Draper Twist Gimlet

The Draper Twist Gimlet is a precision hand tool designed for creating starter holes in wood, featuring a 3mm tool steel blade firmly fixed to a durable plastic handle. This traditional pattern gimlet is ideal for carpenters, joiners and woodworkers who need to prepare accurate pilot holes for screws or other fixings in timber. The twist design allows for smooth, controlled penetration through wood fibres, making it particularly useful for delicate work where a standard bradawl might split the grain. The sharp, durable tip ensures precise hole placement, whilst the ergonomic plastic handle provides a comfortable, secure grip during use.
