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 ...

I've had one of these Craftsman "Speed-Lok" sets for years and it is
quite handy when I've got a bunch of wood screws to drill holes for and
then drive.

Just slip out the business part, flip it over and snap it back in to
change from a drill/countersink to a screwdriver bit.

A heck of a lot cheaper than that monstrosity of a drill/driver.
