somewhat disappointed
Bought this to replace a Makita driver kit that worked well for many years. The quick release was not positive nor easy to secure. I expected more from DeWalt products. The drill bit came out several times during the first use and it is easy for the small hex screws to fall out and get lost. The Makita kit I used before had a hex wrench built in to the driver so you would have to worry about losing the provided wrench. This product works but I expected DeWalt products to be much better.

Predrilling is like flossing,but this tool makes it easy.
Vitals:
– easy to use (quick change)
– I’ve had mine for years with no problems
– it’s useful how it essentially functions as a bit extender as well
Pre-drilling your screw holes is one of those things that never seems worthwhile… until you’ve been at it for a few years, and ruined a few things, and you wish you could go back to your younger self and say “Self? You really should pre-drill… and save yourself some heartache. Also, don’t bother to see Hot Tub Time Machine… it’s terrible.”
Anyway… this tool makes pre-drilling so easy that you’ll quickly realize how wrong you were not to do it in the first place. I know, I know. It hurts inside just to think about it…. but the sooner you get this tool, the sooner the healing can begin.

Excellent product
This is my second purchase. I owned one for over five years until I dropped it and bent the shaft. I’ve always use it to predrill when driving screws. Works like a charm!
