Anyone ever seen a pen-sized electric screwdriver?

Well, a pencil can be very powerful. But not in a torque sense :-) Maybe you can use something like

A (fat) pencil in your hand, torque through the flexible shaft (and control from a foot-operated dimmer).

Pen/pencil mightyer than the sword eh?

I would think the military covert guys would have a little screwdriver like that and consequentyly, it'd be on the civilian market..

If you know any timelords, they carry a sonic screwdriver as part of their standard off-world travelling kit. Not only can it undo and do up ANY type of screw, it's also capable of dealing a death blow to almost any type of cybernetic alien ( Daleks, Cybermen etc ) as well as being able to autodiagnose, and often repair with just one screech and a stream of blue light, just about any problem with any kind of on or off-world electronic or mechanical device. Now THAT'S the electric screwdriver that you're looking for. Walmart might carry them ...

Whomart?

My device isn't scifi. It's just a miniature combination of systems already invented. motor, variator, cvt, springs batteries.

this is cute, and $9.

Kinda looks like a dental handpiece.

These look close:

If that's unacceptable, there's always:

Dang J, that was freakin' hilarious! You're truly talented... thanks for the laugh, I needed that.

Me? I guess I missed what part of what I said was funny... perhaps you mis-followed the tree. Arfa's post was quite funny...

So where do I submit a resume and get an application to become a timelord? Can I go back in time and fix all my bonehead mistakes? Are Daleks worse than PITA consumers?

I try my best to bring a little levity into this otherwise dull world, and I thank you sir, for your kind thoughts ! You too DeEvolutio, if they were intended for me ...

Well, since the Dalek war wiped out all of the timelords bar one, The Doctor, it's now very difficult to get in touch with Gallifrey, as there's no one there. I'm not sure that you could actually become a time lord anyway, as having two hearts, and the ability to regenerate when things get really tough for your body, are both prime requirements. If you can arrange to have something very scary from another planet / time / dimension, get on your case ( most types of awkward customers qualify ), the Doctor's TARDIS may well sense this, and bring him to you. Then, you could either become one of his travelling companions, and go back and fix your mistakes, and of course forward, to correct ones that you haven't made yet, or, if he has a bunch of spare sonic screwdrivers that you can buy, you could probably make a very good living on eBay for a few years with them. There's at least one customer on here for one, already.

And never underestimate Daleks. They are very VERY dangerous, especially since they added " LEVITATE !!!! " to their vocabulary, and you can no longer stand at the top of your stairs, out of range of their gun and bath plunger, laughing at their inability to come after you . Take due warning ...
