Does anyone know where I can find a hand drill, like the one in attached picture? I don't need a hand cranked drill.

I got it from infinity-hobby.com ( or perhaps helipross.com ) and love it. Very very useful.

Found it on helipross.com, but at $14.59 its pretty expensive for a hand drill.

Small bits (possibly 1mm onwards, certainly 1.5mm onwards) are usually available in stores that sell drill bits. You do have to find a grip/holder.  That is how I worked around, until I got this :

It is not as good/convenient as the one from Align, I will get the Align one (or something like that) soon.

The griper thing might workout for me. The hand cranked type drill is available in local hardware store for just 150 Rs. May be i'll get that, strip the gears out and put a handle on the main shaft. IF i dont find a better solution.

i think i can help you on this......
i'll post a pics in a few minutes

these are available for rs 100 only......but now look at the pics below

this tool is used foe making threads in tubes or nuts
it can hold a bit of size minimum 3mm to 6mm (drill bit)
all these bits are easily available in market for nearly rs10 per pcs....

P.S : the bit in the above picture is not a drilling bit its a bit to make threads.....and you can use a bit of size more than 6mm by grinding it from back side to fit in the jaw.

Perfect!! this will do the job. Now i can just take the pics in my cell phone and show it to the hardware store guy, i think with the pics i'll be able to can find it.
Thanks Kartik

Your welcome!!!!

These are called tap/drill handles, the pic posted above I think is from Great planes tap handle. http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXK377&P=7

You can search for pin vise, tower has various and in various budgets as well.

The xacto one can handle bits from 1.35mm to 7.3mm sizes. Something similar should be availble locally in India as well
