# How to Change a Drill Bit on a Cummings Drill
The Cummins 18-volt cordless drill is a basic, inexpensive power tool designed for the occasional user of a drill or a power screwdriver. It comes with a rechargeable battery, case and 12 different bits. Like other drill combinations, it features forward, stop and reverse settings and is slightly underpowered at a top end of 600 rpms. It has a 1/2-inch keyless chuck for changing bits.
