Micro drill adaptor

I've been looking through the latest ArcEuro catalogue which came with Model Engineer and noticed that they have recently introduced a reasonably
priced micro drill adaptor: http://www.arceurotrade.co.uk/Catalogue/New-Products/Micro-Drill-Adaptor which could reduce the breakage of small drills as the feed is under fingertip control.
Has anyone tried one?

    Whatever you decide once you get it here's a useful modification for ya: http://www.flickr.com/photos/steamboat_ed/5760494502/in/set-72157624880649814     --I'm sure there's a way to shorten that URL but... ;-)

Yes, very good and so did the first 300 people who saw the advert as they have sold out. If you are desperate Myfords sell a similar model for £187

replying to Alan Dawes, Luscoj wrote: Alan. I bought one at the weekend, I have just rang ARC as I could not figure how it works. They explained that the micro adjustment is not controlled by a screw thread but just by pushing or pulling on the knurled wheel against the springed shaft. In other words it is not controlled by a micro thread just a manual push or pull. I will experiment further.

Thanks for that, but later that year - 2011 - I spoke to Ketan at Arc-Euro and bought one. Although I've not used it a lot it is very useful when using small drills I don't want to break.
