Tools for building SIBs. Looked for definition of SIB- I could not find one that fits the tool. But since I have no idea what you intended by SIB's I cannot rule it out with absolute certainty.

I don't know if this has been used before, if so I have another ready. They are very specific to one job, one time only. That job must be in the answer.

Photos: 1. (left) The EVA pistol grip tool is a high-torque, low-speed, microprocessor-controlled power tool used by spacewalking astronauts. It greatly reduces hand fatigue while astronauts work in pressurized spacesuits and helps reduce the amount of time it takes to loosen and tighten fasteners. (right) The washer extraction tool is used by spacewalking astronauts to secure washers that would otherwise float away in space. ID: 1800861 ·

I actually had the opportunity to handle the washer extraction tool at a meet and greet with Matt Mountain, Director of the Space Telescope program at that time(2010)on the occasion of the Member's premier of the IMAX Hubble movie here at the Museum of Nature and Science. The faucet like handle on the washer tool is for ease of use when wearing those thick EVA suit gloves. [EDIT] PM sent. "Sour Grapes make a bitter Whine." <(0)> ID: 1800889 ·
