Dear Listers,
I don't know, maybe everyone but me already knew about this little gem of a tool, but in case you missed it, I thought I share. If you don't have one of these, run - don't walk - down to your local Home Depot or Ace Hardware store and get one! All of those #8 screws in the RVs are a giant pain to work in and out and some are just impossible to get to. I've been using this little guy on the RV-8 project and can't image not having it now. The bendable shaft is really strong and you can bend the heck out of it without impacting the torque. Its about $13 at Home Depot which is a great deal considering how handy it is.
Here's a link to it on the Ace Hardware web page. I also attached a picture of mine attached to my Dewalt electric screw driver.

Here's another useful tool!

The Knipex parallel action pliers (in the larger size) works well as a rivet squeezer for #3 rivets.
The handles angle off about 45 deg. compared to a regular squeezer where they are at 90 deg.
The particular situation where I found the tool useful was in riveting platenuts to F-615 which is the
outboard seat rib in the 6. The armrest was in the way of a regular squeezer.
