Dangerous. One tends to not get faster, which makes it harder to avoid the 
lynchings for charging too much.

I did the last one on the floor of a teacher's studio with my regular old 
hand crank screwdriver. Half way through, my knees agreed with you about 
taking the action to the shop, but I was too far gone by then to get up and 
leave with it. I agree with John that power screwdrivers in aluminum rails 
are chancy.
