Saw this thing advertised on (late night) TV yesterday.

It's a cordless drill with a 2-chuck turret on it. It _seems_ like a good
idea: drill bit in one chuck, driver bit in the other, for instance. Flip
from one to the other to install a bunch of woodscrews quickly, say.
I never saw such a thing before, and I wonder why they're advertising on TV
specifically. Is this a totally new thing, or just new to the home-owner
market?
Does anybody here own one? If so, is it _worth_ $140 or so? Is there an
industrial version? And who _is_ "Mansfield Power Tools"?
Like I say, it _seems_ like a good idea ...
-- TP
Mansfield Power Tools appears to be a Danish company.

I'm guessing here, but maybe the above abstract says something like
that it started as a school project by Mr. Steen Mandsfelt Eriksen in
'92 and now production is coming out of a factory in China.
Perhaps someone here reads Danish and can confirm or refute.
