What is a twirlit?
What is a twirlit?
The Twirlit Paper Drill is a hollow steel drill with a sharp cutting edge operated by a simple thumb screw type bar under tremendous leverage and mounted on a solid cast iron base. The average paper hole punch uses a lever mechanism to move one or more solid punches through paper.
Interesting, seems to be a $20 item on fleabay so if you can use it, you got a deal at 75% off w/free shipping 👍
