Small drill

Hi,

I once saw an ad for a small drill to be used for crafts, they claimed that
it was even safe for children. It was hand (maybe even finger) operated and
used to make small holes in wood. Does anyone have any info on this as I
would like to purchase one.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I have no idea what kind of drill would be safe for
children, considering all of the constraints on
toys nowadays - to say nothing of tools intended for
use by adults. One of the easist to use wood drills
for small projects is the YANKEE DRILL design. Yankee
is a brand name but the same principle is used in
similar "push-pull" drills. The bits are not the
twist design of conventional rotary drills but rather
a grooved spline that fits into the drill collet
by way of a locking notch. Sears sells them under
their Craftsman label.

Hi, Tammy. I got one at Walmart back in the craft section. Where the
woodcrafts are. It's just a little gizmo with a drill bit stuck in the end.
You twirl it and it makes a hole. It works amazingly well. Now, if I had
bunches to do, I would use a real drill (or a cordless screwdriver with a
drill bit) but for a simple hole in thin wood or plastic, this is terrific.

DH saw it in my studio and was intrigued. I bought him one too.

Thanks - it sounds just like what I'm looking for!

A Fuzzy Buzzy!
The warm-fuzzy of power tools. This mini-drill absolutely won't cut your
finger off, although with the right sanding bit in it, it could be used to
shape your fingernails. It won't cut your arm off, but with a sharp bit,
this gentle pen could probably engrave a nice jailhouse tattoo on it. It's
ecologically selective, preferring balsa and refusing to desecrate oaks,
cherry and other hardwood trees. Less than 6" long, it has a 3/16" ID chuck,
comes with 1/8", 3/32" and 1/16" collets, and needs only (2) "AA" batteries.
(Those would be your batteries. After all, it's your warm-fuzzy, not ours.)

It sounds like the one I have...I use it to bore link holes in pewter coins.
