Putting a bit into a drill is not something that can be adequately learned by talking, IMO.

You need to see someone do it at least once before you can actually understand what you're trying to do.

Seriously? I mean, presumably we're talking about quick release chuck, not one with a wrench.

Yeah, I'm not thinking of one of your new fangled contraptions where a bit will just snap in

My wife is very capable doing a number of things, but I would worry about the damage she would do (probably to herself) with power tools. She's very much a person who charges ahead to get to the finish point on a project, and not always taking a moment to think about the necessary steps and "what if's" of going from point A to B. We know what she can do to her fingers with a mandolin slicer, not letting her power up the table saw.

Your wife should have a cut glove.

That would have been a good thing to have. The cheap slicer got tossed, and we've got something like a Mueller slicer now. Sits over a container, and has guards so fingers can't get too close to the blade.

It’s still a handy thing to have. I use mine all of the time when grating frozen butter on a box grater when making scones
