I have used these gripping screwdrivers, in a couple different sizes, for many years. The first one I had actually belonged to my dad and likely dated back to the 60's or 70's. Dad was an electrician and used a long, insulated shaft, gripper screwdriver when installing screws in tight (energized) spaces.
The small ones, like Mark pictured, are great for governor screws as well as those pesky reproducer diaphragm screws. I've relied on them more and more over the years-- As I get older, some of my fingers seem to be morphing into thumbs! :)
