You can't really say it's a bad tool. That tool could be perfect for certain people. It's definitely not pro grade. It's for simple DIY stuff. You gotta call it what it is and who it could be useful for.
Just bought this, I’m an electrician and this is awesome for me when I’m doing trim outs (removing old plugs and replacing with new ones) this tools it’s great
I've got a couple worx tools I bought them back when they were a lot cheaper. They've not good for real heavy work but for occasional use they aren't the worst.
This is a useful tool if you're drilling pilot holes and then running in the fastener. The Worx has its place. Only downside is that the twist drill bits have to be on a 1/4" hex shank and those are more extensive than standard chuck bits.
its a great tool for that kind of work. this channel tests out the cost of the tool with the power. there are so many other options out there that cost the same as this with being more compact with more power.
This feature is not usless it's good for cabinet makers and installing hardware I am a cabinet maker i ise 2 drills so i don't need to change bits this feature will help alot
I've had 3 Worx drills, 2 were replaced on waranty because the motors burnt out in about 7 / 8 hours of use and the third one I got my money back and moved to a brand Erbauer (the batterys are cross combatable) I've now been using this drill for abour 4 years with no problem and the 2.6 amp battery charges from empty in around 45 mins
Not sure why you reviewed this tool, it's not intended for heavy lumber or timber framing. This tool is clearly designed and intended for finish work (primarily countersinking screws), not for drilling 1 inch holes or driving 8 inch screws.. your tests are flawed. I've never used the Worx tool but I'm definitely picking one up. I'd love to see you have to countersink 100 screws and drive them, 1 by 1 and compare the time it takes for this drill vs any $200+ drill that you can find. Heck, you can use 2 x $200+ drills (one to drill + one to drive) .. this tool will run circles around them.. I've had projects where my batteries have died after hours of drilling and driving, the pain of sharing batteries between 2 devices or one that could do both .. or having to switch between drill and driver on the same device is torture, borderline waterboarding... I would only suggest that you modify your tests more towards the purpose of the device than generic power and logevity, but all in all, your results show that this isn't that bad compared to top end tools .. I just with you would have captured the positive, ie. what it is intended to do
Worx keeps they best products in domestic market (China) such as wu132 12v impact driver, some Korean channel have tested it and the driver destroys almost all name brands and can keep up with Milwaukee m12 fuel, pretty impressive you should get one and have a try.
All my tools are Worx, the best I’ve ever bought as a diyer, I’m not a professional but then they aren’t sold as pro, the one thing that Worx does better than all the big hitters is their customer service is out of this world, best of any I’ve ever used, my first drill driver had heavy use building a 18ft by 9 ft shed a 21ft by 10ft deck and about 40 metres of fence line plus a lot of other smaller jobs it lasted 9 years before packing up best £129.99 I’d ever spent.
@@UncleIvan1 I no a guy that had some worx stuff and He got a using them and he didn’t like them and I played around with some of his stuff the battery’s seem to be ok but like his worx push mower It’s kinda weak his if the grass is a little high like to ur ankle if want cut it just does a bad job motet want stay at a high rpm to cut it The weed eater he has it’s ok it’s no weed hog but it will work for his grass The drill he has Walmart has a better one His wife went to harbor freight and got him the 80v Atlas push mower and that thing u can tell a big difference in it will cut and cuts good I like it mows tall grass to
@@jasonmartin9393 I personally don't buy power tools from harbor freight, but for a regular home owner it's a decent option....I guess if you buy cheap Chinese tools, might as well buy better quality Chinese tools lol 😆
I remember this exact kit on sale for $39 about a year+ ago. Not bad for a small home owner or apartment dweller. Due to inflation, supply chain issues, etc., we all have seen the prices of everything rise & will continue to rise in the years to come. Thanks David!
I have a few worx tools and this one in the video is probably the weakest one, i would like to see a green one if they are available in US or even the WX373 model or the slammer drill WX354, that thing is a beast.
I am a Dewalt guy, and just so you know, we the people of the world see you giving a bad rap to Worx, you started negative & mostly stayed that way. Worx is not a bad tool, just ask the millions that own & brag on Worx.. I am thinking about the Nitro 186W weed eater multi, so thats why I have watched about 60 vids with Worx in them.
Worx is pretty decent stuff, i've got a Worx corded oscillating multitool and compact circ saw. They work fine for occasional use, nothing a pro should run around with tho.
