Hello again everyone,

I am looking for a high quality pistol grip hand crank drill (whew, too many adjectives!). I'm a student aircraft mechanic and these work very, very well for quickly countersinking sheetmetal in prep for installing flush rivets. My instructor got his through military surplus--a stainless medical drill, actually--but the store has long since sold out. I found this, http://www.amazon.com/Fiskars-8511-6984-PowerGrip-Drill/dp/B00004T80S ,but wonder about the quality. Any ideas guys?

Also, I'm looking to buy any or all of Wright 1318, 1322, 1326, and 1330 full-polish double open end wrenches.

And finally, I'm looking for Milbar Tigerwave safety wire pliers. These pliers, in lieu of serrated jaws, have two matching curved jaw surfaces which do not mar the surface of the wire like serrated versions. Any knicks in the wire can lead to failure, a dangerous condition in aviation.

Thanks!
Jason

Looks like most all the negative reviews on Amazon come from people upset that no bits are included. Sure it would be nice to find an oldschool version made of metal and wood, but...if you've got a specific use in mind, get it until you find a better one!
