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.
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’m imagining two mustached middle aged dudes in plaid shirts and denim having this talk in front of Home Depot
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
Grandpa called it a “drill motor”
They wrote this entire fucking thing for the joke at the end.
Anyone who calls it a “drill machine” should not be allowed to use power tools
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?)
My wood shop teacher would insist it was “drill driver” and would bust your grade down if you only called it a drill.
No! It’s a drill bit bit!
