    Thanks for the more relevant location shift.

    I particularly was interested in this video because of the tapping drill. I thought it might have been the same as one I have: Nearly but not quite. Mine is a Lesto, who made their name inventing the jigsaw I think. They indeed used the name Scintilla, which is mentioned in the video.

    Lesto was before Bosch, who bought them out.

    It is one of four Lesto tools I have. The second from the top, which was the first I acquired, was originally for slotted screws: It had a shroud that covered the head of the screw to prevent it slipping off while screwing. I converted it to a hex head driver many years ago.

    The other two are conventional drills, but the family resemblance between them all is unmistakable.

    They are characterised by a ridiculously small grip.
