Outstanding performance
Rating: 5
Purchased several months ago, and finally need to use it. Did some serious work/use in a couple of days. Performance was outstanding.

Great product worth the money.
Rating: 5
I received this as a Father's Day gift and was extremely surprised by the torque this little impact driver carries. It broke loose my lawnmower blades with ease. The drill I used to install the water hoses brackets to the side of the house and the hammer drill went through the mortar joint with ease. (I had already purchased the Bosch concrete bits last year). I would say at this point I am sold on the Bosch Brand. Great products as well as very competitive pricing.

Great impactor and drill kit
Rating: 5
Brushless what else could you ask for idh182 is great impactor. You can drive in screws or use socket set. Has plenty power. Easy to handle. Hds183 is great drill. Well balance and it has slim design.

great tool - a must for mechanics
Rating: 5
I bought this set 2 years ago and used it almost every day .Never had a single problem . The batteies are still 100% after that time ,. Powerfull impact will loosen up even 1/2 inch bolts and nuts and is small enough to fit in tight spots . Would by set anytime again - more than happy with it.

The best impact driver I have ever used
Rating: 4
I am a commercial electrician and I bought this combo around 3 years ago. I will put this impact driver up against any other impact driver on the market, I have used other top$$ brands. This driver has taking lug nuts off of cars!! The drill on the other hand is not so impressive. The two problems I have with this drill is 1. The battery will lose connection quite frequently and you have to take the battery out blow on it and clean the terminals on the battery contacts of the drill. Very irratating!! 2. The chuck of this drill does not hold all that tight. I have lost my uni-bit down finished walls two times to many just because the chuck losens up when you start drilling. If not for those two things I would have rated 5.

The Search is Over!
Rating: 5
Over the years, it has been so frustrating to do home projects that require a pilot hole to be drilled prior to securing with a screw because changing the bits out of the drill each time is a big pain, especially when you lose or drop them each time. I used my SwitchDriver the other day to install shelving in the mud room which required a pilot hole followed by screwing in a 2" screw. The experience was so wonderful that I decided to put the same shelving up in the laundry room. The only way to really appreciate this great tool is if you've ever had a frustrating experience with changing the bits out each time. This will solve the problem and make projects like this so much more enjoyable. Lots of power and torque behind the 20V battery too! It charges quickly and there's really no hassle at all. This is my new favorite tool by WORX!!

The Perfect case for the Perfect Tool!
Rating: 5
As if the 20V Switchdriver itself wasn't fantastic enough, now WORX, (The DIY guy's best friend) offers a package that has this perfect tool and the perfect case and perfect set of 67 bits to boot so that you can perform some perfect "Do It Yourself Magic!" Hooray for WORX for putting this package together. I had the basic Switchdriver, but I bought another with the case and 67 piece set of bits! Amazing! I save so much time with this very efficient tool that I just go from project to project, getting better all the time. I wholeheartedly recommend this complete Switchdriver package! It's perfect! If anything, I would like to see the case with bits sold separately for those of us who already had a swirtchdriver, but I use this so much, it's great to have one for home and work! God bless the WORX company!

Great Tool!
Rating: 5
Have you ever been in a situation where you need to both drill a pilot hole and the drive a screw? I know I have more times than I can count. You had two choices - well - three actually. 1st, you could drill the pilot hole, change bits to drive the screw then repeat for as many times as necessary. 2nd choice - carry two drills, one to make the pilot hole and the second to drive in the screw. Better than choice one, but more expensive and if you are working outside or on a ladder ….well... This left choice 3. Do not drill the pilot hole and just drive in the screw. Works o.k. EXCEPT - more than once broke the screw head off: stripped the head or split the wood. Then along came this new switchdriver. Picking it up my first impression of it was how balanced it felt. With the battery in place it is very comfortable to handle. I was wondering what the guard in front of the trigger was for. As soon as I put the bits in I saw that it is there to protect your hand from the bit that is turned down. (See picture- WORX or mine). In using the Switchdriver I found when drilling in wood it is much better to drill in high speed. In metal, of course, you want to drill at a lower speed to prevent burning the bit. I note that WORX recommends NOT drilling in the lower gear for long periods of time as this may cause overheating. I did some expermenting with what the driver could do. So, with an old tough piece of 2X4 I drilled pilot holes and then put in some 2” screws. Not even an effort. I then tried putting in the screws WITHOUT drilling the pilot holes. Again, did it with no problem but I know this had to pull on the battery. Then, I switched over to trying this out with 4” #12 hex head screws. Again, with the pilot holes drilled they zipped in. Driving the screws without the pilot hole in high gear, I was able to drive them in 3 inches when the driver stopped. Keep in mind, I am still using the same battery, so the power is down a little. I then put the drill into low gear and easily drove the screws all the way in. The tool certainly has plenty of torque for everything I threw at it. I find that using the Switchdriver takes a little getting used to. I am so accustomed to changing out bits that I keep forgetting I only need to rotate the chuck, but I am catching on. I am enclosing a couple of pictures that show how I have addressed a couple of issues relating to the 1/4" bits. The Switchdriver is designed for quick changing bits which are readily available. Many of us, however, still have some of the older 1/4" and round bits. You just CANNOT use the short bits without the use of a magnetic holder. The round ones will only work if you have a chuck of the type that I show. I do not how long you can expect the battery to last on one charge, but there are two batteries so between them you should be able to go a fairly long time - plus - if you happen to have other WORX 20 volt products you can just keep going. Overall, I find this tool to be a great addition to my collection. I think you will like it as much as I do. I recommend this product.

Cool Toolkit

I purchased this 67 pc. Kit to repair things at home. I used this kit for repairing broken drying machines, disassembling and assembling furniture, mounting a flat screen t.v on a wall and I will use this for many more projects for years to come. I recommend this product to everyone who needs an affordable cordless drill. This is an investment I am glad I made.

Switch driver is awesome.

I bought the switch driver recently and I am taking advantage of it's light weight and easy changing of applications. I am a 64 year old woman who was having to use my husbands heavy and complicated drill. Now my life is so much easier with the new edition to my Worx tools collection. A woman's best friend.

Awesome Drill
Rating: 5
This drill is so convenient and has good power. I've had it for a few years and still love it. The only complaint I have is that for the first few times I used it I kept reaching for another bit (drill or screwdriver) before I realized that I just had to do the old switcher-oo..haha

Thought it was a great idea when I first saw it. I had a 19.2V cordless (another brand) that the battery was starting to fail. It died one day after receiving this unit, and I was in the middle of a project!

Nice little drill, but buy your bits elsewhere.
Rating: 4
I have used this little jewel a few times and have enjoyed it quite a lot. It's lighter than my other cordless drills and plenty powerful. The batteries last a good, long time, too. The dual chucks are a great idea and make drilling pilot holes a breeze. The only problem I've had so far (and what cost this product its 5th star) is that I paid extra for bits and drivers to fit the chucks and the first bit that I used (8mm) broke off in the second hole that I drilled. I was drilling pilot holes in a pine 2x4 and the bit broke off in the second hole! Since standard bits don't fit these chucks I was back to using my old drill along with this one for the rest of the day. I love all of my Worx tools (I have four now), but I will be buying my accessories somewhere else from now on.
