View full detailsPin Vise: The Best Mini Hand Drill for Precision Crafting
A pin vise is a small, hand-operated tool designed for fine, detailed work in crafts, electronics, watch repair, and jewelry making. Often considered an optimal solution for precision tasks, Excel Blades’ mini hand drills are a must-have addition to any hobby toolkit—right alongside staples like a Dremel, tweezers, and sanding sticks—offering control and accuracy that power drills can’t match. Whether you’re creating intricate designs in polymer clay, drilling delicate holes in dollhouse furniture, or working with precious metals, a pin vise delivers unmatched precision and ease of use.
What Is a Pin Vise Tool?
A pin vise tool, sometimes referred to as a jewelry vise or a hobby hand drill, operates through simple manual action. Unlike bulky, powered drills, this tool excels at handling small, delicate projects. Equipped to hold minuscule drill bits, wires, or pins, it delivers unmatched precision, ideal for crafters, hobbyists, or even professionals working on tight spaces, like inside a miniature house or within the fine gears of a watch. For anyone seeking a hand drill for miniatures, a pin vise is an essential investment.
Pin Vise Drills for Crafts and Miniatures
A pin vise hand drill is a pen-shaped, manual tool featuring an adjustable collet or collar that allows you to effortlessly change out tiny drill bits. Whether you need a small drill for crafts, a mini hand drill for crafts, or a versatile craft drill to tackle model-making or jewelry projects, this tool ensures clean, precise results every time. Its compact size and precision make it a favorite among hobbyists and professionals alike.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I Use a Pin Vise for Metal?

Does Excel Blades Sell Replacement Drill Bits?
Absolutely! We carry a variety of replacement drill bits compatible with our pin vises. Check the product page for details on sizes and materials.
What Makes a Pin Vise Better than a Power Drill?

Pin vises have hollow handles to provide convenient storage for extra drill bits and to keep the tool lightweight for better control and reduced hand fatigue. This design enhances usability, balance, and portability, making it ideal for precision crafting tasks.
