Sandy,

I'm sorry on this machine I can't cut and paste.

To see pictures, google:  3/8" impact butterfly, and you will get pictures 
and prices.  The one I loaned and use daily is a Ludel I bought from Two Guys 
for 17.99 in 1977. 

The nice one I bought but sits in the basement for the day the Ludel breaks
is a Campbell-Hausfield I bought at Walmart two years ago for $22 discounted 
as there was a model change or something.

For brake bleeders, set the air flow down low, put a deep socket and adapter
on the tool, and let it softly pound on the bleeder.  You can use some 
PB Blaster or what have you, which might speed up the process, but for 
average stuck bleeders just dry will work.  For the really bad ones, I 
soak them up for a couple of days first.

Where can I see a pic of this "mouse"?

I have to get one (esp. for bleeders!)
