Got a new power drill, what do I need for it? (drill “bits”, etc.)?

Bada Bada asked:


Just got a new house…and I know, I am extremely green when it comes to home improvement. Yes, I know how to use a screwdriver, saw, etc. I’ve just never had the use for a power drill.

However, my drill (that was bought for me) did not come with any pieces.

What do I need to buy (to screw things into the wall, drill holes in the wall, etc.)? I have a Craftsman by the way.

Do I get a basic drill bit set? Or what? Thanks.

      A basic drill bit set is fine. Make sure it has drill bits and screwdriver bits in it.

But not just drill bits you need a pair of safety goggles get those at wall mart use them even weed eating ex safety always first and respect your power and hand tools because their not forgiving safety always is first
