When using tiny drill bits, they can easily bend and break, and the small screw eyes I use for ornaments are also prone to breaking. These require pilot holes for proper installation. Currently, I am using a cheap pin vise to drill the holes by hand, applying only light pressure.
The pin vise pictured came with a set of bits, but it doesn't work as well as I would like for this purpose. It uses a miniature drill chuck that lacks precision, and the handle lacks bearings, causing it to turn roughly and wobble a bit.
I have ordered a replacement that features dual ball bearings, along with a complete set of collets and carbide bits. This new tool should perform significantly better than my current pin vise. I didn't know such a thing existed until today, when I searched for a pin vise with ball bearings. Behold, there were a bunch of pin vises with ball bearings.
