Thread: Revolutionary Drill Driver

Just the advertising video puts me off, sounds like they'll offer bonus steak knives with the drill.

Good idea if the drill is reasonable quality.

Saw something similar on The Inventors (I think?) a few years back, 'cept it swapped itself at the flick of a button so 'twas a truly one-handed operation.

This seems to be a cheaper copy.

They were selling these at the Wood show last year, must be someone out there who bought one? they were also is Bunnings for a while about the same time. The idea of only needing one drill to do two steps is Ok but I suspect the quality is on the low side.

I checked one out at the last Adel WWWshow, very cheesey... the plastic handle actually was creaking when held with a firm grip!(was snake oil type seller)

Seems a bit overcooked for its advertised function. There are a few makers of quick-engaging hex shank tools that seem to work as well or better. Might be useful as a variable angle side drill, I suppose, but Harry's and durwood's remarks suggest caution.

I'm with Joe, quickchange hexshank is the way to go if you want quick adaptability. Besides, 2 chucks is never enough, I find I often need 4 - pilot, main drill, countersink and driver. 2 chucks has to be more weight and more to go wrong.
