I use a black & decker cordless screwdriver with clutch to work on PCs. Saves me a ton of time and pain. It is too big and heave to use on my chopper though.

Does anyone know of a small/light cordless screwdriver/nutdriver/boltdriver with clutch that would be appropriate for working on a heli?

Thanks

hell, I just use a full size Panasonic power drill w/ clutch and
a power bit. Works great.

Really? I know the clutch will keep you from stripping (mine does too) but my B&D is just too big/clumsy for me. You dont find yours too big/clumsy? What model is it?

well, I will tell you that any clutch setting higher than 4 will
rip the head clean off an M3 screw (guess how I know that).

I use long power bit type inserts w/ ball head, like a Bondhaus
driver. I use the drill where appropriate, not everywhere. Mostly
in frame sections.

Other than that, a good hardened handwrench and Wiha 5.5mm
socket driver.
