I've owned/used many Craftright tools and they have always been good value, and still going strong.
I've used many craft right tools… Mostly junk, there's the odd good one but it's mostly junk that is only good for a few uses
what is this the stone age? come on we have power tools now :D
This is better to reduce climate change.
You don't need to oay for electricity and may also save on gym membership fees.
There are uses for hand drills. In particular when drilling delicate materials or using small drill bits. For precision work hand drills are perfect. Having said that some doing that sort work would probably have something better than a $5 drill.
or using small drill bits
I agree with you for drills of 3mm to about 8mm size.
For drill bits less than 3mm, I prefer to use a pin vise. Some versions come with a 3-jaw chuck, e.g. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/126415551063
Cordless!
Also want to know if can be used with ozito battery
And brushless!
Back in my day everything was cordless, even the cords

I literally haven't used one of these since the early 70's. And I don't want to use one again, lol.
Haha, saw them live back in the day.
I'm waiting for their reunion concert.
@jv: Pretty sure they decided to retire permanently after Shirley passed.
Saw them 3 times, last time was about 1990 at the Queanbeyan Leagues Club of all places.
Tik tok making them cool again
yes to use them in the kitchen. 😂
Reviews are interesting reading…
What size is the battery asking for a tradie mate .
about a quarter pounder and maybe some fries and coke.
Perfect for the tradie who charges by the hour….
This will be great if there's a nuclear apocalypse
I'll add it to my bug out bag.
Remeber using this in 90s
1890s ?
I remember bunga unga.
I needed to drill exactly 24 holes into IKEA particleboard, specifically ALEX drawer base and sides and the LAGKAPTEN tabletop for brackets. Not very demanding work so I didn't want to buy a power drill. The gears would slip out and the handle broke on around hole 20. I should've bought a power drill.
These are really good design, just because this one's made of cheese shouldn't cause you to think they're crap drills broadly
True, you get what you pay for.
If its the same as their masonry bits, steer well clear.
Only thing craftright things are good for is gifts for your worst enemy, because they will truly cause them pain when the thing is blunt as soon as it touches air.
Can I use this drill to pierce the heavens? Asking for a friend.
I got this for my boys. Both under 10 at the time for craft work. Safer then a cordless drill.
It works much easier with two using it really.
For this price its good to have in the draw.Make sure they wear protective gloves when using this, and even that may not be enough.
I had a drill like this, and I can tell you that the small gear closest to the handle does nothing useful, and is in the perfect spot to pinch your fingers. Like when you're trying to hold the big gear steady while tightening or loosening the chuck.
There used to be hand-crank drills with enclosed gears, that were much safer for children to use. How I wish those were still available, they were miles ahead in quality compared to this design. Here's what they looked like: https://www.google.com/search?q=leytool+hand+drill
The only thing that's even close nowadays is some models of breast drill, e.g. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/174608942415
Ive moved them onto my battery operated drills these days. PPE all the way.
"Hey Great Grandfather pass me the cordless drill - here you go kid!"
I have one of these types, going back maybe 35 years (McEwans) - just in case…..well that day came a few months ago…and these are really only good for soft pine. The hammer action is a real pain, and concrete drilling takes a while.
My Grandfather had one of these.
His electric corded black and decker drill failed after 22 years. Hand one was his backup. Worthwhile for small or extra precision jobs.So its a POS, and that's why its cheap.
Standard Bunnings.
Bet they love the returns.
“strong and sturdy”
From this Bunnings-own brand, I doubt it.
Good price though.
