<div> <font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">I have two of the Milwaukees plus one extra battery. Very nice tool. The most recently purchased one came with a well-machined Jacobs chuck which also comes in very handy. Got some long bits for those hard-to-reach action bracket screws (and ground down the part of the bit shank that would be up against the sostenuto rail on a NY S&S). BTW, since starting to use a power screwdriver, I have replaced action bracket screws with Philips heads (1" #10 pan heads) since they capture the bit so much better than a slot screw. <br>

built-in battery, as back-up/loaner, since it was sooo much less
expensive and also does a decent job.</font><br>

<div>I have been using a Milwaukee electric screwdriver (looks identical to a Panasonic one) for maybe ten years now. The batteries take fifteen to twenty minutes to recharge. I use two batteries: one in the driver and one spare in my main tool kit. When the one dies, it takes about thirty seconds to replace it. The dead one gets recharged that night and put back in as a spare. These are cylindrical batteries about the size of a combination tool handle. </div>
