It is expensive, but I reckon it could save up to 20 mins labour time per day. So over a week that's nigh on two hours. So it could pay for itself within a month or so. Not to mention the benefits of carrying out less twisty repetitive motions..

Did I over egg the time saving it would give? Probably.... Am I trying to justify in my own head the need for one? Abso - &+*#ing - lutely!!!

And seen as I had this idea a decade ago I feel it is a date with destiny!

Can the mods block LSK from seeing this post, we all know what he is like.....

I seen this today and loved it. It's extremely expensive though. Anything else like it?

I have had a Bosch IXO for a good few years does the job,

review here

Bosch IXO 3.6V Cordless Screwdriver - http://vladsgadgets.com/archive/bosch-cordless-screwdriver/

also as most people need to sort their tax affairs out within the next few weeks its all tax deductible

Got one of these too...

The screwdriver bits are rubbish so I use aftermarket ones, but this little chap really does a good job on light-duty repetitive stuff where wielding a "proper" drill/driver would be awkward and tiring.

I will wait for Festool to bring out a really nice version

Iv'e got one of those, still going strong. How old do you reckon? Might not look as fancy but does the same thing.
