Worx 20V Switchdriver WX176L Review

[@suivzmoi]

this is a great idea for when you need to drill and drive without having to change out bits so the lack of a belt clip is just mindboggling

[@bigbearomaha]

I realize this is an older video and I already own this drill. I was looking for reviews on other Worx tools and this popped up. I do a lot of work out in the field (literally, in fields) as a professional Apiarist (beekeeper) and I have to frequently repair or build equipment like hives, stands, fences, etc... on the spot. In this situation, this drill has been immensely useful and I also wish it had a belt clip.

[@ToolCraze]

And a little bit better performance

[@bigbearomaha]

I guess it's a use case thing. I haven't in my work in beekeeping equipment and basic handyman service found it to be unable to perform to what I require.

[@WorxUS]

@Tool Craze. Thank you for this great review. We do appreciate it.

[@ToolCraze]

+WORXTools thanks guys!

[@luvmyhrse]

at first I thought, what a waste of money but gosh, 120$ with two batteries. I can designate this for just my kreg jig station. Great review like always sir

[@rockwelltools]

+James Johnson Definitely worth the price!

[@hectordelcastillochavez4503]

I have the Axis saw, that bends 90 degrees, it's a great tool. The only problem is that it has only one battery and a slow charger. So, i bought the switch srew driver and by the price of ONE battery and half i've got now 2 batteries and a second charger, plus the swrewdriver.... Now i have 3 batteries, 2 chargers and 2 great power tools.... It couldn't be better!!!

[@lenarich3403]

Hey Javier, I previously checked out some of your reviews here and there regarding the miter saws, band saws and brad nailers and I gotta say that you can execute some pretty thorough reviews!! This was an item on my wish list so my husband picked one up for me last week and it's going to be a companion side kick to my Kreg pocket hole jig. BTW, another great review -- thanks! New subscriber :)

[@ToolCraze]

awesome thanks!

[@pandarama67]

Its a great idea I don't know why they didn't take it a step further and make several angled places for bits so that you could put multiple bits in. The you could have the option of having many bits ready to switch or not having any.

[@rockwelltools]

Thanks again for another great review! Looks Great! Glad you enjoyed it! Great use of our Jawhorse as well!

[@ToolCraze]

+Rockwell Tools thanks guys glad you enjoyed it, keep up these slick new ideas

[@TheBearuk1]

great video Javier, seems like a good tool, I like the positive "click" when you spun the bit changer so you feel like its definitely engaged, theres some good design features on this drill and Ive always been a fan of Worx ever since I purchased one of their semi automatic drivers as a gift for my father-in-law and then I went and bough one for myself just to throw in the kitchen drawer...my only gripe would be the slow charger but for the price its a good tool, definitely useful for repetitive drilling and fastening, cheers bro!

[@ToolCraze]

+TheBearuk1 thanks bro. Looks like they put a lot of thought into this little gadget. The slow charger is to be expected for the price point considering it comes with 2 batteries. I didn't make a fuss over the charger because for it's intended audience (homeowner) it should be fine since it has 2 batteries.

[@xro5841]

Hex Shank Key-less Drill Chuck Quick Change Adapter. I Love this Drill

[@StandingUpForBetter]

Great review! Thanks! I just picked one of these guys up. I was worried the drill bit assembly would easily move out of place when force is applied but it looks like they have a good locking mechanism. I also love how the battery can be easily used with other Worx tools.

[@ThisTall]

Seems like the perfect cabinet install drill, I have to drag 2, 12V Milwaukee drills around to every cabinet so being a weak 20 V is actually good for me, but only has a 5hr charger? That seems unreasonable !! If this thing even just lasted a year at a time it would be worth it

[@Billy-rr7re]

Keyless chuck converter so that you can use round shank drill bit. you can also use this converter with your impact driver and use any shank type with it. Neiko 20753A Keyless Chuck Conversion Tool | 1/4-Inch Shank

[@nerfnut9653]

Nice video bro. Really enjoy your style and point of view. I'd love to see you review the ryobi one+ angle grinder as there are no good video reviews out there that i could find! Keep up the good work!

