Worx Nitro 20V Switchdriver 2.0 Brushless 2-in-1 Drill/Driver (WX177L) review

The Worx WX177L solves a specific problem: switching between a drill bit and a screwdriver bit over and over. It has two 1/4 in hex chucks on a rotating head, so you drill a pilot hole, rotate, and drive the screw without changing bits. A digital display switches between drilling and driving modes and sets one of 9 torque levels, and torque memory keeps the driver setting when you flip to drilling. Worx rates it at 445 in-lb of torque in its headline (443 in-lbs in the spec table) and 0 to 450 and 0 to 1,700 RPM. It weighs 2.71 lbs, and the kit includes a 2.0Ah battery, a quick charger, a screwdriver bit, hex-shank drill bits, a belt hook and a carry bag. Worx's US store lists it at $109.99, marked down from $139.99. The limits come from the chuck: it takes hex-shank bits only, and Worx lists 1/2 in drilling capacity in steel, so it is a driving tool first rather than a hole-boring drill.
