She did all of my printing and I got to visit her a lot more. I was there one day when her office machine tech came in and he was using one of those Milwaukee inline, right? I have the Black and Decker version, it has rechargable batteries which I charge overnight at home and always have a spare with me, I like it's self-locking collet for breaking loose those really tight screws before I let it do the rest of the turning out. It's my 3rd power screwdriver, the first 2 were like this Coleman and had no removable batteries so when the batteries died so did they! I started using them when I was diagnosed with carpal tunnel 13 years ago, I had the surgery 3 years ago but now it's a habit and IMHO a real timesaver! I used to carry a whole set of screwdrivers, now I have a few small ones, a good one for tightening/removal of hammer flanges, whippen flange screws etc. and of course the big flatblade and phillips for plate screws. The rest stay in the truck and I run and get them if I need them. Instead I carry an assortment of blades and nutdrivers to fit the B&D, a 1/4" for Dampp-Chaser installs and a 3/8' or 5/16" can't remember which, for those Baldwin action machine screws.
