Warning !! Tool ---- Warning

Hitachi make a 10.8 and a lower powered screwdriver, but the RR IMO is the Westfalia multi position screwdriver: Buy Westfalia Twist Meister Cordless Screwdriver Online | Westfalia Tools - https://www.westfalia.net/shops/tools/cordless_tools/cordless_tools_and_accessories/screwdrivers/1478350-westfalia-7-2-v-twist-meister-cordless-screwdriver.htm I use it so often its almost part of me, only annoying thing about it is the positioning of the reverse switch, its under your palm when using it and gets pushed inadvertently, but still one of the best tools I have invested in over the last few years.

But I ain't gonna pull it yet! Emailed Wiha last night to ask about warranty details and other details about it. I also offered to give them an in depth review (as a long standing member of herein) if they wished to send me one for nowt! I told them that they have manufactured an item from my head and that they have probably broken intellectual property laws somewhere along the way! And so far the buglers haven't got back to me! Did loads of bottom kissing too in the email, extolling the virtues of their drivers and snips.. Maybe they are still translating it from bad English to good English to Deutsche..

Can't beat capn birdseyes fish fingers...

fish have fins, not fingers.

Further to my post above it seems that Westfalia no longer offer this unit, but I have found it elsewhere: https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00Z841YXU/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 still using the original and its still part of my go to equipment.

Also found this very useful: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Wera-056490-Tool-Check-Ratchet-Sockets/dp/B00I8MYMT2 make sure you get the one with the green handle on the end, they offer one without.

You’d be as well using a ratchet driver instead

And you could buy 40 at the price of the WIHA driver. It must be easier just to turn your wrist left and right.
Nice gadget though 10/10.

I know roll on ELEX in Coventry Wiha are there, there will be trouble ahead between me and Mrs Pete999, all good fun till she gets the Bank statement, then look out.

Not Till should be until surely not, you Pedant
