Power wire-wrap (tm) tools seem a rather frivolous idea at first, however they give a much better wrap in less time than the hand tools. The best ones are those powered directly by 110V AC. The rechargeable ones are slower, and like all rechargeable things, run out of charge right when you need them most. The Gardner-Denver tools also seem to me to be more solidly constructed than many of the others and are more expensive of course. "Just Wrap" isn't called "Just Cr*p" for nothing!! Paul Wilcox-Baker.
