yea i have those with the handle too with the mip as well. they are shorter then the mip which makes it nicer with the powerscrewdriver. but the mip are better bits overall

I don't know why I never thought about using one of these before. I just ordered the Dewalt with the gyroscope and the Associated bits to assemble the Xray XB2 I have ordered. I'm sure I'll be kicking myself for not getting one sooner once I discover how much time I save, and also cut out the pain and strain on my forearms and hands.

I use the Ryobi TEK4 with the MiP speed tips, been a solid setup for me.

I got one of these from the Mrs for my Birthday and I love it.

http://www.blackanddecker.com/en-us/...wdriver/li2000

Works great with my AE FT screw hexes and I have a small tool kit that I use. As I have gotten older, my hands Def. feel it after twisting and taking out screws. this makes the job SOOOO much easier.

Saw this on sale at Target the other day for $21.

My dewalt showed up in the mail yesterday. Can't wait to try it out. Spring for the MIP tips though, the AE tips are poopy.

Crap, I wish I had known that earlier. I got them in today and already started using them, so I can't return them. I'll get the MIP ones next time.

Same here, No issues so far. got it for 14.99 last year.
Another Vote for the inexpensive Black and Decker. clutch is plenty soft. I actually have two of them.

Ryobi Tek4 with Protek "TruTorque" tips.

Also use it around the house a lot (have screw driver tips, star tips, a 1/4" socket adapter, sockets, etc).

I agree, I have the original MIP Hex drivers (remember when they were called thorp??) and compared to my newer HUDY drivers the MIP are always perfect. The HUDY is REALLY good though. Much better than ProTek which I also have.

I think it's time I had a garage sale.

Panasonic EY7410LA2S 3.6-Volt Lithium-Ion Drill/Driver Kit

Been using it for awhile with Hudy tips, works great. Seen a few of them at ETS races as well
