The Scraps n Pieces Japanese Book Drill is built for precision rather than force. Its rotating screw mechanism converts hand motion into steady drilling pressure, allowing you to create perfectly placed holes with millimetre accuracy.
The ergonomic wooden handle provides comfort and control, while the brass shaft adds stability and long-lasting durability. With six interchangeable drill bits, this tool adapts easily from delicate bookbinding work to more robust craft applications.
Unlike punches or power tools, this Japanese-style hand drill lets you control both depth and placement, making it ideal for professional bookbinding, journals, albums and detailed craft work.
