Fiskars Crafts DIY Precision Hand Drill, Grey, White/Gray

Just the tool I need for my traveling toolbox. This drill replaces one that was over 40 years old, and had become work. The new one is also less the half the weight of the old. That's not always an advantage, but it's a big win when carrying tools long distances. Not good for bit smaller than 1/16".

Works. You can't push too hard or things get jerky but this is great when I need a small hole quickly. I don't know why but grabbing this seems faster than getting the big heavy cordless (or corded) drill and fiddling with batteries and charging when I just need a quick small hole in a piece of plastic. I prefer it over the electric drills when the job size is right. Very easy to change bits with the manually tightened bit holder. Generally it's very easy to use but for many large holes in hard material you will still want your electric driver. I need to use light pressure and spin the bit fast. Trying to press too hard makes causes the whole thing to wobble a bit, affecting hole precision. But it's my first choice for small and easy one off holes.

I love my drill! It’s not cheaply made. I recommend this for around the house medium to small tasks.

This little manual craft drill has been so handy for making holes in plastic.

These get rusty quick if you leave them wet (no surprise) and get a bit more chunky and less smooth. But they survive for a while and work well.

Some tools belong in your toolbox or in the workshop or the workshed. Other tools are more like the screwdriver you keep handy in the junk drawer for that occasional loose screw. This is like that. Lightweight. Only takes drills up to 1/4 inch. Perfect for those pesky odd jobs where the screws you are using really could use a pilot hole. Next time you find yourself commenting "Gee, I wish I had a handy little drill for this." Order up one of these.

This looks and feels like a child's toy, but it actually works pretty well. It's way better than the manual drill I had been using for years, which is just a fixed drill bit on a wide handle. I got a DeWalt drill bit set to use with it, because I needed a wider range of sizes, so I actually haven't yet used the 4 drill bits that come with it. For simple tasks like making screw holes in drywall or wood, I don't need anything more powerful. And it doesn't make sense for me to buy a powered drill, because I would only use it once a year or so, and I would worry about the battery just rotting away. One suggestion for Fiskars, I would pay extra if it came with a nice, compact case to store everything in a non-awkward way.

I bought this to fix pickets on my wood fence. Every now and then a picket will come loose and needs to have a couple of screws put in the picket. This worked so well. Easy to drill a couple of holes for the screws. I am an older lady and electric drills are not in my wheelhouse. I am really impressed with how well this works and how easy it is to use. Would highly recommend to any one.

Just when you have a small task, this suits the job

Had an older version of this manual drill that came in handy but eventually the handle fell off. So replaced with this.. seems okay so far. Hard to tell how robust it is, but seems pretty good. The only downside is that this new model uses the same hand-tighten chuck as the old one did. This means you can only tighten the drill bit by hand, and I have already experienced a situation where the drill got stock in the wood and I had to remove it with a wrench. No idea why the don’t design this with a proper chuck key mechanism.
