Some holes are too delicate for a power drill: inlay work, thin stock, a drilled pearl, a repair where one slip ruins the piece. This hand drill puts the speed entirely under your control, and its double-pinion gearing turns the chuck smoothly with better torque than single-pinion patterns, so the bit keeps cutting evenly instead of stalling and snatching.

The steel three-jaw chuck accepts bits from 1.5mm up to 10mm (approx. 3/8-inch), covering fine pilot holes through to larger work in metal or wood. The main gear and frame are cast metal, the drive wheel wears a teal enamel finish, and two turned hardwood handles give a secure, comfortable hold. Trusted by jewellers, horologists, modelmakers and luthiers.

  • Double-pinion gearing provides smooth, continuous rotation and improved torque over single-pinion models.

  • Main gear and frame are constructed from cast metal for durability.

  • Large drive wheel is finished in a durable teal-coloured enamel.

Violet ★★★★★

I've been using this for pearl reaming and inlay work where my power drill felt way too risky, and the 3/8 inch chuck grips even my smallest bits without slipping. The wooden handle is comfortable enough that I can drill a dozen holes in thin stock without my hand cramping up.

Emily ★★★★★

The double pinion makes the crank feel smooth instead of jerky, which matters a lot when you're drilling thin silver stock. I've been using it on inlay work and the 3/8 inch chuck holds my smaller bits without slipping. Way more control than my power drill for delicate stuff.
