Games Workshop Citadel Tools - Drill

The Citadel Drill is best suited for soft materials like plastic and resin commonly found in model kits. It may struggle with very hard materials.

The drill comes with six drill bits in three different sizes, described as lasgun size, bolter size, and heavy bolter size, suitable for a range of model scales.

The drill features a recessed barrel within the handle specifically designed for safe and secure storage of the drill bits when not in use.

No, the Citadel Drill is designed for precision work on small model components and is not intended for heavy-duty drilling applications.

The ergonomic design, with its ridges and grooves, aims to reduce hand fatigue and increase control, making detailed drilling tasks more comfortable and precise.

While it might be possible if the shank diameter is compatible, it is recommended to use the included Citadel drill bits for optimal performance and secure fitting.

Ensure the bit is fully inserted into the bit-securing barrel and that the barrel is tightened firmly. Check the barrel mechanism for any debris that might be preventing a secure fit.

Verify you are using the appropriate drill bit size for the material. Apply steady, consistent pressure. For harder materials, consider pre-drilling a smaller pilot hole with a smaller bit.

Adjust your grip to utilize the ergonomic ridges and grooves for better control and to distribute pressure evenly. Take breaks during extended use to prevent fatigue.

This can happen if too much force is applied, or if the bit is angled incorrectly. Use lighter pressure and ensure the bit is perpendicular to the surface. Always use the smallest appropriate bit size for the task.
