There's one in my Toolstation catalogue - I think this is the one:


Hmmmn, doesn't say how big it is but looks at least 13"
Yankee(-equivalent) and only has own bits, not pozis :-(


==================================
It's a good price even if it isn't a 'genuine' Yankee. It's cheap enough
to experiment with, and the job you have in mind (fixing pipe clips) isn't
really very demanding.


Damn difficult to hold the screw, clip and driver in one hand while pumping
it with the other.
I expect after the first couple of slips and a bit of blood it will be
confined to the tool box like my yankee.
