Small Electric Drill Needed

[nightofjoy]

I need a small electric drill. Doesn't need to be cordless - in fact I'd prefer it wired, as I'll only ever be using it indoors at home and I don't have to worry about charging or running times. Ideally even smaller and less multi-functional than a Dremel.

Ideally something I can hold like a pen would be best, but any suggestions are welcome. It will only ever be holding a bit of a couple of mm, and it will only ever be drilling through plastic with a thickness of no more than 3mm.

Any ideas guys?

something like one of these fitted to a Dremel, perhaps ?

Your best bet is to trawl through the online model making shops. Dremel seems to have the market mostly sewn up but there are some small hand operated drills out there that might be suitable. The other option that might be what you need is a dentists drill.

A printed circuit card drill would suit - try RS or Maplin etc.

The drill is rather large, but the supplied flexible piece is not.
Hang the drill up on a hook, and use the flexible shaft for whatever drill bit you want.