[@ToolCraze]

+Nerfnut96 thanks bro , I'll see what I can do

[@KingParisBuckingham]

Great but do they have them corded cause i hate battery going weak??

[@kymrot121]

I just got one from ebay ...it's amazing thank u

[@OldDunollieman]

$79 at Menards in Ottumwa Iowa right now. Good review.

[@razzik777]

The only problem i found with this is that it's not an impact driver. Its limited 265 in-lb will halt you when trying to insert or remove med- to hard jobs. I really wish it was an impact - and a drill driver.

[@rickspohn6879]

I have the same drill but mine all of a sudden won't come up to speed. Any suggestions? Thanks.

[@robertvela2211]

Javier .. Thank you for awesome reviews .. Just purchased a new home and doing work around the house .. So I need to know what to buy .. Just wanted to ask if you can do a review on the Worx oscillating multi tool WX682L .. Please and thanks

[@wildgoose6596]

Works is missing the boat for tool enthusiasts. They are offering one cheap tool to replace two. Tool guys won't buy this as it (at least in theory) eliminates the need to buy more tools which is what it's all about. Great job on the video, especially the fall off the ladder, but now I know I don't have to pick up a works tool to have a look the next time I see one.

[@harleyrider025]

not to change the subject, but Worx makes a very cool wheel barrow/hand truck....very very nice

[@ToolCraze]

+Jody Reed nice- those can come in handy

[@rockwelltools]

+Jody Reed Yes sir! Our Aerocart is one of a kind!

[@harleyrider025]

my 84 year old neighbor asked me to move about 25 bricks for her...i put them in there and said to her..."try moving it"...she said no way...then she tried it and did it no problem....she was amazed

[@aitscomputerdude]

Look dude! This is one of the best reviews I have ever watched. I really agree. Awesome tool. however, I currently use Dewalt drills which has the battery level meter. And the belt clip. I do use the Craig Tool a lot. I am not sure if the Craig tool drill bit to long. I will soon fine out though. lol Thanks for your awesome review.

[@Lanninglongarmmowing]

Not bad on the price. Really neat concept. I would like to see one be an impact driver and the other be a regular drill with a chuck so all bits can be used. Great video!!!

[@ToolCraze]

+Love2boat92 thanks bro, that would be neat

[@brianmi40]

+Love2boat92 - try: www.zoro.com/dewalt-drill-chuck-kit-keyless-38-in-14-hex-dw0521/i/G2176474/?gdffi=047ada998cf641fa93e55ae8579df863&gdfms=475AFA53E9674EA98232F5708206C421&gclid=CjwKEAjwlfO3BRDR4Pj_u-iO2U0SJAD88y1SMWmppKWAkifdaGMdzu7OPh70cI7Ve2DrzwINKQvj8hoCUJ7w_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

[@Lanninglongarmmowing]

B Miller I never knew there was such a thing. That's really cool.

[@brianmi40]

Love2boat92 - Yeah, but look for cheaper than that one! Checked E bay and they had them really cheap, so ordered one that's on the way...

[@Lanninglongarmmowing]

B Miller Hopefully the quality wasn't sacrificed. Good luck.

[@TheJimmyjames007]

Hi , I have just ordered the switchdriver but i could only get it from the USA as i live in England i have had to pay 170 dollars i may also have a problem with the charger as we are 240 volts over her will have to wait and see James

[@ToolCraze]

+james hudson if you bought from the usa it will come with usa 120v charger

[@ToolCraze]

+Daniel M yes and phillips are still very common here :(

[@whiskeycreek4038]

Hey J-dog, I see you are getting some good use out of my jacket. Good review. Let us know about the longevity of this work drill.

[@ToolCraze]

+Brien lol thanks bro. Will do

[@jimquantic]

What do the clutch setting mean? X number of pounds at the various settings?

[@mikel.1395]

Great in-depth review.

