About product

Padded Drill Holder — a pin vise with a padded handle

This is a modeling tool, not a kit and not an accessory for a model. A pin vise serves to clamp small drill bits and to drill holes by hand, that is, without a motor. The padded handle cushions the pressure into the palm, which tells especially when a larger number of holes follow one after another. Check the exact clamping range, and whether the package holds drill bits, against the manufacturer's data on the packaging.

Use

  • Holes for tubes, pitot tubes, antennas and handles bent from wire
  • Pre-drilling places for pins, dowels and joints before gluing
  • Cleaning out and deepening holes in resin and printed parts
  • Suggesting gun muzzles, exhausts and drain holes
  • Carefully widening holes in photo-etched parts before bending

Why drill by hand

A powered drill often turns against you in fine modeling work: plastic heats up from the fast rotation, melts, and the hole closes up or frays. Drilling by hand gives you full control over both pressure and direction, the bit does not skip and the surface around it stays clean. Work slowly, start with a light dimple from the point of a knife so that the bit does not run off to the side, and do not push the tool sideways while drilling — thin bits break from being levered, not from pressure. Enlarge a hole gradually through several diameters instead of using one large bit.

Who the tool is for

It suits anyone who details models: builders of aircraft, vehicles and ships, work with resin and photo-etched parts, and equally a beginner buying a first set of good tools who will appreciate a comfortable handle.

The tool holds sharp drill bits. Work with eye protection, put broken bit ends away from the working surface and keep the tool out of the reach of children.

FAQ

To clamp small drill bits and drill small holes by hand — for example for tubes, antennas, handles from wire or pre-drilling joints.

High speed heats the plastic and the hole closes up or frays. Drilling by hand gives full control over both pressure and direction.

Pin vises take bits with an ordinary shank, but the clamping range differs between individual types — compare it with the diameters of the bits you use.

Yes. Work slowly, mark the hole with a dimple first and do not lever the tool sideways — thin bits break precisely from being levered.
