Sarah at A Steno Pad For My Thoughts writes about the tools she uses:

I have a dual speed 12 volt cordless drill that is lightweight enough
that my hands don’t get tired making hundreds of something and has
enough power for what I use it for with my products. I think it cost me
around $80. (Though, I also use a tabletop drill press for some items
in the shop.) Also, I don’t use vises
or clamps when drilling though it makes one person in my house very
nervous, I have been able to simply hold what I am drilling in my hand
just fine.

She talks more about items I’ve always been interested in like awls. It’s a neat-o look behind the scenes of this craft shop!
