We have a job to do a lot of tapping, my maintenance guy brought this in and though we could use it. For our M4 taps on the job this would be overkill. But it is a totally sweet tool!
I have never seen anything like it. You just keep your finger on the trigger and once you are done tapping you pull back and it automatically reverses. I had a 1/2-13 tap in it and this was a bit too much for the clutch, we originally drilled .421" holes. I just opened the holes up for demo purpose. If you were running 1/4" or 3/8" taps it would probably be fine.
I did a bit of searching and found nothing on this exact tool. It appears Lesto is/was a mfg in Switzerland for drills and hand tools.
