It’s great when common and accepted devices undergo radical changes. The T-handle handheld screwdrivers were like that when we first got them. The Skil 360 Quick Select has some of the most subtle, yet radical changes to a power screw driver that you’ll ever see. The 12 bits are inside a revolving chamber, the device can be charged via a USB port and it has a light to guide you as you’re screwing something in or out. Literally all you need is Twiki from Buck Rogers to come out and start doing your work for you, but then you’d get all distracted by Erin Gray and you’ve got work to do, so hop to it.
You get all of this in a compact cordless screwdriver that is only slightly bigger than your hand. It took me a second to grasp that the bits are inside of a revolving chamber. When you locate the bit that you need to used just slide the switch on top of the drill forward and your bit will lock into place.
Once the task is done slide the switch back and the bit will go back into the chamber. Now put a light on the screw driver that points to the area where you’re working and make the device chargeable via a USB port and you get why this is such a cool tool. The drill comes with a cord that can be plugged into an outlet or detached for charging via your computer.
The obvious genius of this tool is that you won’t lose your bits. In my tool box I have the remnants of at least four sets of bits and still don’t have a complete set.
This won’t replace all of your screw drivers or drills. The bits are small so you won’t be able to access some screws and it lacks the torque power of a hammer drill. Having said that; the Skil 360 Quick Select is a great tool for everyday jobs and is so much fun to use that you’ll be looking for projects to do.

Tough decision! Probably me…..since I would enjoy to use it and enjoy it when he does as well!!
With two young daughters scrabbling around my ankles, most of my DIY jobs around the house must be done at night. The light on the drill might well come in handy…though I can’t see how I’m going to get my girls to sleep through the noise of me drilling through their wall!
I would enjoy using this, but I’m sure the boyfriend could find some uses for it too! Probably using it to do his “honey do” list around our house!
My husband would. He’s my Mr. Fixit!
My spouse, for sure!
Actually it would be my dad who would use this more or maybe my boys.
My spouse would love this! He is wishing for one!

I love it! I would use it the most
There are so many things I’d would use that for. Sometimes my 18V is just too big. And sometimes a screwdriver isn’t good enough.
Hubby will use it the most.
