Gimlet, 4.5mm - Pack of 5

PACK OF 5 — this listing is for 5 units (1 = one pack of 5).

Gimlet, 4.5mm

This 4.5mm gimlet is a specialised hand-boring tool designed for clean, precise drilling in wood and soft materials without the need for power. Unlike a standard awl, the gimlet features a threaded "worm" tip and a spiral auger flute that actively pulls the tool into the material and clears away debris as you turn.

Specification

• Self-Starting Threaded Tip - The sharp lead screw bites into the wood instantly, drawing the tool deeper with minimal downward pressure.
• Debris-Clearing Spiral - Engineered with a chip-removing spiral design to extract waste material, preventing blockages and ensuring a smooth, consistent bore.
• Ergonomic T-Handle - The high-impact plastic handle provides a secure, comfortable grip for high-torque manual turning, offering better control than standard vertical handles.
• Split-Free Drilling - Specifically designed to bore small pilot holes without splitting the wood grain, maiking it ideal for delicate carpentry and restoration.
