FW: Coleman flashcell screwdriver

[Greg Newell]

List,
Here is a (very timely) response I received. There are a few other websites
which give indication as to how long a single charge lasts. I seem to
remember it being around 70% of a Li-Ion (or was it NiCad) or something like
that. Since it's from Australia originally I wonder if Ron Overs knows who
the original is. I'd rather get that than something / anything made in
China. :-)

Hello Greg,

Thanks for the email.  The product is designed in Australia be a company
named Demain (www.demain.com.au).  We work with a company that brought the
Flashcell technology into Canada/America and branded it Coleman. The
product is manufactured in China from the Australian designs.

The capacitors are very safe.  They have hundreds of thousands of
charge/recharge cycles. A typical battery has around 300 to 400
charge/recharge cycles.  On the stick model, the head does not pivot.. but
the duo model (which isn’t available yet does. That should be available
soon.  They are working with many other FlashCell tools and I will let you
know when the sale website is up.. we are working with them to build it
now.

I think it is very practical for use
. Since the charge time in only 90
seconds.. you can work almost nonstop. I have many factories that put
things together order on a regular basis.. they find these much better
than the typical battery screwdrivers.

I hope this helps.

Paul.
