Review on πŸ”Œ Yakamoz Portable Electric Aluminum: 0.7-1.2mm Power & Portability by Adam Taylor

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works perfectly! You have to work really hard to pull the little things up!

I've been using it for drilling resin parts for about 6 months and I LOVE it. It's not tough enough to stick through something insanely tough, but for crafting (plastic, thin wood, resin, acrylic, etc.) it works like a gem. It saddens me that people shoot stars because "smaller drills don't fit". Did. Didn't they know that you have to twist the end to fit different sizes? Yes, there are even the smallest sizes. just because they're smaller - on these (which, as I said, curl up and get looser or tighter) you REALLY have to twist the headpiece *super tight* for little ones (don't worry, it always unrolls pretty easily when you're done, despite nothing) so if you don't have a good grip or have arthritis or similar issues you might want to also buy a pair of pliers for $3-5 to really tighten them if you don't have any (jewelry pliers will do.) Products - i not talking about the Hyman grip here, but I know some people can't rotate much at all due to muscle issues, so it's worth mentioning) - otherwise - if you put it on if you don't want to do it, but you don't do it very tightly on your own you may have to stop every 5-10 minutes to tighten it if it slips - BIG DEAL. For this price? This is much better than expected and has lasted for quite some time with no change in performance. As the wise prophet Eminem once said, "Beggars can't be choosers!" Drill a million bits including grinders, stop wasting money on "electronic grinders" and the like - literally. Buy a nail file here. yes, as they are used in the salon. for $6-$12 and then buy an extra pack. "Grinding nozzles" that look like small tubes. It's literally *exactly* the same, works great from carbide grinding to grit blasting, polishing and buffing. But they charge $20 more if they put "power" in front of it. And think about it – what else is made from acrylic besides synthetic resin? FAKE FINGERNAILS. It's legit to work with this stuff, but other artists I meet rarely think about it! Please.) Long story short – get it lol. It's really good and you won't find a better suggestion that really works, believe me I've tried everything.

Pros
  • Insert the drills correctly: See Figure 2 for tightening the drills. Please make sure that the drills are placed just enough, otherwise there will be ridges.
Cons
  • Big and bulky
