Default Norms Interchangable Driver/Drill set up...

Hi Guys, anybody know what screw driver/drill bit combo that Norm uses on the show? I have the Craftsman system and I don't care much for it. On Norms the drill bit slides over the top of the screw driver bit and is very quick to slide off and then back on.

Thanks!

Corey

Better than cute Harry. The Jackrabbit is very fast. I have several designs where the countersink and drill bit are on one end and the opposite end has a driver bit. Flipping these bits is much faster than changing all the time, but not near as fast at the Jackrabbit.

That is DEFINITELY a creative idea - and my gadget freak side wants me to order one NOW.
And if I was buying tools from scratch -- it would be a no-brainer.
But - since I already have screwdriver bits, drill bits and countersink bits (and even a couple of drill bit/countersink bit combos) ----
My cheapskate side tells me I should put that $60 toward another cordless drill - keep the drill/countersink bit on one - and the screwdriver bit on the other.
That way - when I wasn't scr - - working with screws --- I would have still have two drills.
hmmm ---

I was watching Norm build the Workshop Hutch for about the 10th time when I noticed his quick change. I always thought he used the Craftsman one which I have grown to hate... it's a pain in my opinion but anyway... the Jack Rabbit will be in my tool box soon if I have anything to say about it and I don't always!
