Review: Top quality all the way - I initially bought a cheap hand drill here on desertcart that came with a drill bit set for like $8. Theres a few of these on desertcart, its black. The drill bits worked ok except for the smallest 2, and the hand drill was almost good, the chuck worked well but the top part that you press your hand against didn't rotate freely and felt like total garbage making drilling painful and difficult. I got the Army Painter one and played with it for about 30 minutes and this is certainly a top quality had drill. It's really nice. Theres an actual ball bearing in the hand rest and it rotates like a dream under pressure. The 3 drill bits it came with are nice and sharp and the different chucks are really nice. Also I like how it comes with a little wrench to tighten down the bits really well. Overall this tool is a joy to use unlike the other one and I'm really glad I got it. It's not the cheapest but it is probably about the best one on the market and is still a reasonable price considering it should last a lifetime if properly cared for. Well see how well it holds up overtime but it looks like it should last quite well.
Review: Good - I was a bit skeptical because some of the reviews mentioned missing pieces or it being opened or second hand. This is my second army painter product and i havent had any issues yet. It is high quality and has good weight to it, i having tested it yet, but looks promising.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this supposed to come with 3 different drill holders? The bronze colored items? I only have one and therefore only 1 drill bit currently works.**
A: Did you look in the handle for the other ones?  The bottom of the handle pulls off for storage.  That's where I found mine.

**Q: In what country is this pin vise manufactured?**
A: Just received the item. And it says Made in China on the packaging. Was expecting GB based on the manufacturer reply here 2 months ago. :-/

**Q: How hard is it to drill through metal minis to pin them with this?**
A: Hi there, this Miniature drill is designed to drill holes in metal, plastic, and resin miniatures. It is designed to cause little strain on the wrist while operating.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well made and affordable
*by A***R on July 7, 2025*

While it does not come with a 3mm bit, the included chucks include a 3mm chuck, so I can use a 3mm bit purchased separately with ease. I had to discover the chucks by myself, they're inside the handle-- guess I didn't read the description closely enough. I am magnetizing Warhammer 40k shoulders and wrists, and this tool is indispensable and easy to use. Well made and affordable, as should all things be.
