 Excellent tool! November 3, 2005

This tool is invaluable when used for setting hinges! Hold the hinge in place, push the drill against it and know that it's centered in the hole. Works just like a Vix bit only you can pop it out the holder, flip it, put it back in the holder and voila', now you've got a driver to power in the screw. I've gone through three sets as they tend to grow feet and walk away. :(
December 16th 2009 EDIT:
My latest one has lasted three years. The housing eventually cracks at the corners where the bit slides through. I ended up just buying single piece set to replace the holder. The springs on the vix part (that push against the retactable head) have held up and have not failed. I have replaced all of the drill bits and screw tips countless times. I have not yet seen a better setup than this.

This tool is very versitable and convienent. It is a must for jobs requiring predrill(not countersink). The 4 piece set will do most jobs. The only concern I have with this product is the availability of it. I waited 4+ weeks for it to arrive. Also I have not been able to locate any replacement parts in any of my local stores. This tool is made very well and seems to be able to stand daily use in the construction field.
replacement drill bits June 23, 2010

I have owned this product for many years and find it the most valuable tool in my toolbox. However it is impossible
to find replacement drill bits. This is very frustrating. I have ordered them many times, but they have all been for
the quad driver countersink kit. The flat side on the bit does not extend all the way to the end of the shank. If anyone
knows of a source for these bits. I'd really like to know.
Should be standard equipment with every power drill June 13, 2010

This tool is such a slick innovation that it really should be standard equipment on power driver/drills. You just flip the tip to drill or drive. The auto-centering feature on hinge holes is brilliant, plus the spring loaded sheath works to keep your drill bit in place in soft wood with raised grain. The sheath tip bites the wood a little and keeps the bit from dancing away into the softer troughs or the wood.
The only complaint I have is that the shaft that holds the bit/driver and sheath has an ever-so-slight wobble to it when spinning freely in the air. Oddly enough, it seems to function perfectly regardless of the wobble. It would appear that the wobble is nullified once pressure is applied when drilling/driving. It may simply be gravity pulling at the apparatus when it isn't loaded with the pressure of the task.

This set takes care of all my precision drilling and driving needs - great when doing locksets and hinges - makes for a super quick swap from drill to driver without looking for tools...
