    Mine came from a flea mkt, baught it new, back in 1981, for $5. I only use it on my own stuff, as I'm not a mechanic. It's always worked perfect, still use the 4 bits that came with it. I'd rather not use a good one, cause if I saw how much better they were, I may be forced to buy one.

      $184.50????? *cough* *hack* *choke* *die*

      Methinks a $25 Craftsman will be quite good enough.

      If you really want to spend some dough, there's also Facom and Kowa Seiki. Some of this stuff is pure jewelry.

        I use craftsman. It works great. The bits are solid and I use them sometimes for some dodgy phillip heads. They grab very well.

          Impact Driver

          Ryobi makes a cordless 18 volt impact driver that works very well taking everything from small fasteners on carbs to engine cases. It also works much better than a power drill for installing deck screws. With battery and charger its about $80 at Lowes. Its one of the most useful tools I've bought in the last several years.
