  • Drill: My little 14v Makita cordless drill is my alltime favourite. It's a smaller scale drill that REALLY packs a big punch. It fits a woman's hand like a glove, losing the bulk. I recommend the 2 pack kits with the chuck / chuckless. 3
  • Bits: this is the purse of my dreams! This all in one Makita tool bit case allows you to tote whatever you need anywhere you go. I'd be lost without it. 2

Does anyone know what this is?

I was packing my Moms sewing stuff and this tool was in with her wool. It has a needle that pops in and out when you turn the handle.
