<DIV><FONT face="Arial Narrow"> I have a pretty old (late
80's?) Black & Decker slim cordless screwdriver (no hefty battery pack at
the bottom of the handle). It's great because it has a long, narrow,
tapered snout that will fit behind fallboards, down between keys for grand
action brackets, between pedal levers, etc. It has very good torque and
the batteries stay charged for several weeks at least. Most of
the new ones I see on the market have a stubby, fat snout that doesn't let you
get in to any narrow places unless you use a super long bit.

<DIV><FONT face="Arial Narrow"> Now if only they would build
a flashlight into the unit that points to the business end of the bit . .

<DIV><FONT face="Arial Narrow"> Hard to believe I used to
unscrew all those keyslips, key blocks, key stop rails, action bracket screws,
etc. by hand.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>Remember when cordless tools first made their appearance? My
first cordless/rechargeable drill had something like a 3.2V battery. Then
came larger, longer lasting models..5V, 7V, then a 9.9v followed by
12v,14v,15.9v.<BR><BR>Now we have 18v and even 24v monsters.<BR><BR>Someday
someone will come up with one that actually has a 110v AC cord attached
right to it!! ;-)<BR><BR>Paul E. Dempsey, RPT<BR>Piano Technician
