I've not seen these before, but my daughter just called me to watch a
wonderful (yeah right) presentation on one of the shopping channels. It
was an 18v cordless drill, but it had two chucks and you could swivel the head
to select which chuck you wanted. One of the ideas being that you had one
chuck loaded with a drill, and the other a screwdriver bit. Thought it
sounded quite a reasonable idea. £79.
I'm not thinking of getting one, but just wondered what you lot thought.

£40 will get you a decent drill. May as a well get two £40 drills with two
chargers and batteries. Pick one up when you want it. No contest, two it
is.

Hard though it is to say this... I think I agree with IMM here.

The 80 quid is buying you one motor, one charger, whatever nr of
batteries, and an extra bit of gears, swivels, and general cruft to go
wrong. You're well better off with two simpler tools. For that budget,
I'd spend 25 on tne little Bosch electrickle screwdriver - the Ixo, I
think they call it - and the balance of 50-60 notes on a midrange
cordless drill. Keep screwdriving bits in the screwdriver, use the drill
for drilling and driving bigger screws; less fagging about changing bits
this way.
