Does anyone have a suggestion of what to look for, brand, etc?

Why? I have one but have not used it in over 35 years. The cordless
drill made it obsolete. Faster, easier, more versatile, IMO.

First is the cool factor, and the second is it's an "alcohol powered
tool" as Roy would call it. I have a tool bag in the van that I take to
my relative's because I'm the handyman. A battery powered drill requires
charging and space, and I'd rather not mess with either. For shooting in
a couple screws, I think the Yankee Screwdriver would be just the thing.
