<p>I just used one yesterday. I can't remember where I picked it up. It's not hard to find though. works like an old Yankee drill. Sometimes it's just the ticket.</p>

<p>I have the "Micro Hand Drill" but some of the other choices might be better, including the finger drills. I also use a $10 General electric screwdriver from Lowes with a chuck setup put together by a friend who does machining--He machined a miniature chuck from eBay or the web to take a hex wrench shaft that fits the screwdriver. The chuck has several collets so it takes a range of drills. Nice and slow, helps with my arthritic wrists. It can wobble a bit In the drill's hex chuck but I use it unless really precise drilling is needed when I wouldn't use a hand drill, anyway.</p>

<p>I use one these little hand drills. There are no marking on it, but I think this was from a hobby shop. Works well.</p>

<p>This is what I like to use. It's a DeWalt hand-held (and fairly weighty) drill chuck that will accept bits down to .050" or so, although I'd imagine many brands would do.</p>
<p>You can insert the bit so that only a minimum will be exposed. The heft of the chuck helps keep things straight and allows you to slowly hand-turn a nice, even hole. …<a href="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2167762136?profile=original" target="_self"><img class="align-full" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2167762136?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="721"></img></a></p>
