    Use a battery drill with adjustable torque settings. Very cheap and very common. Get two...

    Wouldn't recommend anything from Harbor Freight! Cheap price Cheap product!!
    We use Milwakee. Try pawn shops for a good price. Alwo use brand sold by Napa. Have had really good luck with them. If money is no object go with Mikita or Milwakee.

    Sean, remember when sharpen your tungsten use that belt sander just for that, and the reason for this is it will contamanate your tungsten if you use it for other thingsand don't sharpen it off the side always straight on as the belt comes down..Dave
