Warning !! Tool ---- Warning

Got one of these too...

The screwdriver bits are rubbish so I use aftermarket ones, but this little chap really does a good job on light-duty repetitive stuff where wielding a "proper" drill/driver would be awkward and tiring.

I will wait for Festool to bring out a really nice version

Well, fish is a fairly generic term. Could be Haddock I suppose. Or you can get Hake now, or a bit of Dogfish in various modern guises.

Got my finger on the trigger!

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...
