KennyV, thanks for the compliments. I hope you enjoyed the videos. I am new to making them so I promise I will get better. 
I don't know if a powered screwdriver will have enough torque to tighten or loosen the drawbar, usually those power screwdrivers are in the 4-10 ft/lbs (30-120 in/lbs.) range so I would doubt it would be enough.
My power drawbar was on the "to do" list but down on it a bit. I re-prioritized my list the first week I had my mill and decided the power drawbar just went to the top of the list. Took me most of the first weekend to fabricate the first one. My second power drawbar took me about a week but a couple hours a night was all I had to spend on it.
Mike.
