A Faster Way to Drill Holes and Drive Screws
A power drill/driver gets its name from its dual purposes. Sometimes, you use the tool as much for driving as for drilling, particularly when pre-drilling pilot holes on hard materials or using a countersunk bit to recess the screw heads. How much time is wasted as you load the drill bit into the chuck, drill a hole, remove the drill bit, load a driver bit, drive in the screw, reverse and then do it all over again?
Maybe the process is not too bad if you only have a few screws to drive or your project lets you work on an assembly line to do all the drilling, change bits, and then do all the driving. Maybe you have two drills and dedicate one for drilling and one for driving...or maybe you should investigate the Twist-Lok Drill and Drive System to learn how easily you can lessen the nuisance factor of repeatedly changing bits.
This system eliminates the need to remove the drill bit and instead allows a bit driver to be slipped directly over it. The video demonstrates this very clearly.

Has anyone found a phillips bit that is thin enough to drive in door knob screws and not hit the side of the knob?
Is there such a product that will seal a cracked copper/ brass pipe/valve that is leaking from a tank with no pressure. We just tried JB Weld’s new water weld putty but it didn’t work and Yes we did follow All the instructions.
Thanks for the help.

This is a great tool. Over 5 years its saved me tons of hours. It’s on my top 10 list of must have items.

Ron, when giving such a demonstration it would be best to give product information, ie: Mfr and part number.

The Amazon ad says the bits come with it but the countersink drills aren’t mentioned.

Those tools sound great but do you have to buy both pieces seperately o9r do they come together. I am meening will you get the countersink bit as well as the driver bit together.?

For years I’ve used one similar to this http://goo.gl/Izszm that seems simpler and cheaper. Though even with this quick change method I did use a cheap drill to do the pilot holes and my drill-driver to run the screws when I had to drive about 500 screws in a deck cover.

I received this drill and drive system about two years ago as a gift. What a great system! It saves so much time unlike switching from a drill bit to a driver. I would recommend this system to anyone who drills alot of pilot holes before driving in a screw!

Sears has a great 100 piece driver kit. If you need only one like shown go to: http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00964332000P?prdNo=24&blockNo=24&blockType=G24

Very cool system. Black and Decker has had a similar system on their 18volt cordless drills for years. The chuck pops on and off and with a hex socket for the driver underneath. This is nice though given that it works with any drill.

or, you could just use two drills
