For one thing, they fit in a tool pouch and are very handy while climbing
and working off ladders. I use one when installing signs on rail trails to
drill pilot holes in posts (I predrill and counter sink the signs
themselves). Combined with a regular screw driver, or Yankee screw driver,
yields a compact, light weight, reliable, electron free, way of making
holes
and driver fasteners. ...and they are cool. ;~)


That's why they make belt clips. Are you afraid of Earth running out
of electrons? Sure, there are only so many...

Running out of electrons when I need them... yes.

Ever been miles from the nearest road carrying all your tools with you?
Light and reliable rules!
They are cool. Long ago, someone was thinking. Far more interesting
than the egg beaters.

I've got egg beaters and braces too. There are times where they make a lot
of sense... I've got power drills, hammer drills, drywall drivers and a
drill press too.


Every time I use my drill press to hang drywall, the screws break the paper.

I think I need one more pulley on the speed stack.