For $80 it isn't a good value. You're better off with an installation driver from Bosch, Milwaukee or DeWalt. They can be had for as low as $150 with 2 batteries and much quicker charger. And they do more with the 5-in1 attachments. Do the math and the Worx is over $150 if you add an extra battery and a halfway decent charger. Or get some good value brand like Skil for less than $80, sometimes even as a combo with an impact driver. WORX is just No bueno.
I actually really like my worx tools I use mine very often not the most powerful tool but if used right and taking care of they are fantastic let them cool off don't expect wrist snapping powerful and take your time they are great I build fire trucks for a living I know what makes a great tool I would never use them in that field I like to build speaker cabinets and they are great for my hobby and around the house
I've had good luck with everything I bought from them......UNTIL now ,tried to buy parts and string for trimmer they say they can't take credit card #s over phone so they give you a number to call automated system which won't accept credit card, won't answer email???
Interesting. I haven’t compared comparable tools in brushed and brushless. Wonder if that’s going to get better. Most brushless motor controllers require that the motor be spinning at a certain minimum speed to detect motor position, so that can could be an issue. I expect controllers to keep improving, though. Do you think some brands are better than others?
@@gf2e, yeah, the more you pay, the better the kit. My favourite pair are my old Bosch 36v combi drill and sds plus, superior to any of my brushless machines. Much smoother power delivery from zero RPM, but still packing a punch. When I want control, it's brushed. When I need all out power, it's brushless. I flit back and forth between the two.
@@mrclive5 I notice this increased throttle control on my P235 brushed impact driver. The extra throttle control has come in quite handy on a number of occasions. That's one of the reasons the P235 is one of my favorite tools... and the ergonomics. 👍
I have had problems with the trigger sticking when drilling! Anyone else with that problem? BTW, I had Worx send me a second drill and it does the same thing
This type of tools been out for years there was a as seen on TV version. Way before worx had one original one was such trash but it paved the way for this I don't remember if it was red housing or what you talking like years ago Google it it may even be a video on TH-cam of it who knows this has its place for a home game and that's it
That's the most ridiculous thing I have heard come out your mouth if I take it to failure on things it's not supposed to do it's a bad tool. If people use that to drive 12 inch timber locks and drill holes for rough electric they are as goofy as this tool is. I say if it does half of what you put it through it's good enough for the average joe work at the house it's not for construction bro.
@@ManCaverTools I understand that point but still not trash. Let me preface this by saying I dont care in the least about worx and I dont own any. I am sure some people are on the platform already and this drill will fill a need that doesn't require putting on a ship auger.
I love the concept of this drill the it switch from drilling to driving a screw but it is not a heavy duty drill but there is a brushless version of the switch drill this is for installation of fencing or other projects but yeah the charger sucks you got to get the one hour charger for it I have the axis saw impact driver and the 5In circular saw and they are good inexpensive tools.
Gee ? This Worx Switch Driver's purpose is to drill pilot holes with a drill bit on one side and then drive then in with a screw bit on the other side in one quick operation. Why not compare a Worx Impact driver with with your other impact drivers. It would be more of a fair test. my 2 cents worth !
It's not useless. It has a very definite place and purpose. I have two and love them. I also have more powerful tools, all of which have a place in the world. You were prejudice before you even started. What you need to do is test them in real live use case scenarios. Would you pull a trailer with a small EXPENSIVE sports car, or a larger CHEAPER SUV? Does the sports car still have a place in the world? Think about it... Right at the end you even spoke the words, "it survived and I didn't really want it to". So were you prejudice before you even started? If you are going to be a fair TH-cam product reviewer, you can't go into your reviews with preconceived notions about the products. Look at some of the other respected reviewers here.
This tool cost the same as the other examples I use in this video. But let's use your example. If your task is to tow and the SUV cost the same as a sports car, which one would you pick?
Fyi I own my own heating and plumbing business in Maine. I have way more that 30k in cordless press tools, pex tools, and cordless pipe threaders, and so on. I tried other brands only to be disappointed. DeWalt mega press along is $5k +or - at FW Webbs.

This is a useful tool if you're drilling pilot holes and then running in the fastener. The Worx has its place. Only downside is that the twist drill bits have to be on a 1/4" hex shank and those are more extensive than standard chuck bits.

I would've recommended Skil 12v as a similar priced alternative, I've seen the Skil 12v drill with level for like $65
Skil's 12V lineup is one of the best for the money. And it's got more torque than this one + all-brushless tools
brushless tools in general
Wouldn't a Ryobi be a better choice for the small time diyer? At least it gets them into a battery system they might want to expand upon
