I used a Porter Cable 1/2" drill with a 18v Li-ion battery. You need a good bit of torque and those little screwdriver handles are good for only about 25 cases before you drain the battery.

Which ever one you choose, go on a slow speed so as to not build up heat.

Tripwire I think you forgot a zero, ten thousands is more like it. Heat is the enemy when neck turning, 180-200 rpm is about the fastest I would recommend, if the turning mandrel gets hot the cuts will not be uniform and your wasting your time.
