Push Pull, Click Click
By Eric Dykstra
The ingenuity of the Yankee Screwdriver lies in its utility. This tool allows quick assembly and disassembly of anything you need to build or get into, without the cramps of a hand driver or the batteries and cords that come with a power tool. Easypower’s Push Pull driver — “Yankee Screwdriver” is a Stanley trademark — provides the functionality without the price, and it also uses standard 1/4″ hex bits so you won’t need an adapter.
The Easypower 81964 measures 17″ when fully extended and has a 5″ stroke. A thumb selector changes which direction the driver will turn or locks it in place for manual use. The driver comes with #1 and #2 Phillips bits, 4-5 and 8-10 slotted bits, and a 1/4″ hex-shank drill bit. One of these fellas’ll run you about $20.
