What is a good powered tool for cleaning neck/shoulder?

I still do it manually but use a non-slip glove with 0000 steel wool fitted into a socket. Real easy - just give it a few twists to remove the gross residue. Then I tumble with standard corn cob media - cases come out totally clean in the neck and shoulder area.
 
I just moisten some patches with solvent, and after I finish shooting I just wipe of the carbon. No tools need. I never let the carbon build up, there for it won't dirty the loading dies.

its just getting old using the steel wool to manually clean neck/shoulder of my brass everyday. Any powered tools that will do this job well @?? I do have battery drills and motors to power something if needed. Thanks

I use a Dewalt 8v gyroscopic screwdriver, Dewalt model# DCF682 Cordless screwdriver. I purchased it at Home Depot.

It works perfectly with my K&M turning gear. That it's 'gyroscopic' means that you need only a flick of the wrist to reverse the tool's rotation. It's neat!

With practice one could remove polished case from spud while spinning and insert new one onto spud while spinning without stopping drill. Smaller drill press works also. Could even polish primer pocket with practice and right shaping of steel wool.
