Our friends over at Toolmonger brought this handy little tool to our attention: Coleman 5.4V Cordless Flashcell Screwdriver. Yes, “flashcell.” Upon further investigation, this “flashcell” technology, which was developed in concert with Team Products International, appears to be based on a capacitor power supply system. As such, Coleman claims that their flashcell screwdriver can be completely recharged in 90 seconds. That’s right; in less time than it takes to read this paragraph you’d have a handful of 220 rpm 5.4 V portable, cordless, rechargeable screwdriver. No word yet on how well this power supply system works, or, how many fasteners it is able to drive between charges. —Dave Prochnow
