Pistol Grip Drills

Give your budding builders the confidence to drill with purpose using this pistol grip hand drill—a brilliant tool for EYFS, KS1 and KS2 woodwork and DT projects. Its compact design and enclosed gears make it especially suited for educational settings, offering safety without compromising on function.

The pistol-style handle helps children maintain a firm, controlled grip, encouraging precision and supporting the development of gross motor and coordination skills. Whether children are pre-drilling holes or engaging in more structured construction activities, this drill provides a genuine hands-on experience of tool use.

It’s not just about the looks either—this is a real drill, capable of light woodwork tasks with its 8mm (3/8") chuck. Plus, the handle doubles as in-handle drill bit storage, which we all know is a bonus when bits mysteriously vanish during tidy-up time.

Perfect for Forest School, indoor construction corners, and natural learning spaces. A valuable addition to your loose parts and tool-based provision. Recommended for children aged 3+ years under adult supervision.
