Great drill for Warhammer. Requires a small learning curve + tips for you to be successful using it.

I was given this for a Christmas gift and I love it. I've drilled hundreds of holes to pin and drill out the barrels for my 40k armies and they seem to still do as well as the first day I got them. The drill bit sizes are perfect for most if not all barrels I have come across (Bolters, Shootas, Exhaust pipes, Lasguns, and many more). It is amazing how long it holds a charge. I don't know how to quantify it into something meaningful to you, but I have not had to charge it for drilling out an entire 2000 point armies worth of barrels, pinning, and etc.This product doesn't go without it's complaints from me though. The chuck for the bit feels a bit cheap. I was afraid I would break it at first, but I haven't had any issue yet. I needed to learn how to best apply pressure to this. The gear is one speed and lower torque than I think it should be. Here's some tips to have a better time using it: - ALWAYS punch a small hole with your hobby knife where you want the hole to be first. Without the hole, the drill will want to jump or travel off the point. With a small punch, it should grab and go where you want it. - ALWAYS start with a smaller drill than you want. This drill does not have the torque required for you to use the largest bit. This is based on my experience and only with resin and plastic. Going to the biggest drill head with plastic or resin is not a good plan. - Apply minimal pressure, let the drill do it's job. Putting too much pressure will make the drill stop at best or it may carve its own path in an undesired direction at worst. I made this mistake many times with barrels at first. - When working with resin, such as Forgeworld, be patient. That stuff is much harder than plastic and doesn't really let the drill "bite" as much. Also, wear a mask.- Tighten the chuck around the bit just below finger tight.Hope this helps!

Pros
  • Model wood ship building
Cons
  • The drill bits included in the kit are not of high quality and tend to break easily
