All hail the world's tiniest drill

While there's really very little practical purpose for it, this homemade drill is nothing short of awesome. Flickr user s8 built the "drill pendant" with a tiny motor and battery. It's so small the length of the handle is about the width of the maker's index finger.

In a video, s8 shows the drill bit turning and the sound it makes when doing so. Though we suspect a needle or a Swiss Army Knife's awl could probably do anything this DIY drill can, you have to admit that they are nowhere as cool.
