Hi all,

I find that my Archimidean drill is just rubbish. Has anyone got any alternative suggestions for another drill to buy and use?

I've noticed that Tomick doesn't seem to use an Archimidean drill. From any pictures in the official build where he is using a drill, it seems to be a drill of a different kind.

Appreciate your help. E

BigGrin Hi Eoinkm
i think the item your looking for is called a pin vice/chuck, the drill your using [if you got it in the tool kit] is not of the best quality there are better ones on the market that work very well. Hope this helps

Personal preferance, but I don't like these types of drills. You can not go wrong with a good pin vice! Also some drimmel type tools are multi speed.

Yes the tool kit money would have been better spent on a cutting matt or somthing.
