Tool for making holes (5)

I believe the answer is:

drill

(Other definitions for drill that I've seen before include "Mollusc that preys on oysters" , "Twilled cotton; soldiers' exercise" , "primate is > bore" , "Rehearsal; boring tool" , "Put a hole in" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald and the USA Today.
