An outdoorsman's best friend - the amazing Gimlet! This tool is essential for any bushcrafter or prepper, and can be used for camping, woodcraft, or just about anything else you can think of!

A Gimlet is the perfect outdoor, camping and bushcraft tool, it’s a hand drill that comes in multiple sizes. Being very small and super lightweight make them ideal for the woodsmen on the go.

Gimlets are always small tools. A similar tool of larger size is called an auger. The cutting action of the gimlet is slightly different from an auger and the initial hole it makes is smaller; the cutting edges pare away the wood, which is moved out by the spiral sides, falling out through the entry hole. This also pulls the gimlet farther into the hole as it is turned; unlike a bradawl, pressure is not required once the tip has been drawn in.
