Why not?

no control - jumps out of screw and ruins work.

Lock the pump bit then. Still a whopping ratchet driver

Spiralux yankee`s were much more robust than Stanleys

Yes, my Stanley's only been around for about 40 years :-)

One of my first jobs was fixing seats in a rock venue, they needed
fixing a lot.

Stanley tools in general are decent quality but Spiralux Yankee`s
easily outlived the Stanleys that tended to launch the ratchet out the
tube after some abuse. Cordless tools were just a fantasy at the time.

Looking it up Spiralux Tools Ltd was re-registered in 1997 , currently
dormant but leads to Spear and Jackson`s site.
