DEWALT DW2700 Drill Flip Drive Complete Unit

If you build a lot of stuff, you really want one of these. It allows you to pre-drill and countersink screw holes without having to fuss with bits, which always seem to get misplaced even when you think you noted just where you put them. You just use the drill side of the flip driver, then flip the bit around and drive the screw. Sounds like not much difference compared with just switching back and forth between separate drill and driver bits , but if you’ve got a couple dozen screws to drive it makes a big difference.The reason for the title is that you need to use an Allen wrench to change screw driver bits (if, for example, you want to drive a Phillips head this time and the last time you used it you were using star-drive screws). I actually bought three of these and keep one with a T-25 driver, one with a Phillips head driver, and one with a square driver for ease of use on the jobsite.There’s just one improvement I’d like to see in the design of thes bits: the shank on the bit is larger than a standard hex-base bit, and so you can’t chuck it into an impact driver, you have to use a drill with a standard chuck. I suspect the lawyers made them do this so you don’t try to drill with an impact driver, but people do it anyway and generally have no problems.

The media could not be loaded. I use this pretty much any time I'm driving screws on the outer surface of something, it pretty much makes it inconvenient for me NOT to drill a pilot hole AND counter sink before I sink a screw so that's a win from any angle you look at it. And it's designed with ease of use with one hand in mind. The only issue I have with it so far is it is pretty large and clunky so I don't look as cool holding a drill with it attached but that hasn't stopped me from using it

I almost always turn to my quick change drill bit/drivers that can be used with my snap-in driver chucks. If DeWalt would offer a snap-in chuck model I would by them without hesitation.

I bought this after my last Ryobi flip bit and drive tool broke off its stem. Ryobi has a new version of it but it is very underwhelming in comparison to the previous version. So I took a gamble and tried the DeWalt flip bit driver, and scored big time . It works great, has a much thicker stem than Ryobi's version, and is a welcome addition to my chest of tools. I do plan to buy more as things like these as it seems these days that things that work great disappear quickly for some reason. As it stands right now, I highly recommend these if you do a lot of drill-n-drive work. Once you get the hang of how to flip the center chuck, you will appreciate the engineering and how quick you get after awhile flipping back and forth. Cheers!!!

I love this tool. I have had many. The biggest problem I have encountered with this too is the hex nuts give up after many years of use and then the drill bits fall out or the bit falls out.

I have used items similar to this and like those better. My biggest complaint is that I cant get this to sink into pine deep enough where I can add a plug. It does ok in getting the head flush but that was about it. I wont buy it again

I use this item constantly, very handy to have when building cabinets and such..

Same problems as all the other similar designs. Eventually the bit will get stuck and you have to fight to flip it. Seems to be a common issue with these types of flip bits. Very annoying when this happens up on a ladder or roof. Easier to just use separate bits or drills. Wish someone would make a better design.
