== Overview ==
The [[Hand Drill]] is a basic [[tool]] that damages objects within melee distance. While primarily used to mine [[asteroid]]s for harvesting [[ores]] or for creating tunnels, the Hand Drill can also be used to make controlled dents in ship hulls for aesthetics or as a melee weapon against other players in [[Survival Mode]]. It features a built-in [[Ore Detector]] with limited range.

== Usage ==
Using the Hand Drill consumes [[Survival Mode#Suit Power|Suit Energy]]. When mining, the Hand Drill does not automatically pick up every ore it mines. Many chunks of ore will instead be set adrift as objects in the world to be collected manually. Holding the "Interact" key ([[Controls|default]]: 'T') while mining with the Hand Drill is generally recommended, as this will cause the player to pick up many of the ore chunks as they are created. When used to damage [[blocks]], the Hand Drill will not produce any [[Components]]; the [[Grinder (Tool)|Grinder]] is a better tool for destroying constructed items.

The player always spawns with one Grinder in their inventory if enabled in [[World Settings]], as well as a [[Grinder (Tool)|Grinder]], [[Welder (Tool)|Welder]], and an [[Automatic Rifle]]. Additional hand drills can be constructed in an [[Assembler]].

== Tips ==
