Subject: Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Screw Driver to Drill Chuck Adaptor

Screwdrivers are built for low-speed and high torque, the exact opposite of
what's needed for drilling small holes. It might be possible to set up a
gear drive using the hex drive, but that still leaves the problem of
coupling to the chuck.
