So does the genuine Veroboard cutter. It's just a stub drill mounted
in a blue plastic handle, and its only advantage is that it's easier to
hold. There's quite a good picture at

You can probably get one from Farnell in NZ. The part number from the
(UK, Farnell-In-One) catalogue is 329-538. It looks similar but not
identical in my catalogue to the one in the CPC catalogue, which is
interesting because Farnell and CPC are part of the same group and
share stock. Same price, though, UKP 6.60 (and the NZ price is
NZ$25.94).
