Helping others is one of the main purposes of this list.  If we could
get the UPS guy to move faster, I'm sure we would.

>If you are going to use the power tips a lot as hand drivers, but the magnetic handle to hold them, not a regular nut driver.  The difference is that the nut driver has a hardened tip and a recess for the bolt, but probably not magnetic.  The handle has a longer 1/4 inch recess, the magnet and no recess for the bolt which you do not need.  You can use the nut driver in a pinch, but the handle is better and they come in different lengths so you can reach things, not so important for a K3, but very important for airplanes.
