Gimlets
A children's woodworking gimlet designed for creating small pilot holes in wood. Creating pilot holes before inserting nails or screws helps reduce splitting and supports successful project outcomes and also helps young makers develop practical woodworking skills with greater control and accuracy.
The twist-in tip and chip-removing spiral allow clean, precise hole making, a useful addition to woodworking activities in Forest School, outdoor learning and home workshop settings.
Available in three diameters - individually or as a set of three.
