I find it very difficult to leave a hardware or auto shop without a heat gun, a ratcheting spanner set or some new air tool on top of the three bolts I went in there for. And while I've never had to screw a wall together or install a deck – and I have no plans to start in the immediate future – I'd still find it incredibly hard to resist one of these things if I ever saw it in person. It's a belt-feed screwdriver. A freakin' <em>belt-feed screwdriver</em>. Load it up with a strip of screws, and you're ready to screw more things in quicker succession than you'd ever have dreamed possible.
