I honestly couldn't resist
Fein 1940's power tapper and drill

Overkill for 10BA tapping, but handy.....

 

[Brad93]

Years ago I saw some fabricators using all manner or cutting discs & sized machined .
They all unplugged the power , put a thick glove on , popped the locking pin and used the gloved hand to unscrew the worn or damaged disc , I asked about the discs slipping as they used the reverse process to tighten them up . They said that they never loosened off if nipped up by a gloved hand hand pulling on the disc blade itself .
I've been doing the same for the last 12 years or more using around 50 slitting discs pa ........ till I got my Parkside plasma cutter .

Only time the spanner comes out is when the disc has disintegrated and locked itself on.

Overkill for 10BA tapping, but handy.....

Despite its tough construction it's only 400W .
I already have a "younger" still vintage, Fein asge 636 which I have already restored (and made a video on YouTube) which is not even the half of this one in dimensions.
But it's rated for M8 taps, but honestly is little bit too much .
I love hunting for vintage powertools they are built differently and it's interesting to see how they built them back in the time.
And off course it's original contents for my channel.
I believe in it but I understand those tools aren't known as a normal drill and it's hard to get views.
90% of people don't know Fein as a brand, and maybe only 1% know what a power tapper is .
Despite that my asge had great numbers considering how small my channel is.

Picked up a rather nice JayDee tapping gadget for £60.

If you haven't already look up the "where's the path" website.
I must admit I prefer a paper map to look for interesting routes / places local to where I am.

Thanks for the tip. I also prefer paper maps.

Just going back to grinder keys, mine now dewalt have a keyless ring on them so don't require a key.
The older ones I have that use them have the key cable tied to the mains lead, 1 so they don't get lost and 2 so you have to unplug it to change the disk!
