Palm Drill

Finally—a real drill that doesn’t look like it belongs in a toolbox the size of a car boot. This compact Palm Drill is small enough to fit in young hands but tough enough to do the job. It’s a go-to tool for EYFS, KS1 and KS2 construction play, forest school activities, and practical STEM learning.

With no sharp spur, this safe-to-use drill lets children take part in real woodwork tasks—like creating wooden badges, threading beads, or making nature-inspired creations—without the safety worries. The handle’s ergonomic shape reduces slippage, making it easier (and more confidence-boosting) for children to control.

Use it with cork, softwood or slices in the outdoor area or tool station. Whether you’re drilling holes for threading or just having a go at mark making in wood, this tool opens up exciting hands-on opportunities for developing fine motor skills, hand strength, and problem-solving.

A brilliant alternative to larger drills—less bulk, more control, and just as satisfying. Why not pair with our Softwood Offcuts, Chunky Children’s Woodwork Bench - (H)58cm - EYFS, or Irwin Pull Saw?
