What is the name of the "electric pick"

Quick one guys,

You know that handheld device that you hold over your strings to give you a constant vibration? What do you call it?

I want to get me one and I can't search for something I don't know the name of...

Or maybe the old "Gizmotron" by Mu-Tronics?

Ahhhh, bingo. Thats the thing. Much thanks.

...expensive little sucker, eh?

Maybe I just turn my amp up so it's on the virge of feedback and do it that way - a lot noisier for the neighbors mind you!

ahhh the drill.... I saw PG in a clinic last year, while I wasn't expecting to see him use that particular tool it was in the discussion quite a bit.

Ed totally stole the idea from Paul. Poundcake pffft.

[The Euphor]

Two totally different ways to use a drill. Gilbert used it in a girly way, Van Halen in a manly way.
