Pichler Hand Drill Set

[Philski]

Now, after about 3 months of use, I can say that I am completely satisfied with the ARROWMAX mini drill (about $50 on Amazon). I am using it almost exclusively now that I am at the rigging stage of the Ontario (opening up block holes, pegging spars to masts, etc). I have broken the smallest drill bit that I have not yet replaced, but the ARROWMAX had proved indispensable to me. My Dremel and drill press are not to be forgotten, but the pencil sized ARROWMAX is far better for many of the jobs that I run across.

My first Arrowmax developed a loose wobble at the chuck. I did purchase a newer on (variable speed) but also bought the Hanboost drill and it came with lots of accessories. It's bigger than the Arrowmax but sturdier and provides more torque. Both are handy for model building.

I also have the arrowmax drill and like it okay. I ordered mine with the drill press feature, however, I done care for that, it’s too wobbly. I ordered another one featured on Facebook, from Innovative or something like that. It’s much, much more precise. Also, using the very thin drill bits, without the drill press, just snap.

I have the Arrowmax drill press thingy but don't like it. If I need a press, especially for small drill bits, I use a Proxxon M70...
