The gang over at Make have dug up a pretty sweet electric drill that's looks to be about the right size for the Smurf in your life. Powered by a button cell battery, the inventor (a shadowy figure known only as s8) has plans to make these commercially available -- as soon as he figures out how to configure his website. Not too many details on how this was put together, but you can see several prototypes above. Video after the break.

first post reasons to use this.
"first post" reasons to use this.
Nice, I see what you did there....
Looks to me like a standard cell phone vibrator motor to me
why the f+@k would he want to make these commercially available? seriously, who would buy these?
@ EI8HT - Smurfs! Didn't you read the article?
But the only smurf that might buy it is Handy Smurf.....
You could use this do do various annoying things, such as drilling holes in paper, water bottles, or enemies.
I'm pretty sure that Smurfette could find some use for this thing as well. I'm sure it has optional attachments.
@bananaboat
Damn, beat me to it! I was just thinking smurfette would be more interested in this than the male smurfs.
Watch makers rejoice!! No more wrist injuries from incesent manual screw tightening.
wow did i not read that right the first time...
Same here! I wonder whether we both read it the same wrong way.
If the grip on those is standard size for lego figurines, i'd definitely be buying some
As if I don't have a hard enough time keeping track of my normal size tools.
If the Cavity Creeps get ahold of these, I'm screwed...
that was puntastic
to ty mi zakosiles imie :)
They would have to use a bit strong enough to penetrate Colgate's Tarter Shield... I don't see that happening.
completely pointless to own... unless your building a secret mini evil army.
What do you know of our top secret mini evil armies? Talk, fiend, or I'll set the mini hounds on you!
wtf?
Is there a miniature tool box to go with it? If not, no sale.
Best. Title. In some short time.
Agreed. I lol'ed.
Just what I need to drill Smurfette!
Ohhhh... so that was the joke.
I wish i knew what kind of camera was used...
Oh noes.......I was terrified to go out after watching driller killer, now people will have tiny versions??
I am never leaving the house again.
Noisy Cricket
Exactly what i thought the second i saw this!
It doesn't look like the motor will have enough torque to actually drill through anything other than cardboard (maybe)
gargamel you will have your COMEUPPANCE!
in soviet russia...wall drills you!
no but seriously
i hardly keep track of my tools...how am i suppose to keep track of these? my dogs will eat them!
In Soviet Russia, tools track you!
if this had a certain fruit logo on it, it would sell like crazy. iDrill for small minds.
Just what i need to finish my doomsday device!
I need one of these to put next to the swiss army knife on my keychain.
even better would be this in a swiss army knife
lord knows they have everything else in those things
So did you see me with Smurfet in the parking lot last night?? Yah.. I totally Smurfed her..
Right in the Smurfing parking lot!
"No Smurfing way?"
Smurf yah dude... Smurf yah..
Forget the drill, the chuck key will never stand a chance!
All a bit boring really......sorry couldn't help it....
I would ask what possible use this might have, but I'd just be told that it's great for graphics professionals.
these are cool as shit i love power tool
I'm incredibly disappointed that this is the only article tagged 'smurf'. More Smurf news please!
Electric dildo for girl smurf next?
i would actually use this all the time for detailing tiny shit
Go buy a dremel like a real person!
Smurf dentistry ... or Smurf brain surgery.
Oh boy, we're doomed
Praying Mantis gets his hands on these, oh noes
Wow, I always wanted to practice trepanation on others, now I can do so on insects, thusly avoiding the stigma that Jeffrey Dahmer incurred.
Damn, at least demo the thing... I was hoping to see this thing actually drill something. maybe an iphone or something like this...
