5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent tool!, November 2, 2005

This review is from: Makita 784827-A Quad-Driver 4-Piece Reversible and Self-Centering Pre-Drill, Drive and Countersink Set (Tools & Home Improvement)

This tool is invaluable when used for setting hinges! Hold the hinge in place, push the drill against it and know that it's centered in the hole. Works just like a Vix bit only you can pop it out the holder, flip it, put it back in the holder and voila', now you've got a driver to power in the screw. I've gone through three sets as they tend to grow feet and walk away. :(

December 16th 2009 EDIT:
My latest one has lasted three years. The housing eventually cracks at the corners where the bit slides through. I ended up just buying single piece set to replace the holder. The springs on the vix part (that push against the retactable head) have held up and have not failed. I have replaced all of the drill bits and screw tips countless times. I have not yet seen a better setup than this.

4.0 out of 5 stars Long Wait, May 28, 2003

This tool is very versitable and convienent. It is a must for jobs requiring predrill(not countersink). The 4 piece set will do most jobs. The only concern I have with this product is the availability of it. I waited 4+ weeks for it to arrive. Also I have not been able to locate any replacement parts in any of my local stores. This tool is made very well and seems to be able to stand daily use in the construction field.

This review is from: Makita 784827-A Quad-Driver 4-Piece Reversible and Self-Centering Pre-Drill, Drive and Countersink Set (Tools & Home Improvement)

I have been using these self centering, reversable drill/driver little jewels for years. They have been made by different manufacturers over the years including Craftsman and I think DeWalt. I'm a Locksmith and use them CONSTANTLY for latch, bolt and strike plates, hinges and many other lock hardware applications. I read a review that speaks of a little wobble. I found that is normal and actually the little bit of "loosness" is good for functionality. It has NO effect on the function of the tools.They are all very well built and you get your moneys worth out of them. I just ordered two new sets for my tool boxes. The old ones are still working fine although showing definite battle scars and normal W&T. I have lost a few somehow but have yet to wear any out....and I use them on both hard and soft woood and even thing metal.I just want to make sure I have a couple of "back-ups" in case like a lot of other good things, the decision is made not to make them any more....or one gets broken or damaged. I have not used the "MAKITA" brand, but I'm sure they are well made. These are the first I have seen in a set with the very small screwdriver bit. Again...a FANTASTIC product.
