Drunk drilling on the outside hides power tool (6)

I believe the answer is:

todger

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'outside hides power tool' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'drunk drilling on' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'on' could be 'to' and 'to' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'the' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for todger that I've seen is " chopper".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
