I drill pilot hole for screws and nails. Often I need something below 7/64" and sometimes under 1/16" I break them on a power drill. I break them with my Miller falls #5. I've tried pin vices. archimedian jewelers drills and small push drills. The take too long and the push type sometimes breaks the bits too. I have a #41 Yankee push but it only goes down to 1/16" and the hole can end up "woobly". I was looking for a tiny egg beater drill and heard about surgical drills. Most of them are $$$. I finally found one under $20 on ebay. It looks like the Fiskars drill. It came in a sealed plastic envelope, like the hospitals use after sterilizing things. I just used it to drill a bunch of 3/32" holes and it worked as well as the MF for larger bits. All my other drills are packed away in case I want to torture myself. Best $20 tool ever.
