Product Information

The Citadel Drill is one of the most well-known hand drills in this community. It’s generally pretty good. It’s well built with a smooth turning motion. I don’t find the triangular-shaped handle the most comfortable, but that’s likely just a personal view as I’m used to a different type of handle. Citadel Hobby Drill Keep scrolling as we explain how to choose the best type of drill, find out how much you should expect to spend and discover the best features and accessories to look out for. If we believe that drilling helps our learners memorise language, we should also drill useful and common language chunks to help them internalise them. This would include many common phrases such as,

The hexagonal grip that you turn isn’t the best either IMHO. With only 6 flat sides there isn’t really a grip. It does, however, have the best look of any of the hand drills and will be great sat next to a set of Citadel tools. The strangest thing is that this comes with only one two-sided collet, even though the handle unscrews from the body to house a second. (I suppose you could store your extra drill bits here instead) The handle is the part which rests in your palm and allows you to hold the PinVise steady as you spin the rest to drill a hole. not all hand drills come with this but I find it to be the most necessary component. Model the language item. You should try to be clear, enthusiastic and confident when you model – the objective of the activity is, after all, for learners to then repeat your model. If you mumble or they can’t hear you, it defeats the object. Say the model 3 times. This head, however, is larger than most Pin Vise heads and does get in the way a bit of you are drilling areas where other parts of the model it in the way. The other annoyance (and it is just an annoyance) is that the handle wobbles a bit squeaks like hell. If you're going to be drilling into extremely hard surfaces, such as concrete, you'll need to make sure you use tungsten-carbide drill bits. If you're using the hammer-action function on a combi drill, make sure you use a hammer-action drill bit. How much should you spend on a drill?Help memorisation and automisation of common language patterns and language chunks. This may be particularly true for aural learners. While there are specific heavy-duty corded electric drills available, these tend to be more powerful than required for the average household project, so a combination cordless drill is an excellent choice if you need a tool with a little more oomph that will still be useful for everyday tasks. Meet student expectations i.e. They may think drilling is an essential feature of language classrooms.

Finally, drill the whole language item again, individually and then as a chorus. You can mix it up a bit here for variety and fun – just the boys then just the girls / shout and then whisper the model… I’ve had the same Hobby Drill for over 20 years, it’s never let me down (until it did). When I say mine broke. it’s because I spilt glue on it and it seized the handle. Less “it broke”, more “I broke it”. It’s the sort of tool that you will buy once. so if you are in the market for one, make it a good one. They aren’t expensive at all. But they can be “cheap” in every sense of the word (we’ll get to that in the list). The most important part of the tool is your drillbits. I don’t mean the strength of them, bar the few occasions you are drilling metal, even the cheapest bits should be able to drill plastic just fine.At its simplest, drilling means listening to a model, provided by the teacher, or a tape or another student, and repeating what is heard. This is a repetition drill, a technique that is still used by many teachers when introducing new language items to their students. The teacher says (models) the word or phrase and the students repeat it. And now onto the list, I normally do a top 10, but I am limited to options, these are also pretty cheap to buy, no matter what model you get. so the price doesn’t really come into it. The below options are all the ones we looked at specifically. If you think there is another option worth considering, let us know. 8. Dremel / Rotary Tool They normally use hex-shank driver bits, and while you can theoretically use specific impact-ready drill bits (standard drill bits may break due to the combination of rotation and concussive force), this isn’t what they’re designed for, and they’re not as suited to millimetre-precise jobs. Driving screws is their forte. Where you might need to drill a hole for screws with a traditional drill, then swap between drill and driver bits, you can get away with a smaller pilot hole then use the impact driver to drive the screw in. On softer wood or where there’s less precision needed, you might even be able to get away without the pilot hole. This can seriously save you time and effort when you’re working on a major project. They will hold a 3.2mm drill bit (standard Dremel bit size), perfect for PCB Drill Bits. 7. Hobby Knife In all drills learners have no or very little choice over what is said so drills are a form of very controlled practice. There is one correct answer and the main focus is on 'getting it right' i.e. on accuracy. Drills are usually conducted chorally (i.e. the whole class repeats) then individually. There is also the possibility of groups or pairs of students doing language drills together.
