    Here's the one's I bought for doing computer and other e-scrap, the blue one seems to last longer on a charge. $19.95 each, the blue one I got from Menards, the other Ace hardware. You just push a button and you twist it for getting into tight places. The 6" bits are real handy for taking screws out of tv's and monitors. Be sure to read up on discharging a tv before attempting a teardown.

    Ok, I guess I'll have to do a little more research!

I use a cordless drill for screwdriver bits, a grinder and Sawzall a lot. But I also use a tractor with forks and bucket a lot, too.

    ^^^^Why didn't you back him up? considering this members first thread, H.V.P had the perfect response IMO..

    Nothing against HPV and I sometimes also say to do a search. In this case, I simply felt like giving a direct response - he'd already gotten the "do a search" response. No use in "piling on".
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.
