Package arrived next day as promised, (thank you!) and product undated. This is to be used in model building of a 1/350 scale USS ENTERPRISE production style.• PROS: The holder is easy to handle; putting in the bits in takes a little time to get used to, but easily learned. The mico bits are separate from the regular bits, and well protected by a heavy gage plastic case. The regular bits come in a plastic tube with stiff rubber ends that are pulled off by hand. I did use this to open up a few extra holes wiring this project for lighting, and the product worked fine.• Cons: Though the main storage case is easy to open, the micro bit case is a little difficult. (I’ll try to remember to attach a pic) Once this case is opened, the bits are nicely stored in a holder; but, I wish that on the place that looks like it could’ve been used to put each size is blank. I understand that there is a measuring gage on the front of the main storage case, but who wants to take the time to measure each one during a build? 🤷🏼♂️ This should’ve been taken care of right off the bat at the company. They are color coded, but I still would like to see the size up front. I wanted to know where to purchase replacement bits (just in case) but the “scan me” icon takes you back to the original Amazon page where you purchased it from; I couldn’t find any replacement statements, and when I asked the question on this page, the company only wrote, “Yes, you can purchase replacements”, but nothing else. The other icon to scan on the front of the main storage box takes you absolutely nowhere. 🙄 I thought it may be a tips and hacks for this, but apparently not.• PLEASE NOTE: Let the bit do the work! Don’t press down, or try to hurry the process up. I haven’t broken one as of yet, and hope that I don’t; but I can see where it would snap easily due to the size. When you open the regular bit tube, do so over a towel or similar; though I say, “regular”, they aren’t you everyday drill bits from Lowe’s or Home Depot. I was using the term regular to denote these not being the color coded micro bits.The idea I’m going to use since I have a regular workbench is making my own holder. Using a piece of pine, I plan on measuring each one, and drilling holes in one line to fit (bottom first) each micro bit, then a line for the others. Then take my brother label maker and mark each one. Just a thought… 🤷🏼♂️😄🪛 (Pic now attached as #3)Thank you,Doc LykinsVirginia

This is a quality drill sold by an American owned small business that is packaged well in a plastic box. The box should be kept to store the drill and bits. There is a bit finder (ruler) in millimeters on the back of the box that correlates with the diameter of the bit. Just lay the bit against the ruler and the corresponding bit diameter is seen.It's important to use the appropriate lubricating oil or fluid such as WD-40, 3-In-One Oil or water to minimize bit friction and reduce bit wear. This also results in a cleaner aperture finish, removal of debris and extended bit life.There is a note on the back of the box that states, "Perfect for wood, resin, jewelry, walnut, amber, model, bone, horn, wax, olive nut, beads, PVC, soft metal, fiberglass, shell, PCB board. NOT FOR steel, iron, stone."I'm very happy with this product, will be buying another as a Christmas gift and would definitely recommend it to others.

I had my doubts but this little hand held drill proved me wrong. The bits are nice and sharp, it’s easy to hold and turn the drill with one hand while holding the object in the other. I used it on small solid plastic animals so I could put eye screws in them. Made quick and easy work of it and was easy to hold straight. One of the reviews gave really helpful instructions. It doesn’t come with any. I plan on using it on resin as well super convenient little drill.
