When I first got my hands on the Worx Switchdriver I was immediately impressed with the comfort as I held it, and the durability with which it looked. I instantly started examining the Switchdriver and was impressed by how it felt in my hand. As I pulled the trigger it was smooth and comfortable. There was an easy to read and operate switch to control the torque with which you wanted the driver to operate. The speed selection switch was right on top for easy changing. But the most impressive thing was that you could put a drill bit in one side and a driver on the other side and easily, seamlessly, smoothly, switch back-and-forth with the pull of a button. The first task I set out to do was to hang some cabinets. Any professional knows you need two set ups to do this. A drill with a drill bit and a driver with a Phillips. The Worx Switchdriver had both. I was quickly hanging cabinets, faster than I ever had, first drilling then driving all with the same tool in my hand. This is a complete game changer and with a 20 V battery the power was more than I needed. What a great tool and great invention. Two thumbs up from this professional contractor!

Breaking News for All Homeowners***You NEED This!***

We're sharing with you a really really cool tool!!  The great folks at WORX.com sent us this information and it's too good to keep to ourselves.  

The new WORX® Nitro Brushless Switchdriver™ 2.0 builds upon the original WORX 20V Switchdriver introduced in 2015 to make it the go-to tool when drilling holes and driving screws. The Nitro Switchdriver incorporates a digital interface, greater torque and a high-efficiency brushless motor.

Arguably, a cordless drill is the first power tool homeowners add to their toolbox. A drill is indispensable in any number of assembly projects around the house. Most drill manufacturers offer accessories to swap out bits, but WORX took it a step further by manufacturing a drill with two revolving ¼ in. chucks. Drill a pilot hole, press a button and rotate to the other chuck to drive a screw. Switchdriver 2.0 speeds the process by eliminating add-on accessories and downtime. Handy for homeowners, Switchdriver 2.0 also is a time-saving tool for the trades, especially electricians.

“We applied the latest technology to the new Nitro Switchdriver 2.0,” said Angel Rebollar, WORX Associate Product Manager.WX177L_SWITCHDRIVER2.0_2927-2-2000x2000px-RGB-300dpi.jpg “We upgraded a time-saving power tool and made it more efficient with a user-friendly digital interface, greater power, and a high-efficiency brushless motor.”

There’s no clutch ring on the WORX Nitro 20V Brushless Switchdriver 2.0. It has a variable-speed 2-speed Lo/Hi switch and provides no-load speeds of 0-450 and 0-1700 rpm. The versatile drill’s maximum torque is 443 in.-lbs.

The new generation Switchdriver now features two digital keypads, located on the top of the drill. The driver keypad (screw icon) electronically changes clutch settings from 1-9. Nine is the highest torque setting for driving longer, stubborn fasteners into hardwoods and number one is for driving smaller screws into softer materials.

The new Switchdriver features an impulse function under driver mode. The drill electronically slows its speed and pulses, based on the material’s resistance, until the screw is flush to the surface. This feature provides professional results and helps eliminate "skating" or "runout" from the head of the fastener.

The other digital keypad is identified with a drill icon for drilling. The user adjusts speed, depending on the material. High speed is for drilling into wood and low speed is for drilling into metal. WORX did not stop there: The patented dual rotating chuck is synchronized with the digital interface to allow the working mode to automatically switch as the user rotates the chuck. This minimizes downtime from having to readjust torque/drilling modes as you would with a torque ring fused on standard drill/drivers.

Switchdriver’s new Nitro, high-efficiency, brushless motor runs 50 percent longer, provides 25 percent more power and is maintenance-free, compared to traditional brushed motors. This digitally controlled, brushless motor runs cooler with less friction and heat buildup than conventional motors with brushes, resulting in smooth, reliable operation and extended tool life.

The WORX 20V 2.0Ah Power Share MAX lithium battery powers the drill. The battery’s charge level can be checked by pressing the battery’s keypad.  The 20V battery is compatible with more than 75 other WORX 20 and 40V lawn and garden, DIY and lifestyle products for cost savings and convenience.

Constructed of high-impact resin, Switchdriver’s handle has a textured overmold grip for comfort and control. When compared to the original Switchdriver, the Nitro Brushless Switchdriver 2.0 is 5.9 percent shorter in length at 7.76 in. and 8.4 percent lighter at 2.76 lbs. with battery.

Wth assembly work, the innovative Switchdriver 2.0 is tough to beat. This driver has a rotating head equipped with two ¼-inch chucks that can be loaded with different combinations of drill or driver bits.  Drill a pilot hole and then quickly switch chucks to the driver bit to sink the screw.    

Switchdriver’s two ¼- in. chucks rotate 360º clockwise or counterclockwise with the push of a button above the trigger. BothNitro 20V Brushless Switchdriver 2.0.png quick-release chucks are easy to load and accept standard hex-shaped, six sided ¼ in. bits, which are widely available at hardware stores and home centers.    

Switchdriver drills pilot holes and drives screws in half the time as a standard drill/driver.  Drilling pilot holes makes screws go in easier and straighter. It also helps prevent work pieces from splitting or cracking. 

Switchdriver is ideal for installing shelves, curtain rods or blinds with drywall anchors.  Other typical applications include installation of kitchen or bathroom hardware, hinges and door sets, as well as assembly projects requiring different bits, including Phillips, slotted, square recess, Torx and nut drivers.  The innovative Switchdriver 2.0 also handles large scale indoor/outdoor remodeling projects, such as kitchen and bathroom makeovers deck building and assembly of fences and kid’s playsets.

The new Nitro Brushless Switchdriver 2.0 includes a 20V 2.0Ah MAX Lithium battery with a 1-hour, 2-amp charger. Also, included are 6 bits; 2 in. PH2 screwdriver bit, 3PC 1/8 in. hex-shank HSS drill bit, and 2PC 3/32 in. hex-shank HSS drill bit belt clip and carrying bag. The tool is covered by the WORX three-year limited warranty.

  

The WORX Nitro Brushless Switchdriver 2.0 (WX177L, $129.99) is available at www.worx.com and Amazon. A bare tool version WX177L.9, $89.99) also is available.