[@ToolCraze]

+Mike L. thanks Mike

[@mikesrandomchannel]

*Great* review, thanks for this.

[@JamesAnderson-gz6kp]

Hey Javier, could you use the battery's from your other two drill drivers in the video or are they different batteries? Many thanks

[@ToolCraze]

Hey James, I can use any battery I have

[@JamesAnderson-gz6kp]

@@ToolCraze so just for the record the green battery's you have in the drill at the start of your video fit in your switch driver? Thanks

[@ToolCraze]

Well that's a completely different question. If you want to know if I can use any battery I have, then yes. I can. If you wan't to know if different manufacturers batteries are compatible with other brands, then the answer is always no. 😎

[@JamesAnderson-gz6kp]

@@ToolCraze Javier I apologise i assumed all 3 were Worx (as the first two look identical to the worx ones I own) my apologies I now see after watching the vid back in full hd and on a bigger screen that they are Rockwell. Many thanks

[@caterpillar5574]

I would still go with the drill and the impact driver they have more power and plus u have the Chuck is 1/4 and u can't use normal drill bits and they have less power.

[@brianmi40]

+CATERPILLAR - tho you can use: www.zoro.com/dewalt-drill-chuck-kit-keyless-38-in-14-hex-dw0521/i/G2176474/?gdffi=047ada998cf641fa93e55ae8579df863&gdfms=475AFA53E9674EA98232F5708206C421&gclid=CjwKEAjwlfO3BRDR4Pj_u-iO2U0SJAD88y1SMWmppKWAkifdaGMdzu7OPh70cI7Ve2DrzwINKQvj8hoCUJ7w_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

[@Guardducks]

You can use your round drill bits with this tool. You will need to purchase an additional chuck with a 1/4" hex shank with a keyed chuck but, you would still be possibly limited in diameter bit you can use.

[@thebabbler8867]

But then you won't be able to do the switch action.

[@downhilltwofour0082]

That is one cool tool!

[@nazarioarroyo2934]

good review... what is the point to have this tool if u can't put regular drill bits? just use the impact... lol

[@ToolCraze]

+Nazario Arroyo thanks Nazario, the fact that this doesn't use round shank bits, isn't necessarily a negative as there is a huge selection of drilling bits with hex shanks. It's a negative if you already have a huge collection of round shank bits and have to switch them all over to the hex shanks

[@crand20033]

All my bits rare hex. Never had another type of drill.

[@senarenthlei0776]

How to we buy this item?

[@ajrobinson2297]

Can you do a review on chigo electric 12 v drill and impact driver

[@acrocha1222]

My batteries last me up to 6 months with weekend use.

[@MrMMsTube]

If you buy WX176.9, you can use same batteries as Rockwell has

[@kevincriswell7533]

No need to buy a new set of drillbits. I bought a Makita Chuck at Home Depot that converts your hex driver to a standard Chuck, so you can utilize both hex bits and standard straight shank.

[@ToolCraze]

Hex Chuck's are faster

[@kevinfernandes2052]

Did you fall off a ladder around the 1 minute mark to show how difficult it is to swap bits?

[@ToolCraze]

+ok ok greatly exaggerated - think infomercial moment but looking at the thumbs down I see people can't handle my sense of humor

Es una herramienta genial con un formidable diseño. Gracias. Un abrazo Feliz Navidad y prospero 2016 con más vídeos

hey guy thanx for the great review answered some questions. Two thumbs up lol

[@ToolCraze]

glad it helped, thanks for watching

[@newera2782]

Amazing, I want....

[@samarmstrong4328]

But I can change bits in like 10 seconds minimum and it’s not that hard

[@KingParisBuckingham]

If its corded its an a+

[@codyhagedorn7399]

It's called a drill driver because its drives the drill. What most people call a drill bit is actually called the DRILL

[@thaisribeiro6711]

pena que demoram para lançar no brasil a preço justo

[@crand20033]

But it's not small so it doesn't fit into tight spaces.

