Electirc drill micro coil winder

[brfrompa]

I put a 0.119 bit in my battery electric drill. (Use the bit size you prefer) Put the bit it in backwards, so the smooth part was out. I masking taped one end of my kanthal wire to the drill's chuck (spinny part that grips the bit) to hold the wire. The other end is gripped in your fingers and guided into a nice coil as you SLOWLY run the drill the required number of turns. Go a quarter turn farther then you need as it will spring back a little. The coil was awesome and I got to use electric tools in the process!

I got this idea when my son mentioned people are using craft coil winders to make micros. Same idea but I had the drill and didn't have the craft coil winder.

All right power tools back in vaping, I love the idea!!! Wind a coil with a drill, snip the wire length with power shears, the possibilities are endless..... A good in-lb torque wrench might even help some in tightning their atty onto their PV without damage!!!

Already doing it with an in.lb torque screwdriver on rba screws. ;-)

I never seem to have the Bimford Tool Girl around though, darn it. Coffee pot just beeped. mmmmmmm c o f f e e

Apparently it is Binford and there is a TON of Binford Tool swag still for sale online. (Catch line "Real Men Don't Need Instructions" or "When you need more power")

Obviously a valid and culturally important theme.
