This can be annoying if you are often swapping between drill bits which require a different collet. The Best Drill Bits for Models, 3D Prints & Miniatures The new iteration is far more comfortable. The new plastic handle is far more ergonomic and the material’s light rubberiness makes them softer to hold too.

I’m happy to report that in all ways except one, the new mouldline remover is an upgrade. The handle is more ergonomic and less prone to slip. The “blade” of the tool is also narrower, thinner, and has a more swooping curve. This makes it better for use on arms, muscles, pauldrons, etc and makes it easier to dig into crevices to get the last little nibs and nubs. Given the issues with the sprue cutter above, I found myself using it more often than normal on removing leftover sprue and it worked just fine. The Super Fine Detail Cutters have been completely redesigned. The new blades are much thinner, with a single cutting edge to prevent pieces flying off the sprue. They have a narrower nose, meaning they can get into smaller gaps and require less force to use – we’ve tried them, and they make cutting plastic feel like slicing through butter. This holds up to 3.6mm drill bits making it perfect for 3.2mm PCB Drill Bits. 4. The Army Painter Drill This is my baby, I had this model for over 20 years and they still make them now. It is generally everything you want from a typical pin vice. Solid build, decent size and weight. smooth spinning motion. It comes with 2 two-sided collets. one is stored in the handle one is stored in the front. Modelcraft Pin ViseI wouldn’t even say this one is overly expensive either. of all the tools this is probably the cheapest for Games Workshop to produce, but it’s also the one they will definitely sell the most of. The handle is the part which rests in your palm and allows you to hold the PinVise steady as you spin the rest to drill a hole. not all hand drills come with this but I find it to be the most necessary component.

Also known as a “pin vice” the Citadel Drill has a lot of uses. If you’ve never used one of these, they’re a hand drill designed for very small bits. Most of them have an end cap that pivots freely so you can brace the drill against your palm and turn the drill with your fingers. Mould lines are a reality of highly-detailed plastic kits. These thin lines of plastic are a relic of the moulding process, but they can get in the way of painting, especially on skin and flat armour. That’s where the new Mouldline Remover comes in.The first of our known hobby branded options is The Army Painter Pin Vise. this one is great and well built. It does use collets however these are only 1 sided and there’s one for each of the different sized drill bits you get with it. The drill feels a bit short in my opinion but is still comfortable to hold and it has a smooth mechanism. The handle is fastened in with a rubber ring and just pulls off to access the internal storage. The Army Painter Hobby Drill Honestly, and I do not say this lightly. This needs redesigning asap. It’s unusable. 2022 Refreshed Citadel Tools – Final Thoughts The most common thing we all drill (Space Marine Gun Barrels) it makes sense to drill the side holes with one diameter drill bit and the front of the barrels with a slightly larger drill bit. It’s a subtle change, but one that makes it appear just slightly more real.

Well, when it comes to cutting fine details. And even I can’t believe I’m going to say this (honestly these articles write themselves). They are fine… The Citadel Drill is one of the most well-known hand drills in this community. It’s generally pretty good. It’s well built with a smooth turning motion. I don’t find the triangular-shaped handle the most comfortable, but that’s likely just a personal view as I’m used to a different type of handle. Citadel Hobby Drill The sharpness is average, the cuts are alright, but I found it difficult to get really close to the components, so there was still a lot of excess plastic I had to cut away. That’s probably because the blades are still rather large, which makes it hard to reach tight areas in a sprue. Still, the build quality is pretty decent, but for the price they’re asking, I would probably invest in a pair of single-blade nippers. Dual vs single-blade Otherwise, it is a lot of plastic for a lot of money. 6 blades of decent quality are included and the knife is compatible with other brands’ scalpel blades as well.By the way, you can find a more detailed comparison of 8 hobby grade cutters and nippers over on my Patreon. The alternatives: It is the best tool for drilling barrels and barrel ports if you’re into that sort of thing and the current model comes with two different sized bits. They can also be used for pinning, and the two sizes mean you can use things like paper clips or brass rod depending on your project.

Well, the drill works – if you have large hands. For smaller hands like mine, the bit-securing barrel is placed exactly where your fingertips will rest. This makes turning the drill really uncomfortable and unintuitive, and the two plastic fins are more of a hindrance than a help. I found it pretty much impossible to find a grip that felt comfortable and safe. An additional safety measure is a collar around the blade. Directly above the blade is a thumb grip. The point where you need to add pressure has a ridged sheath, No longer am I pressing down directly on top of the blade itself. Then right where your index finger sits mid-cut, the blade handle has a concave curve to support the correct placement. again, much much safer.FauxHammer.com is dedicated to finding the best tools for your hobby.
