That little Bosch might be the best micro driver, it will drive something like a 100 screws in to a wood deck before a recharge but something with that kind of torque will shred right through your car.
Yes the Bosch, Milwaukee and Ridgid liions are 10-12 volts. Yes we are screwing into plastics. Yes you have to have a feel for what you are screwing into. You don't go driving your car around the track full throttle do you????? Lets hope not, if you have just a LITTLE BIT of throttle control you'll be ok I promise.......
