Which tool is used to bore (drill) holes?

Correct answer

A drill

  1. A A wrench
  2. B A drill
  3. C A level
  4. D A clamp

Why this is the answer

A DRILL is used to BORE (make) holes in materials like wood, metal, and plastic, using a rotating DRILL BIT. ASVAB Shop Information tests tools. Drills can be hand-powered, electric (corded or cordless), or a drill press (stationary, for precision). The bit type matches the material (twist bits for general use, spade/auger bits for wood, masonry bits for concrete). Many drills also drive screws. Knowing the drill bores holes (with bits suited to the material) is commonly tested basic shop knowledge.
