can you hand me the drill?)

In Danish, “bor” only refers the drill bit. If you asked someone “kan du række mig boret” you would be handed the drill bit, or possibly be pointed towards the table (bord/bordet, with silent d).

Same in German: “Bohrmaschine”.

Although the shorthand version is “Bohrer”, not “Bohr”.

Openly admitting to being pedantic. That said, here we go: it’s a DRIVER, the end is the CHUCK, which holds the SHANK of the BIT, which can be a DRILL.

I understand it’s a setup to the punchline, and nobody actually gives a shit.

A drill and a driver are separate tools. You can fit driver bits in a drill’s chuck, but it’s not its intended purpose. A driver is meant specifically to drive screws, and it’s better at the job than a drill.

Are you guys doing a driver bit?

While this is only semantics and based on nothing more than my preference, I would argue that a drill is a type of driver. If you call it a drill driver, I might get upset though.

i disagree with that, you can use a handheld drill to drive screws but that’s not what it’s for, it’s for making holes in shit with drill bits. you can also buy little sanding discs for your handheld drill but nobody’s calling it a drill sander

Most tools today are drill driver combo devices, they do both jobs well.

Hello fellow Cyanide and Happiness fans!

About this community and how I post the comics… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. Of course these days you can read your favorite comics online instead of a newspaper, but I love the nostalgia of reading the daily comics. Anyway, one of my favorite current comics is Cyanide and Happiness and I will be posting the daily release from their website (https://explosm.net) and a an extra or two randoms.

Cyanide & Happiness (C&H) is a webcomic created by Rob DenBleyker, Kris Wilson, Dave McElfatrick and Matt Melvin. The comic has been running since 2005 and is published on the website explosm.net along with animated shorts in the same style. Matt Melvin left C&H in 2014, and several other people have contributed to the comic and to the animated shorts… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanide_%26_Happiness

Hope you enjoy and feel free to contribute to the community with art, media, cool stuff about the authors, tattoos, toys and anything else, as long it’s Cyanide and Happiness related!

Ps. Sub to all my comic strip communities…
