continuously variable transmission for optimum torque speed balance... how's
that song go? "Dreeeeeeam.. dream dream dream..."

Well, a pencil can be very powerful. But not in a torque sense
:-)
Maybe you can use something like

A (fat) pencil in your hand, torque through the flexible shaft
(and control from a foot-operated dimmer).

If you know any timelords, they carry a sonic screwdriver as part of their
standard off-world travelling kit. Not only can it undo and do up ANY type
of screw, it's also capable of dealing a death blow to almost any type of
cybernetic alien ( Daleks, Cybermen etc ) as well as being able to
autodiagnose, and often repair with just one screech and a stream of blue
light, just about any problem with any kind of on or off-world electronic or
mechanical device. Now THAT'S the electric screwdriver that you're looking
for. Walmart might carry them ...

invented. motor, variator, cvt, springs batteries.

These look close:

Replace the AC power supply with a battery pack and it's portable.

If that's unacceptable, there's always:

Just add an electric motor.

So where do I submit a resume and get an application to become a timelord?
Can I go back in time and fix all my bonehead mistakes? Are Daleks worse
than PITA consumers?

thank you sir, for your kind thoughts ! You too DeEvolutio, if they were

Well, since the Dalek war wiped out all of the timelords bar one, The
Doctor, it's now very difficult to get in touch with Gallifrey, as there's
no one there. I'm not sure that you could actually become a time lord
anyway, as having two hearts, and the ability to regenerate when things get
really tough for your body, are both prime requirements. If you can arrange
to have something very scary from another planet / time / dimension, get on
your case ( most types of awkward customers qualify ), the Doctor's TARDIS
may well sense this, and bring him to you. Then, you could either become one
of his travelling companions, and go back and fix your mistakes, and of
course forward, to correct ones that you haven't made yet, or, if he has a
bunch of spare sonic screwdrivers that you can buy, you could probably make
a very good living on eBay for a few years with them. There's at least one
customer on here for one, already.

And never underestimate Daleks. They are very VERY dangerous, especially
since they added " LEVITATE !!!! " to their vocabulary, and you can no
longer stand at the top of your stairs, out of range of their gun and bath
plunger, laughing at their inability to come after you . Take due warning
....
