I wonder how many times you would be able to use it before it dies.
It may seem difficult at first! But everything is difficult at first.

I had a play with one of those electric B&D wrenches at the weekend actually on a B&Q display.

Total shite - there is so much slack in the mechanism that it opens up and falls off the bolt head as the wrench is turned.
I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman, "Where's the self-help section?"
She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

I was retiling a wall and the householder was hanging around asking what I was doing at every stage. I explained the laser level I used to draw the line for the top tiles and he studied the instrument carefully. On the second day I found that the pattern left me 1 patterned tile short so I left a space for it and continued along the top row. My hovering overseer asked what the space was for so I told him. "That's a laser guided missed tile."

More compact than a nail gun too for tight spaces but limited for lots of uses.

It could sell well to women, quite a good idea for those that want to put in the odd nail or two and have long finger nails.

not shure if they would be much use if you havent got normal to strong wrists

you need to hold it rigid or it wil just pivot around the switch
