I'v started using my eletric drill to do up bolts etc, and then finish them off by hand.
I know it's lazy but do others do it?

No. Seems more hassle than just doing them up. Most are allen bolts anyway.I don't do smileys.

I'd rather sh*t in my hands and clap than buy one of those at that price!0

Using a cordless drill is great for disk bolts, until you forget to take it off hammer setting !0

A drill with a screwdriver setting will be fine. But not generally worthwhile, on pushirons. I use mine a lot on the motorbike because it's held together with about 10 million M6 allen head bolts, but on the pushbikes there's not enough to make it worthwhile. Decent t-handles will let you do them almost as fast.Uncompromising extremist0
