I own the Panasonic model mike linked, I use it daily at work, saves my hands/wrists a lot of strain compared to using a conventional cordless drill/driver while sitting at a bench, as well as in the field. I share the same sentiment about the speed, I never use the lower speed setting, and wish the higher setting was faster. The length can be an issue in tight spaces but the handle does pivot and if in doubt I use a right angle attachment.
