Drills
Drills are perhaps the most recognizable simple screw machines, since the handheld variety are little more than over-sized screws turned by a hand crank. The screw portion of an auger, which is another name for a hand drill, is turned using a short series of gears that translate the applied force supplied by the person turning the handle across perpendicular planes. That is, the crank is usually a circle parallel to the axis of the screw for ease of use.

Examples of Simple Screw MachinesBy Kevin Beck; Updated April 20, 2018
Simple machines can be divided into six basic categories: levers, wheel and axle assemblies, pulleys, inclined planes, wedges and screws. A screw is actually a special case of an inclined plane in which something is moved from a higher position to a lower position or conversely, but in a series of circles, thereby conserving horizontal space.
Screws, which convert linear motion to rotational motion, are commonly regarded as ways to hold things in place. They often fasten parts of complex machines to each other. This obscures the fact that screws are machines, or more accurately the primary component of certain machines in their own right. The worlds of plumbing, electricity, agriculture and other areas would be vastly different without simple screw machines.

Drills are used to bore into materials as well as to turn other screws. The advent of electricity and modern motors has permitted the construction of very powerful drills, some of which feature diamond tips than can drill into steel or hard rock that is generally impenetrable using traditional methods.
Faucets
Faucets are typically regarded not as machines but in terms of their main purpose, which is to supply water or some other fluid. But faucets are another type of simple screw machine, with the screw component usually concealed within a pipe or other portion of the faucet housing. Water on the supply side of the faucet is at a higher pressure than the tap side, normally owing to gravity but sometimes thanks to a pump. When the handle of the faucet is turned, the wedge-shaped screw between the fluid and the external environment moves in the direction of lower pressure. The rate of fluid dispensation can be controlled by turning the faucet lever farther from its closed position, which in turn widens the aperture through which the fluid leaves its reservoir.
