{"product_id":"gimlet-4-5mm-352283","title":"Gimlet, 4.5mm","description":"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. 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.","brand":"Stax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51565595951387,"sku":"GM04P-CEN","price":5.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0814\/6488\/5531\/files\/GM04P.jpg?v=1781477564","url":"https:\/\/rockbottomnorthampton.co.uk\/products\/gimlet-4-5mm-352283","provider":"Rockbottom Northampton","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
