Wasn't sure really to post this one, but I was just wondering if anyone uses an electric screwdriver w/ torque adjustment. (They use pneumatic ones at work, and they are really fast, and you never over-tighten a screw!) I was just sitting here thinking about how nice it would be to tear down and rebuild a vehicle in no time with the aid of this tool. If anyone has any ideas, makes, models, please let me know.
I was looking at this but don't know what kind of bits it has available for it.

Dam link didnt work, just search screwdriver, and the skil one will pop up as most popular
Thanks a bunch guys, the ones I looked at are crazy hi-tec like the ones they use at work, only electric instead of pneumatic. I'm going to look at the ones you mentioned if I can't get one through work. Heres real similar to what I actually had in mind at first. Only the direct-plug-in model instead.

i used to use one but stopped, I dont even know where mine is anymore. From what i have seen guys strip out more shit when they use an electric screwdriver
The $40 Skil Lipo one is Great! Granted it doesn't have a clutch($40), but if you have any wrenching skillz, you should be able to feel/hear when a screw is getting tight. If your stripping screws with an electric, your probably hamhanding your Tx too!!! imho
They are nice for those long ones though. Or the really tight ones like under the chassis. I have been thinking about getting one just for those reasons.
I picked up the black and decker version of the skil one today at Target, I don't really need to wrench on anything now, but I was screwing around with it and it seems to be plenty powerful enough for what we are going to use them for on the RC's.
i need some hex bits i have the drill, but 34 bucks.....
