	If you use a drill as much for driving as you do for drilling, that usually makes for a several-step operation. See a complete video of this tip.
You start by loading the drill bit into the chuck and tightening it...
	Next, drill a hole...
Remove the drill bit and put in a driver bit...
	...then drive in the screw. That's not so bad if you've only got to put in a couple of screws, but if you've got to drive a lot of them, well, it can be a real time waster.
This new tool, called the Twist-Lok Drill and Driver System, can save a lot of time on this otherwise dual operation.
	With the Twist-Lok system, insert a bit holder and drill bit into the chuck, then drill the pilot hole.
Now, instead of removing the drill bit, simply slip a driver bit holder over it.
	Place a screw on the magnetized tip, and drive it in.
Another version of this system accepts any standard round shaft drill for drilling a pilot or clearance hole.
	This special chuck can accomodate the Twist-Lok slip-on bit holder, which goes on right over your own drill bit.
That's it: from drilling to driving, with just a twist.
