jeff - I have one of these exact tools, (the screw driver attachement

you can remember when markets gave you these "savings stamps" as a
premium for shopping there - I think filling stations gave these out
too - there were "blue chip" and S&H gree stamps - I may even have part
of a book filled with them still.

Heck yes, I remember them well. And I also emember the ration stamps and
tokens my mom needed to buy meat and butter during WWII. I still have
her little black change purse with some of the coin shaped fibre "one
point" tokens in it.

S&H is still around, only they're computerized now:

These things are great - with an old style 1/4 inch drill you can get a
lot of torque and a reasonable speed, and you can modulate hte speed by
letting the outer rim slip in your hand a little.

We shall see what the cheezy thing I listed on ebay brings - so far
only your bid but maybe someone will come to the rescue and make me
rich

ok guys - make my day, buy this piece of sh*t