[@KingParisBuckingham]

Its cheaper on Amazon

[@direxxion]

Any idea if can drill wall

[@ToolCraze]

Drywall and stud wall yes. Concrete or brick wall no.

[@MommaBearsCorner]

how about comparing the real pain and cost in discovering that the 2 in one switch driver, (maybe others of theirs, not sure) will NOT take YOUR standard DRILL BITS! Most have an investment in our bits! Not going to go and buy all new bits. REALLY WORX? that is a big deal to me. I am sure others did not realize this also. if it does take a converter, TAKES AWAY COMPLETELY from fast and easy! one of the main reasons i got it. very disappointed over this. there are some out there that does. Seems like you would have included something easy with for this issue vs it going back to store over it, like i most likely am doing. the drill it self is great. Just not going to go out and now buy all new bits for it. no way. And the whole purpose i got this was for the easy and fast reason.

[@richardrees1487]

Prefer drill and my impact

[@XxPhasemanxX]

+Keelin Black This is something that a home owner would use. I doubt its meant for people who use tools on a regular basis and do work that requires power.

[@jimquantic]

Tell me Rich, is your drill also cordless or does it us AC? I'm trying to sort out if this Worx is weak among cordless or weak compared to corded drills

[@DoresoomReviews]

The Worx max torque is 265 in-lbs. That's extremely low for a 20V tool. There are many 12V cordless drills that have higher torque ratings.

[@SadalDay]

great drill for around the house and light jobs

[@YusTus-h9s]

DOES WORX HAVE ONE THAT IS BRUSHLESS NOW?

[@cafeclavosypalos3918]

Nice vídeo!!!! Nice tool! I like one :'(

[@illestmuzik]

come on man. ive told you this before... stop exporting your audio track as stereo... we do NOT want to hear your voice drifting between left and right on speakers or headphones.. its very unprofessional. convert your audio (speech) to a mono track to fix the problem. nice video but the audio is killing me.. put headphones on and listen to yourself.

[@ToolCraze]

+illestmuzik I've looked into my editing software switching the audio to mono and either it's not there or it's buried under all of its menu settings. I will say I'm working on a new solution with a new microphone system. You guys may not have noticed but I've tried out 3 new different mics - all mono but had to take them all back due to wireless issues and audio quality and return to the one I currently use. All were expensive $400+ systems and I expected better audio. I'm working on finding a new mic system

[@illestmuzik]

+Tool Craze the mic you have is perfectly fine honestly. and as far as converting it to mono... that is something that doesnt even have to be done inside of your video editing software and can be done in free software such as audacity or and DAW. you dont have to buy a mono mic, you can still use stereo ones im just saying it should be very easy to make it mono. again im not hating on your videos just helping you fix this problem. if you want you can let me know on what you use to record audio and what format / setup and video software and ill tell you how to make it mono in any software. also again most people dont know that software is key in high end, you dont always need a high end $1k dollar mics when you can use software to make a $100 mic sound like a $500 one. its like taking a photo and not editing it... that photo wont pop until its processed. software can process your mic in real time or you can do it afterwards in post. so dont go looking for a stupid $$$ mic when you have everything you need.

[@ToolCraze]

+illestmuzik I have audio editing software that came bundled with my video editing software but I need a solution that fixes the issues I have through hardware. The reason I don't use the software because that adds more work. I already have a full plate. I need to lesson my load not add to it. If you seen all the work that went into editing each video, you'd freak out and probably say forget it. So I need a solution that requires no extra effort. I also need a wireless mic because, its simply too much of a hassle being tethered to my camera and having to connect and disconnect is a pain. A new wireless system, fixes my wired to the camera issues and also all the user audio complaints I get without adding post processing waste of time.

[@ToolCraze]

+illestmuzik I use sony movie studio

[@lixckz]

not so powerful

[@ToolCraze]

I said that in the review

[@12121149]

Good tool for the home handyman.Way to weak for regular daily use,just sayin' '

I said it was weak in the video. I don't get why you have a disagreeing attitude when you are actually agreeing with what I said?
