Default Hand turn drill

I am looking for the drill bits attached to like a screwdriver handle for hand drilling instead of power drilling. If anyone has a link where to buy them or know of a place to buy them let me know.

Thank

Micromark and Tamiya make ones that will take bits up to 1/4". How big do you need to go?

Here is a Testors pin vice set sold by Tower Hobbies. Tower also sell the Hobbico Quick Drill Set which I have and is a very nice set of five starting at 1/16 going up from there, all with nice knurled machined handles.

For what we do the highest of quality is not of a necessity, especially drilling by hand. So I bought a pin vise and a small bit set at Harbor Freight for about five bucks. The bit set was a 30 piece although in metric still works great for hand work.
