The Japanese Book Drill is a traditional hand tool widely used in bookbinding and fine crafts. Its rotating mechanism converts hand motion into controlled drilling force, allowing you to punch clean holes without tearing or stressing the material.
Featuring an ergonomic wooden handle and a durable brass shaft, it offers excellent balance, stability, and long-lasting performance. It works beautifully on delicate surfaces like paper and book board, yet is strong enough for fabric, leather, and thin wood.
The set includes 6 interchangeable drill bits ranging from 1.5mm to 4mm, giving you the flexibility to adapt the tool to every project — from delicate bindings to handmade journals, zines, and mixed media pieces.
