On a whim, I bought a 4v Black and Decker power screwdriver. I didn't have a plan for it.

I've now used it build 4 wheels. Obviously not to completion but it gets all the mundane twisting done in a minute. I've used it to install brake rotors, switching to hand tools for final torque.

License plate holders.

The bracket that holds my ignition coil.

And it's got a flashlight!

Obviously not a do everything tool but I'm sure pleased with the way it simplifies other tasks.

how many ugga duggas is it spec'd for?

When are you gonna hook it up to your rear hub and dial it up to the full 4 volts?

I saw the video you're talking about.

So I actually have a 36V Bosch Rotary Hammer in my garage. It'll punch 12-14 5/8"x8" holes in limestone and 20+ 1/2"x4 in granite.

Probably good for a pretty hot lap around the block.

I wonder if it'll fit on my unicycle?

Full send. Slow-mo video in 16:9 format preferred.

You would probably have to measure in milli-Ugga-Duggas.

metric-ugga-dugga spec is 8N-m, but you really should be holding a Carlsberg instead of a Bud Light, which I think is part of the American spec.

I think I've had a lot more Carlsberg than Bud light in my life.

Elephant isn't bad either and all the homeless guys seem to like it.

It is wonderful to find a tool that you enjoy using. What are you going to do with all those wheels?

Oh, you asked, now you're going to get an answer.

My old gravel bike had a 3.5 degree hub I wanted on my mountain bike.

My new gravel bike had a hub that wouldn't take an XD freehub.

And I wanted a new set of wide mountain bike rims.

So I disassembled the new gravel bike wheel and ordered a new hub. I then reassembled that wheel and took that hub and moved it over to the old gravel bike. Then I took that hub and ordered a new front hub and built a new set of wheels for that bike.

I didn't need to get new spokes for the rebuilds, since I knew what I was doing and did a bit of homework.

As for what I'm planning to do, sell the old, ride the new, and go mountain biking.

I also realize I have like 90% of a new bike sans frame now, so maybe the screwdriver will get more use.

i wouldn't be at ease with more then a couple of wheel sets sitting around. The solution was to get rid of them for things of immediate want/need or store them out of sight yet within easy reach. They found themselves in a nice storage area, but wouldn't mind still trading them off. one set has 0 use, other has less than a few seasons worth of use.

The only one sitting is a pretty classy Campy Chorus/Open Pro set from my Tallerico, I like the Stan's 3.30ti + Alpha 340 set better most times.

I guess now that my mountain bike has new wheels, there's a low end bontrager set sitting.

Everything else gets ridden pretty regularly.
