They had a preview over at Toolguyd a little while back of the Worx driver.

That video is pretty unique.

Looks like a total gimmick.

IMO I would nail AND screw her though...

I have a few of the worx items so far they do the job seem to be well made and have held up I am a little ruff on tools. I am sure that everyone has there gimmick tools as this might be also just going by past expierence I will give it a try.

There should be a special label on tools made to sell to wives and children as 'clever and thoughtful' Father's Day gifts -- that will sit forever in a drawer.

Come on Jack I would agree but that leaf blower and leaf mulcher has been a great one. With 9 Maple trees in the back yard it got its workout just gonna give there screwdriver a chance if its no good shame on me.

We're not saying it will be a bad quality tool. We're just saying that a self loading screwdriver serves really no purpose for most real projects, and is more of a gimmick to get people to buy it as a gift than an a real tool.

I played with the Kobalt version, I couldn't see any use for it. It takes less time than to swap out a hex bit on my 12v tools, they are far more versatile/powerful/quicker, and that $40 would buy me a lifetime supply of replacement bits :)
