Archimedes "Pin" Drill

Designed thousands of years ago, this tiny archimedes drill uses tiny jeweler's drill bits (#61-80) to put incredibly small holes in metal, wood,
plastic, bone, bookboard, leather, mica and a million other materials. Perfect if you are sewing an object onto fabric, or wiring it into place in
an assemblage. Now you can make the hole perfectly sized to the connecting material - no more giant holes all over your artwork.

Keith has had the pin drill manufactured without the annoying spring that is commonly found on this tool. Without the spring, the drill is gentle
and responsive, allowing holes to be drilled in fragile or delicate materials (eggshell, anyone?), as well as heavy items like coins, etc.

Check out the (silent) video below to see it in action. It's an excerpt from Keith's TOOLS OF THE TRADE: Essentail Tools for Artists
