Rainy Sunday + fiancé busy with her mum = a whole day to paint! So I'm working through my first Termie;



As a result of my work today I'm thinking about buying a modelling drill and file - something I currently don't own and have never used. Can any Aussies advise whether the GW tools are the best price/quality match out our way (quality being key)? If not, what would you consider to be the best?

I have the old silver GW hand drill, it has 2 sizes, one very small (good for bolter barrels) and one slightly bigger (fits the smallest neodynium magnets you can get).

It works fine and have only had 1 drill bit snap on me (although to be fair i was tying to drill into rock so its not too surprising)

I have a power drill for bigger jobs (vehicles etc) but for the 3mm (or is it 2.5mm) and smaller a hand drill is perfect. I think the new gw one (launches about 4 months ago?) has more.drill bit sizes.

Cheers mate, that's +1 for the GW gear.
