  The Guinness World Records' record for the largest non-powered hand drill measures 15.15 m (49 ft 8 in) long and the handle is 10.3 m(33 ft 9 in) wide. It was created by Miljenko Mustapic (Croatia), and was presented and measured in Imotski, Croatia, on 12 March 2011. The drill is an outsized replica of an existing traditional hand drill.

  Guinness World Records also recognized the world record for the smallest toothpick sculpture; it is a 19.86-mm-tall (0.782-in) replica of the Empire State Building made from a single toothpick by Steven J. Backman (USA), as verified in New York City, New York, USA, on 18 December 2014.

   3D Print reported that Lance Abernethy, ordinary man from Auckland, New Zealand, who works as a maintenance engineer, fixing machinery in a factory, has built the smallest 3D-printed working drill machine.   
 The drill was printed on his 3D printer and measures just 17mm tall and 7.5mm wide. It is built using a miniature motor, a tiny button and a hearing aid battery.    The drill was printed on his 3D printer and measures just 17mm tall and 7.5mm wide.

   He printed the case using Autocad software with the reference design scaled down from the original.

   It took him three hours to solder the parts, squeeze the entire contents into the case and create the mini model. The drill can make holes into soft objects. Lance is not heading to create an even smaller drill as a record.
