Review on 37-Piece Hand Drill Tool Set for Craft Carving and Jewelry Making including Pin Vise, Miniature Twist Drill Bits, and Bench Vice by David Bott

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Broke on first use.

I ordered this mini hand drill a few months ago but until now I have had very little opportunity to use it. I was working on making some Christmas decorations and had to drill tiny holes for eyelet hooks. I was beginning to "cleanly" drill a hole in the top when it just cracked leaving the piece in my project unable to be pulled out. The project was destroyed. The small drill, which by the way wasn't the smallest I used, was fragile and unreliable as an electric drill. My object wasn't too hard to break. I'm disappointed. Another thing I wasn't too happy about was the little vise that came with the bits. When I assembled it with the extra pieces holding your object (orange plastic pieces so it doesn't scratch your project) one didn't tighten and stayed loose. I had to squeeze a twisted piece of fabric between the screw head and the plastic thing. This seemed to fix the problem, but I wouldn't have needed to do it if everything was done correctly. My mistake was waiting so long to try it to make sure everything works perfectly. Now I can't go back because that window is long gone.
