Possibly the best tool in my tool kit! Batavia screwdriver.

They have very little power, but that's the whole idea. Something small and lightweight that takes out a socket screw. It's not up to screwing stuff into concrete or wood

Actually now I can see how they would save time

How odd that it has no flat bits.

I note it is suitable for ladies though so that's good. The amount of screwdrivers around that ladies can't use eh.

I'm rather hoping it might make me more attractive to the fairer sex.

This lad from Amazon has same spec as the Batavia driver. £22.99 with free delivery. 30% off voucher presently showing on listing brings it down to £16.09. At that price it seemed worth a punt.

*Edit: No slotted blade included, but uses standard 6.35mm bits (1/4" to Tel).

Just bought 2 of these from Amazon.
Nice tool, but had to buy separate flat bits.
Only gripe is you can't switch off the buttons. As a result, I keep pressing the button by accident when I'm not ready, which is really annoying.
Guess I'll get used to it.

All I have so far is a dispatch notification that appeared earlier today ?

I've got a Bosch electric screwdriver... and whilst it doesn't come to play that often, it's very very handy for plate screws in awkward places and/or where you're trying to get a screw to catch on the threads ! Saved me alot of time and endless amounts of swearing !

Is there out for opening jam jars?

This works really well for jam jars and similar where you can't get a proper grip of a smooth surface:

and I always thought that was a bondage accessory.

Of course not!
You need to get the larger one at £11.98 for that sort of thing...

Mine arrived today and I'm very pleased with it. Its abilities are limited in comparison to other electric screwdrivers, but compromises are in the right areas - it's a screwdriver that provides assistance, rather than something bulky that also happens to drive screws.
