List, Here is a (very timely) response I received. There are a few other websites which give indication as to how long a single charge lasts. I seem to remember it being around 70% of a Li-Ion (or was it NiCad) or something like that. Since it's from Australia originally I wonder if Ron Overs knows who the original is. I'd rather get that than something / anything made in China. :-) Greg Newell Greg's Piano Forté www.gregspianoforte.com 216-226-3791 (office) 216-470-8634 (mobile) -----Original Message----- From: info at colemanflashcellscrewdriver.com [mailto:info at colemanflashcellscrewdriver.com] Sent: Thursday, March 06, 2008 11:46 AM To: Greg Newell Subject: Re: Coleman flashcell screwdriver Hello Greg, Thanks for the email. The product is designed in Australia be a company named Demain (www.demain.com.au). We work with a company that brought the Flashcell technology into Canada/America and branded it Coleman. The product is manufactured in China from the Australian designs. The capacitors are very safe. They have hundreds of thousands of charge/recharge cycles. A typical battery has around 300 to 400 charge/recharge cycles. On the stick model, the head does not pivot.. but the duo model (which isnt available yet does. That should be available soon. They are working with many other FlashCell tools and I will let you know when the sale website is up.. we are working with them to build it now. I think it is very practical for use . Since the charge time in only 90 seconds.. you can work almost nonstop. I have many factories that put things together order on a regular basis.. they find these much better than the typical battery screwdrivers. I hope this helps.
