I"m waiting on y'all to finish this debate to point me to the right rig for itty bitty bits. Just broke my last 76 size bit, that's .5mm I think.

If you mean pin vises to hold the carbide bits, that would be the 2nd gen DSPIAE hand drill, the DULIWO I got is great so far, or the DSPIAE, or Arrowmax with a three jaw chuck.

I have a couple of those "non true" tiny chucks someplace. Invariably they are fine for tiny pin vices but not so much for powered hole drilling. (unless you get lucky)

Here is how the variable pin vice works out Bob, I use it mostly to hold the carbide bits. BUT! There are times when you need that flexible little wire drill, or something more substantial. This one covers all the bases and does everything I need up to the bit I show in pic 5. It runs true. The button for your palm has a ball bearing in it that turns freely. The chuck works super nice with hand tightening. It works and is comfortable.
The fact that it holds down to #80 wire drills is a huge plus even though I don't use that feature often. When I need it though it is there.
The large size bit is a bit of an overshoot for a hand held pin vice, but this gives the whole breadth of what it "can" hold.
