Hey everyone!

I thought there might be a community thread for people to post sentences they want translated but I couldn't find one. If there is one then I apologize for making my own. :-)

I'm starting to read ハリー‐ポッターと賢者の石 and every once in a while I'll come across something that I can't find the meaning for anywhere on the internet.

I'll start with this one:

穴あけドリル

hole? drill? punch? drill hole? @#%!@%#@!!@??

If you need the full sentence just let me know.

穴あけドリル = an electric drill.

Probably a brace-and-bit or an auger.

Only assume electric where the term 電動 is specifically included.
