Stripboard track cutter handle

Cut copper tracks on stripboard

Push a 6 mm drill bit shank first into the socket and the handle turns it into a track cutter: set the point in a stripboard hole and twist, and the copper track is cut cleanly through without a drill or a craft knife lifting the copper.
