Hi all, this is my first post here, and I'm being a bit cheeky coz my other half posts here but he's away so I am hoping this slips under his radar

He would like a hand drill from the following page for Christmas but I make disorganised look tidy and haven't made any movement towards ordering it

So my question is - would this be ok instead? Being able to pay online is the biggest pro for me

Thanks in advance

I'd probably go for the top one if I'm honest, that's only because they actually say what the different woods are. If you can get more details from the lower link then it might be okay. Maybe email them and ask what the components are made of.

Thanks for that, have just fired off an email... but what am I looking for in response? lol

If you haven't ordered a bow drill set yet could I suggest this one here? It's cheaper and it's one of us (Addo) off the forum. He does great stuff to sell and he's a natural fire god doing demos all spring and summer with bow drills so he knows his stuff...hope this helps.
