Hello from Colorado USA, Your creativity and ability to express your ideas is amazing. This is such a great idea that would have some many benefits in the wild. Thanks for all your hard work and information you provide! Lifelong Swiss Army Knife fans truly have an appreciation for every idea you've given to us.
This is another fantastic addition to the Swiss Army knife! Thank you so much, my friend, for all of your great ideas and your inventions. They are truly inspiring and a lot of fun to watch!
Felix, thank you for making so many great videos. Not only are they useful and entertaining, but your great attitude always puts a smile on my face from the very beginning of each video!
Bloody brilliant mate! I have an old Victorinox Climber with black scales but with no hook, I am going to do this mod myself. I will replace my toothpick, I can always manufacture one in a few seconds in anycase. I bought this knife in 1984 and it has been around the world eight times, repaired hiking boots in the Himalaya, uncorked Bordeaux in Bordeaux, sliced sausage in Switzerland, opened bottles of beer in Bangalore. Like me it is now looking a little worse for wear but still going strong! Thanks for this mod.😊
This is going to become an incredibly useful project because I can use it. Felix, your projects are excellent because they work, be they simple of somewhat elaborate. Whatever, you never cease to amaze me. Thank you so much for this super vlog. Take care, happy days and much love from Wendi 🌻 ...PS. I always share your content with others, so you can get more subscribers Xx
Wow, another great video! And I really like the aspect of simply using any piece of wood without having to fulfil certain conditions, to finally make the tool work! Even I as the most amateur beginner in the outdoor-bushcraft area immediately learned the insane usefulness of any piece of wood out there. You only need one knife maybe to adjust the piece of wood a little bit, but then you can do ANYTHING with it!
Can you start a fire with it during inclement weather? That's why l use the toothpick slot for the Firefly ferro/magnesium stick. The tweezers come handy too often to be replaced. (Most tiny drill holes can be made with the awl on the SAK... no modification needed)
Superb!! und Wunderbar! Thank you Felix, for all you do. I have become a big fan, watching you work at things stimulates me so much! I got my very first Victorinox Champ yesterdag, and I've been bingewatching you vids from the last 10 years to get the most out of it. Hope you are in good health, also thanks to your wife who I guess is the wind beneath your wings...😘😘 Alles gute und prost auf viele neue projecte! Grusse aus Holland, Ellen.
Hallo Felix, If you have to drill through something really hard and it takes more pressure, or it takes a long time, there is a trick to not get blisters. It's inspired by a video I saw on friction fire. You tie the middle of a cord to the other end of the stick and about 20 cm of free space at both ends. You make two eyelets at the ends to pass the thumbs. Thus the pressure against the bottom is realized by the traction of the thumbs on the cord, and the back and forth of the hands makes only the rotation, without having to press in addition against the bottom. The palm of your hands is spared. Thanks so much for all your great videos and see you next Friday. I'm already looking forward to it. Best regards Mirko 🇨🇭
OK Felix, your timing with this video is uncanny. I lost my last 1/16 drill bit that I use as a cigar tool when the draw is too tight. When I say this is the perfect video, it truly is. I played it on the way to my local hardware store to pick up more drill bits. Now I can have one in my SAK at all times. Awesome, my friend! God bless!
Well done! The drill can be taken one step further by attaching string at the top with two loops to your thumbs for continuous use while spinning the stick.
There is a very similar drill and screwdriver that uses similar bits called The Yankee Drill, or Yankee Screwdriver. I carry both in the small storage area of my SUV because the heat in SE Texas destroys batteries that are stored in the vehicle. I have a very small Archimedes drill for bits smaller than 1/8 inch. It's a cheap item , so I may be biased, but the Yankee tools are much better. They are actually real tools, great for off the grid use, or long term storage where batteries won't last. Also, in a pinch, one can use the tip of a nail to drill a hole in the same fashion in which you describe. I forget my drill bits one time, although I had my cordless drill. I chucked up a nail and drilled a few holes. Note: a nail with a very round tip will not work as well as one with more edges. But you can fix that with a file, sand paper, or a rock. Or, tap the nail into your stick, and then cut the head of at a sharp angle w wire cutters. One could also heat a nail in a fire, shape the tip or head as needed with a smooth rock. I think one could craft a nice, small harpoon tip from a modest nail that might work on fish, frogs and perhaps rabbits. Nails are low carbon, so they won't take a tough edge like a knife blade, but in a tough situation, I think they'd do. A SAK w pliers and a metal file would be super handy, but you can file a nail with many rocks or a smooth chunk of concrete. But your suggestion is best, it is nice to already have a tool that you need vs having to fashion one. Drilling holes in leather is a great idea! I already do that sometimes at home when working with thick layers of leather. I think the perfectly round holes in a field repair will be less likely to tear out than a rough hole that is punched. And you can probably space your holes exactly where you want them for a nice clean repair. Great video as usual! Watching you always gets my creative side stimulated!
It’s aways a good video when Felix posts one! Thanks Felix. In English I think we call that sort of drill-bit a ‘spade-drill’. It does good work, I made one after watching Chris at Clickspring make them for his clock-making - actually for the Antikithera Mechanism. Well worth a watch if you want to be amazed by sheer craftsmanship. Felix, I might even try this for one of my SAKs. Les in UK
Most excellent presentation as usual. In the absence of the toothpick leading to teeth problems I suppose that drill would suffice for DIY dentistry around the campfire 🔥
Hi, Felix! I got a real obsession with the drill - looks like the most useful application for this construction will be, when your friend got a tooth pain during the trip. This way you can help him a lot. Of course it won't be easy, but that what I thinked during the watch! 😂😉🙂 Anyway it's gonna be the unforgettable experience!😅 See you!!!👍
@@siegfriedwashburn3484 I'm a sister, who once pulled out my infected molar with a piece of rope and a shot of whisky. That was bad and painful, but still better than having someone drilling it to pieces!
