  Gimlet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The cutting action of the gimlet is slightly different from an auger, however, as the end of the screw, and so the initial hole it makes, is smaller; the cutting edges pare away the wood which is moved out by the spiral sides, falling out through the entry hole.
This also pulls the gimlet further into the hole as it is turned; unlike a brad awl, pressure is not required once the tip has been drawn in.
The name "gimlet" comes from the Old French guimbelet, probably a diminutive of the Old English "wimble", and the Scandinavian wammie, to bore or twist; the modern French is gibelet.

 Wordwizard Clubhouse - gimlet (eyes and vodka or gin)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)

Today the gimlet is made with gin or vodka, sweetened lime juice, and sometimes soda water.
