As a Geek, I see power tools just a little different than most. I'm excited about the details and which ones have what makes sense instead of just which one is best for the ego. Sure, I like powerful. But I also appreciate it when someone just gets the balance of power and usability right.

Rapid-Load Bit Set with Screwdriver

For the next 2 weeks, we're featuring a DeWALT 30 piece rapid-load set with a bonus screwdriver for just $14.99. I got one of these for my father and my father-in-law for Christmas this past year and they both love it.

What's Included?
There are 13 of the most common screwdriver bits, 5 of the longer "Rapid Load" screwdriver bits, 1/4" and 3/8" socket adapters, the rapid load holder, a magnetic drive guide, 6 rapid load drill bits, a carrying case and a 7-in-1 screwdriver.

What is Rapid-Load?
Rapid-load bits lock into the holder and change quickly with just a tug. The key is that there is a notch at the end of the bit which is held on to by the holder. To release, you just pull the outer ring of the rapid-load holder and the bit is released. Do the reverse to quickly install a new bit. I've got a few and feel lost when I don't have one handy now. I also keep most of the commonly used bits on my drill with a bit band so I don't have to search for them.

A Screwdriver?
Yeah, it isn't really used with all of the bits included in this kit (well, it could be, although drill bits are a bit tough to use with a manual screwdriver handle), but it's still a cool addition. It's got several bits and a switchable holder so you can keep phillips and slotted on the screwdriver at all times. In fact, since the bits reverse as well, you're essentially keeping 2 sizes of each type with you. There are also a few nutsetters included on the ends of the bit holder and one on the handle itself. I normally keep a screwdriver like this in my trunk just in case I need one.

Once again, also available with parts
We're also making this one available with parts - just click here for the kit, then add your parts to your shopping cart as you would normally. You can always call and place your order via the phone if you'd prefer as well. We're not picky.
