Ok, here’s the drill. It’s called a Pistol Grip Tool, or PGT, and it’s designed for the extreme environment of space. It works with bulky, pressurized spacesuit gloves like the ones @Astro_Wakata is wearing on the spacewalk happening now. https://t.co/cljvSsWNSN — PolitiTweet.org

@JohnTerhorstPhD A few prototype tools were developed then, but not this one. The PGT was invented by former astronaut Paul Richards for Hubble servicing missions. It's programmable so astronauts can preset rotations, speed, direction, and other features. — PolitiTweet.org
