MR> GM> A battery operated what?

MR> GM> Nut rounder or adjustable spanner?

MR>Adjustable spanner. The handle was hollow and held an AA cell and a
MR>small motor drove a little belt with gears to the spanner's screw. And a
MR>2 position rocket switch on the top to select between open & close jaws.
MR>Very much a pocket gadget but I could see a use for one sometimes. Kind
MR>of like those electronic calipers... or laser levels... cool stuff!

MR>Speaking of gadgets, someone gave me a pocket electric screw driver made
MR>by Mastercraft with see through red tinted plastic. It's really small
MR>and it won't even loosen a screw. What's the point? I'm going to use it
MR>with a pin chuck to make tiny holes since it turns about 300 rpm.

I thought the "chuck" was the part into which one inserted
bits, (pin) etc. NOT the bit (pin). VBG
