Robert Larson 849-3099 Gimlet Set 4-piece

Product Description

The ROBERT LARSON 849-3099 is a 4-piece gimlet set designed for boring small pilot holes in wood without the need for a power source. Each gimlet in the set features a hardened shank that extends to the end of the flute, ensuring durability through repeated use. The screw threads are specially annealed to resist breakage under torque. Double spiral flutes are machined rather than twisted, which promotes fast, clean chip clearance as the tool advances through the material. This set is used by carpenters, woodworkers, and general tradespeople for quick, controlled pilot-hole work.

This gimlet set is suited for light woodworking tasks where drilling equipment is unavailable or impractical. Common applications include cabinetry, furniture assembly, finish carpentry, and fieldwork where portability matters. The four sizes in the set cover a practical range of pilot-hole diameters. The set includes Size 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, and 6mm gimlets, making it useful across a variety of screw sizes and wood types.

Gimlets are hand-operated and require no power tools or electrical supply. Apply steady, even rotational pressure to advance the tip into the workpiece and avoid snapping the shank.
