Drill "Diold": characteristics of impact, non-impact and electric models. How to choose a mini drill? User reviews

With your own hands

In some cases, when you need to carry out a single work, you can not buy a device, but make it yourself. This does not require any knowledge or numerous details.

To create a homemade mini drill, you only need components and an engine at hand. For example, you can take the engine from an old tape recorder, which is quite enough for small jobs. Let's take a closer look at how to make such a miracle technique.

Since the tape motor operates from 6 volts, a battery is required, which is built into the structure. If you do not strain too much, then you can buy a collet chuck.

It is also better to come up with a certain case, where the entire structure of the future mini-drill will be assembled. The first thing to do is to solder two wires to the engine. The drill of the correct size must be installed in the chuck. A chuck must also be installed on the engine shaft.

By the way, the shaft can be of two types: 1.5 mm and 2.3 mm. At this point, the mini-drill will be ready, but it will remain to connect the power and turn on the device. In general, such a device will keep quite high rotation rates.

The power button can be placed on the body, and the cartridge head can be carefully removed from the cap. On the other side, where the bottom is, you need to make a hole through which the power cable will come out.

When everything is ready, you just need to place the entire structure inside. This approach has a lot of advantages: no additional costs for the elements of the tool, a minimalistic compact body, convenient control and operation, as well as a unique appearance are required.

You can also find enough video instructions on the Internet if something remains unclear. Such a thing will be very practical, as well as productive, moreover, no skills are required to create such an apparatus with your own hands.
