    Almost there…

    A small cordless drill with a torque setting plus a driver set. A short flexible bit holder for the tight spots.

    Drop the torque setting all the way down then use the drill for most of the work. Then finish tightening with a reacheting screwdriver.

      Between the size of the drill and the constant adjusting of torque I really prefer hand tools here. You can feel when the screws and cams are in place.

        I bought a $15 cordless screwdriver for this exact reason and it’s great. No need to drag out the whole 18v drill but it makes fastening things much quicker and the built in torque limiter means I can cinch every bolt in a chair up to the same spec easily.
