LI is unsuitable as its simply not fast enough and I cant be bothered to drag out the 40 metre extension cord! I currently use one of those generic ones and the fact that you can just pop out the drill bit and just screw or unscrew the end to fit a different size is great! But I would stress that I think this is another tool in the arsenal rather than a replacement for one. Drills are an essential and valuable tool for any modeller looking to drill holes in metal, resin, or plastic scale models.

If you have to drill very small holes in jobs you are doing then look no further as the Archimedean Drill is the tool for you. You can modify and enhance your models and scenery by adding new components, weapons, or other details such as bullet holes, rivets, or texture on surfaces like armour or clothing. The casing feels tough enough (typical Bosch) but its the slight increase in size rather than any weight consideration that causes me to think about how I tackle a task.To use a model drill bit, you need a hobby handdrill that is specially designed to work with small, precise parts. More annoyingly, I had to swap to the other collet so I had to unscrew both the chuck and the handle, every time. For those of you who only know the pain of spilling a pot of Agrax Earthshade, you can’t understand the loss of a hand drill.

The other annoyance (and it is just an annoyance) is that the handle wobbles a bit squeaks like hell. I may have accidently told Screwfix that I was an electrician (which in a roundabout way is sort of true) and they very kindly sent me some vouchers!When using power drills or larger tools, there’s a risk of over-drilling or damaging fragile materials like plastic, resin, or metal. If you like what I’m doing here you could really help encourage more content with a share on any social media platform. It would have been an excellent selling point and opened up another market for what is an excellent tool.