@@FelixImmler I am sorry that the sentence is not smooth because I used a translator. I'm a Korean viewer. Will Koreans come to watch a lot of these videos? I'm interested, but maybe it's because Korea has a small market, or people don't have much knowledge about tools or kits like this, so there's nothing to see, so foreign videos come to me. Looking good. Thanks to you, I also learned some tips on how to use Firesteel, thank you!
Muy buenas amigo mío cada semana me sorprendes con una buena idea funcional 👌👏👏👏😉 esa herramienta la voy a hacer siempre viene bien 😏 buen fin de semana y como siempre gracias por compartir y a seguir así de bien salud/os 🇪🇦
There are a series of videos on YT about Eskimo culture. In one video, a kayak is constructed from drift wood. A drill like yours was used for joinery. Rawhide cordage was passed through the holes to lash the frame together.
Wonderful idea and workmanship! Now that you have small drill bits to make small holes, you should think of fine leather sawing needle to accompany them, too.
Ich finde die Idee Super. Ich möchte mir auch eins machen aber mit einem Schlitzschrqubendreher, damit ich meine Brille nachziehen kann wenn ich unterwegs bin😊
I've replaced all of the toothpicks in my SAK's with Firefly ferro "rods". Fire is more important than a toothpick, drill, even a blade in a real emergency in the bush. The tweezers are great for splinter (sliver) removal and stay on the knife.
Great ideas. Can you tell me what solder or brazing rod you used. Didn't look like oxy,acetylene flame, more like propane torch. Looked like it flowed well and strong. Thanks for the vid.
Fantastic idea and great presentation! What is the white gel substance for soldering together the handle to the drill-bit? Is the solder material regular tin+lead, or something stronger?
Great idea Felix! A drill bit is SO much more useful than the toothpick. What type of solder are you using? Another great video. Thank you again for keeping us inspired.
That's a lot of work for the average SAK user. If you produced the drill bit, you could market it. I like the SAK toothpicks & tweezers. They come in different color ways. I like the way you used the split in the stump to fashion the end of the stick.
nice...!!! I replaced the toothpick too for a piece of steel ,so I got another mini screwdriver for my Hicker 😊 mybe I could replace the gripper too for a mini philips screwdriver..😅
Hi Felix I just thought of challenge for you ! I saw this commercial with (A no hands crutch )It’s called a I crutch. Anyway could you make this crutch out of wood , strapping .sleeping pad , Paracord may be a shoe since your foot is broken. In a reasonably timely fashion with limited resources and then you’ll be able to walk out of the woods maybe miles that would be very useful !and you’re such a craftsman so I thought I’d throw it out there .I really enjoy your channel I am sure from all the other videos that you could do this if you put your mind to it .I know I’m being really free with your labor ! Ha ha You have to admit that it would be really cool if somebody broke their ankle, leg or foot out there and would be able to save themselves .you also would famous like the Roycraft Pack frame! In the bush craft world anyway. Best regards Ed ps of course you get to pick the catchy name that goes with it. And probably would become mandatory training at every Bushcraft /survival school !
En otro video mostraste cómo insertar un rodamiento en la cubierta de la navaja para luego hacer girar sobre el mismo un taladro para encender fuego, utilizando también un arco para ello. Se me ocurre que podríamos usar aquellos elementos para esta herramienta similar. Muy útiles todos tus inventos. Gracias
Excellent way to make a new tool for such fine work. However, I'd also like to find a practical way to make larger holes in wood. The Victorinox awl/reamer caters for a 5mm hole, no problem for most tasks, but how can one make slightly larger holes, like 8, 10, and 12mm? I know one can get Scotch augers for holes larger than say 20 mm, but I don't see as many applications for that size as for the smaller sizes mentioned. Also, Scotch augers are really expensive! Your video on how to make the nails, and harden them got me started on asking these awkward questions, as I started to think of so many applications that one would normally reject because one couldn't make a hole! One of the biggest problems is in being able to make the bit turn fast enough to cut a nice hole. This I think was the design philosophy behind the Scotch auger where the bit itself follows the hole cut to keep it straight (the biggest problem with a spade bit, and why I dislike them so much). When in the woods, away from the workshop, one doesn't have a drill machine. I have considered a drill brace and bits, and have used them tons of times, but they are a bit bulky to carry around in your pack. It is something that really worries me, that I can't solve this! [I am not known for coming up with innovative solutions to problems like you are! I need to learn them from you guys! ;-) ] Thanks for yet another tantalising video!

Thank you very much!!
Felix, thank you for making so many great videos. Not only are they useful and entertaining, but your great attitude always puts a smile on my face from the very beginning of each video!
That is a really good idea! The protrusion that makes it fit the knife has the benefit of holding the drill in place rotationally.
Thanks for your positive hint!
Felix, du hast wieder einmal dein Genie bewiesen. Unfassbar wie du immer auf solche Ideen kommst. Vielen Dank für all deine Ideen.
Ich danke dir!

Excellent way to make a new tool for such fine work.
However, I'd also like to find a practical way to make larger holes in wood. The Victorinox awl/reamer caters for a 5mm hole, no problem for most tasks, but how can one make slightly larger holes, like 8, 10, and 12mm?
I know one can get Scotch augers for holes larger than say 20 mm, but I don't see as many applications for that size as for the smaller sizes mentioned. Also, Scotch augers are really expensive!
