        Comments about Duluth Trading Set of Four Gimlets:

        Beats a hammer and center punch. well designed and comfortable to use. When my wife gave me my set, I kissed her and threw them into my tool chest, thinking "women are clueless on tools!" Boy- was I mitaken. These are probably the most used woodworking tools II own.
        GREAT product.

            Comments about Duluth Trading Set of Four Gimlets:

            I like to make creations from scavenged beach treasures and from bamboo. Until I got the gimlets I had used an electric drill to make the necessary holes - sometimes with disastrous results. The gimlets give me more control over what I am doing, and I am looking forward to making more use of them.

                very handy for quick pilot holes in thin wood, I drilled through some 3/4 white oak scrap just to see how they work, no problem.

                  These replace a second drill for starting screws etc. I find myself looking for reasons for using them, and sometimes drill holes for no reason.

                  Comments about Duluth Trading Set of Four Gimlets:

                  Very handy to easily start a screw hole without breaking out an electric drill. Seems to work in any material. A few twists are all that is necessary.
                  One word of caution: I was starting a hole in hard plastic and made the mistake of using a "lever" action to increase size of hole. I did break off a tip on the very smallest of the gimlets. Maybe that would not have happened on a larger one. They have the appearance of being "heat-treated" or "case-hardened" but maybe not. But, that does not lessen my opinion of their usefulness. I did order a replacement. Just don't use as lever.

                      I bought two and gave one to a friend for his new home. The quality and styling is superior. What a nice compliment I received. I added one more excited customer and do-it-yourselfer to the Duluth Trading Co.
