It’s great when common and accepted devices undergo radical changes. The T-handle handheld screwdrivers were like that when we first got them. The Skil 360 Quick Select has some of the most subtle, yet radical changes to a power screw driver that you’ll ever see. The 12 bits are inside a revolving chamber, the device can be charged via a USB port and it has a light to guide you as you’re screwing something in or out. Literally all you need is Twiki from Buck Rogers to come out and start doing your work for you, but then you’d get all distracted by Erin Gray and you’ve got work to do, so hop to it.
