    If your talking about production, you might want to consider pneumatic system.

    I use battery impact for most screws. I also have a pneumatic impact with quick release bit just like the battery jobs. I find with the air impact is if im not careful ill strip the head or mess my bit up. I am now just using it for nuts and bolts instead of screws and went back to my battery impact.

    The Makitas sure look nice. I've got an 18 volt Dewalt drill driver but it isn't balanced well for that kind of work. The vast majority of the time i use hand tools. Everything that i need to do e-waste fits in a one gallon plastic pail. It's pretty simple.

    As far as mini tool sets the most useful thing i've run across was a screw driver that stores the bits in the handle. It's got small slotted bits, small Phillips, and small Torx bits. All of the bits are double ended so it packs a lot of tool into a very small space. There's a retaining slot for each of the bits so you can tell right off that one has gone missing somewhere on the bench.

    Got mine at a discount store but i've heard they sell them at Home depot.

    I'd look into Ridgid. They work great. I've thrown mine around a lot. And the battery and tools have a lifetime warrenty
