Mansfield Dual Bit Drill
Need to qiuckly pre-drill a hole before you drive in that screw? In a hurry? Your in luck.

The Dual-Drill allows you to switch back and forth between a drill bit and a screw bit on the fly, simply by rotating the chuck.
Skeptical? Rest easy...it's endorsed by the reputable 'As Seen on TV' folks...an enduring sign of quality.

Very clever - just waiting for the Dewalt contractor grade version
Posted by: Chuck at March 16, 2006 1:48 AMDual-drill's info-mercial is dishonest and over-hyped. Especially the part showing the Makita 12volt failing in use. I hope Makita sues their ass. I have a Makita 12 volt and it is great. The dual drill is bulky and looks cheaply made, With today.s lock and load drill bits and accessories, I'd never consider owning this monstrosity-but mainly because of the distorted infomercial. It also fails to note that most, if not all, cordless drills in the $200 category provide two batteries and a quick charger. Bad Sunday entertainment-cheap spirited-for suckers...sad. I'd be surprised if this tool din't turn out to be as cheaply-made as the commercial is dishonest.
Posted by: JN at April 2, 2006 12:27 PMWhat Chuck says is true. I was one of the fools who baught one and two days after receiving it, I called to ship it back. The drill did not run smooth, but more likc a drill with a bent shaft. My checking account was charged for the full cost 2 days after receipt, forget about the 14 day trial without being billed. When I called and asked why, I did not get an answer. I was only told I would get my money back after they receive the drill. I called them liars and a few other things, and no matter how many times I confronted the rep about the early withdrawel from my account, I just kept getting the same answer...."you will get you money back when we receive the drill. LIARS, LIARS, LIARS. This is only the first step. I am contacting the BBB and making a formal complaint with them. I guess they don't respect or care about their customers. Oh, they do claim to stand behind their product 100%!!! What a f*cking joke. I only hope whoever reads this will take this warning to heart. If you don't believe me, order one and find out for yourself. Save your money for a good drill. Don't waste your money on this scam....I even told them they were scamming people.....they did not deny it.
