I think there's an article on GW on how it's used. I wouldn't know personally, never used one. :?

The tools that GW produce are expensive, but they are pretty good quality and they all match each other, which is nice.

The hobby drill is also known as a 'pin vice' and is used for drilling tiny holes in something soft - like wood, pewter and plastic. You twist the drill back and forth with your fingers while applying gentle pressure on the end of it and you can make very precise holes with it for pinning multipart models or doing conversions or whatever.

I occasionally use mine for holding a model that I am painting or sculpting too.

This kind of tool is probably in my top ten of essential hobby tools so, if you can afford one, I recommend you get one. But be aware, you can find similar tools in most good hobby shops a bit cheaper than the GW version.
