What is the difference between a drill and a drill motor?

Answer:

It's a regional term like "pop" is to "coke". In the south I have actually heard people ask if you want a "orange coke" or a "coke coke". "Pop" is never used... In the north I have heard the term "drill motor" used where other areas will just refer to it as a "cordless" drill, or "drill".
