If you don't want to bother getting your electric drill out just to make a starter hole for a screwfew/a screws you could use one of two small hand tools.
A. a bradawl which is a small tool.like a small screwdriver but with a pointed end
B a gimlet/twist gimlet which is a T-shaped tool that you twist into wood to make a hole (it resembles a small corkscrew)

∙ 15y agoAnswer If you want to just make a hole for a screw in a piece of wood or metal all you need to is use a drill with a drill bit that is slightly smaller than the screw. If you make the hole the same size the screw will just pull out of the hole. Now if you want to make a hole in a piece of metal so that it has threads in it so that you can thread a bolt or screw in it then you will need to first drill then tap the hole. You would use the tap size that fits the bolt or screw that you are using.

Did convicts buy their tools or make them with other tools?
The first tools used by convicts in Australia were supplied by Great Briatin, and brought with the First Fleet. These tools were unsuitable for use, as they broke easily in the hard Australian soil. The tools then needed to be replaced, but there were few convicts in the First Fleet who had the skills for tool-making. They would have used parts of the broken tools to make new ones which would serve them until free tradesmen (and perhaps better skilled convicts in subsequent fleets) arrived in the colony.

To make a Beyblade tip is easy, but you will need an existing tip to make a new one. You will need an L-Drago tip or a Thermal Liserta tip. 1) Cut off the bottom part of the tip. 2) Take a launcher and unscrew the screw from it. 3) Use the screw driver to make the hole bigger, and screw on the screw. You now have a stamina/attack tip.
What size drill bit for number 6 wood screw?
The rule I was taught was 2 sizes up if it is a pilot hole. I think that would amount to 7/16ths. But this also can depend on the material you are driving into. If it is more delicate and prone to splitting (in the case of wood) you might want to only go up 1 size then.
