The little iXo2-style derringers are great, because they're designed from the ground up with a hex chuck, and waste no space. I'd prefer to see an actual quick-change Hex chuck that would *replace* my existing Jacobs-style chuck, thereby shaving length off the drill rather than adding to it. The interchangeable chucks on the Festool C12 should serve to inspire many a drill designer. My beef is that the adapter extends the already-unwieldy nose of the drill even further.

Pretty handy (keep it a cordless normally used with driver bits, and light drilling.) Don't know that I'd go totally over to rapid load bits for drilling; the rapid loader doesn't hold the bits as tightly as a chuck, and I imagine the bits are more expensive. Have a DeWalt set.
