Yarn and Power Tools

The other day I was wandering the aisles at Joanns and I noted that you can now buy an electric ball winder.  And it was stupid expensive! 
Then I remembered that Xiris made me an electric ball winder years ago!  Do you see it?  It's genius, really. 

Watch:

 My sweet husband saw that when I was winding lots and lots that my arms got tired, so he "adjusted" my winder to be automatic with the simple addition of a drywall screw.  He screwed it in just at the top of the handle.
 Attach a drill and go at it.  Just be sure that you don't drill faster than your swift can turn!

What do you think?  Will you be doing this to your ball winder?
