Summary

The WORX WX176L cordless drill driver comes with two 20V batteries, a battery charger, 1/8-inch drill bit and #2 Philips driver bit. The manufacturer warranty of 3 years makes this purchase a risk-free deal. This drill driver has the best use in a variety of indoor applications and the price tag makes it really attractive when you compared with other power tools of the same class.

The WORX WX176L Switch-driver comes with a unique design that works well in a variety of applications. With this tool, you will be able to use two bits by just rotating chuck at 90 degrees. It not only saves a lot of time, but also allows hassle free drilling or driving.

Other than its unique design, WX176L also offers some unique features. Before concluding if the drill is a good purchase, let’s check its features in details to ensure if offers a good return for the money.

A Master Piece of Spectacular Design

LED light comes with some top brands for increased visibility but the location is unique in its design. You might notice that the LED is located under the thick chuck and the work site gets dark under its shadow, but LED in this drill really caught my attention. Chuck size is significantly reduced and the flash is placed right above the chuck.

The visibility with built-in flash on the WORX Switchdriver with Rotating Dual Chucks 2-in-1 Cordless Drill and Driver is superior to any other design in the industry. The good balance design and weight of only 2.9 pounds (bare tool) helps this drill beat other cordless contestants with the combination of compact and ergonomic design and power. The chuck will not slip while applying pressure. It is locked and rotates only when DUAL CHUCK RELEASE BUTTON is pressed, which is located right above the trigger switch.

Perfect for Home & Office Projects

The ¼-inch HEX chuck is keyless for quick and easy bit changing and it will fit a variety of accessories. The tool is powered by 20V MAXLITHIUM battery. This drill features variable speed trigger switch and you can use the lock button to maintain a specific rotation. If you want more control, the two-speed gear control is located on the top. High and low-speed settings allow you to choose between speed and torque.

The electronic torque adjusting dial has 11+1 position settings that provide precise control, preventing any slippage on screws. The WORX Switchdriver Cordless Drill delivers 265-inch-pound of torque which is low for a 20V drill driver. However, peak RPM is 1350/min. Charging time may be a disappointment, but the two batteries in the package solve this issue. You can keep working with one while other remains in the charger. These batteries can also hold the charge for months.
