[MESSAGE FOLLOWS] IndustrialCraft2's mining drill fits into a unique niche in the world of Minecraft mods--it's more powerful than a pickaxe, thanks to its recharge-ability, but it's still within reach of people who aren't lucky enough to have stumbled across a set of diamonds, or who haven't made a massive number of machines. Problem is, it uses IC2's energy, and not everyone wants to add an entire energy system for the sake of one drill. The tools in Redstone Arsenal might be powerful, but they need a heck of a lot of fancy stuff, and they're definitely end-game material. Modular Powersuits has a mid-tier tool--but they haven't updated to 1.7.10 yet, and there's a lot more than just a drill in there. What if you only want to have an iron pick that you can charge up with that ridiculous amount of RF you've got lying around? Enter the SimplyPowerTools mod. An addon to ThermalExpansion, this mod adds a drill that acts just like an iron pick--but can be charged up, either with your favorite Energetic Infuser or with the new Power Unit. To start, you'll need some copper and a couple iron gears--you can use the gears provided by ThermalExpansion or the ones from Buildcraft. Then, by sticking a pickaxe onto that gear, and adding some iron to pad it out... You get a drill! How to charge it? Simply craft another Power Unit, connect it to a source of RF, equip your drill, and hold down the right mouse button. It's like magic!
New in the latest version: That's right, you can now craft the Chainsaw! It's just like the drill--just use an axe instead of a pick! How does an axe turn into a deadly wood-and-leaf-shredding chain of teeth? WE HAVE NO IDEA!
Version 0.1 can be downloaded here: DOWNLOAD LINK

looks awesome! i love simple mods like these, they're so useful! I see however that the download link points to the 0.1 version, is the 0.2 not officially out yet?
