Persian drill
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Persian drill is a drill which is turned by pushing a nut back and forth along a spirally grooved drill holder.[1] It was formerly used for delicate operations such as jewellery making and dentistry.[2] A ratcheting screwdriver with a 'spiral ratchet' mechanism may be used as a Persian drill.
