What is an Archimedean hand drill?
An Archimedean drill is a type of hand-operated drill that's often referred to as a push drill.
The device looks a little like a complicated screwdriver, its main features comprising a handle, a specially shaped shaft and a collet on the business end of the tool. The drill is operated by pumping the handle up and down the tool's spiralled shaft, this, in turn, creates a twisting motion in conjunction with a downward force, therefore, driving a drill bit through the subject surface.
Most drills of this type are intended for small scale projects making them ideal for modellers giving them a great precision and accuracy that a power tool would not allow.
