Another tool that sounds like this is METRINCH.  Gerhart on this list
turned me on to this tool.  They have a nice homepage at
www.metrinch.com.  Not wanting to invest the $130 in a set I found a
millwright at work that had a set.  Haven't used them yet 'cause the
screws are still soaking.  Have others on the list tried this
product...any reports?
