    Much to love here, but I’m not liking the digital power setting. One more thing to break. Also, have a notched spring clip on the top or sides is WAY better than a magnet.

    If you are swapping between a drill and a driver this often, you should buy an impact driver. It’s the best tool I never knew I needed.

      Impact drivers are so awesome. I’ve been building a lot of stuff in my yard over the past couple years, and it’s impact driver + torx screws/bits or nothing.

        Depends, but I certainly do a lot more now that I have a separate power tool for drilling and driving. :)

        Edit: Wood splitting from time to time was also a good motivator!

    That magnet isnt gonna hold those bits in use. This is just a gimmick, its not gonna hold up to any real world usage.

      It would be more useful for temporarily holding screws as you put them in. I could see that working.
