Anyone know of a small spiral-ratchet (yankee-type) screwdriver which
takes standard hex-shaft screwdriver bits?

Struck me it would be ideal for fixing pipe clips as the cordless drill
is
invariably tied up with a drill bit so I usually end up driving the
screws
with an ordinary screwdriver.


I saw one in B&Q on Friday. www.diy.com is so piggin useless I can't find
it!

But you would be better off with one of these

Fantastic for jobs like yours.

Check out E Bay, got mine for £35.


A Yankee? Boy!!!!

The Makita Impact driver for £52. It competes with an 18v drill/driver in
performance.

Seen them on Ebay for a lot cheaper too.

The Makita is small and goes in the ruler pocket - ideal! If you want an
Impact Driver that drives in lag bolts and is cheap enough then try a Sparky
from s/fix at around £99. The Ryobi is well priced too.
