I have a quick-change drill, but one of these would really make things convenient; you can change between drill and driver faster than with the quick-change chuck. It's also nice to have one attachment for piloting and driving screws, rather than going through my collection of drill bits for one that's the right size, scrounging up a countersink, and grabbing a screw bit. $50 does seem a bit much though. The Cabinet Maker Set is a little more economical at about $35. I loved this when I got a chance to use one, and it’s been on my wishlist for awhile, though not at the top.

I prefer instead to go the dedicated tool route also. But they do work, chucked in an impact driver, for some of that annoying punch list type of stuff, when you don't want to be dragging multiple tools around, or for when your working off ladders, and don't want to be weighed down with a couple of drills hanging from you belt.

But on this one I’m with Chaim that this doesn’t appear to be any better than other options. We like Bosch and Milwaukee quick change chucks, that we leave in place (chucked) in many of our drills. We then can swap in driver bits and hex-shank drill bits just as quickly or conveniently / inconveniently as this Jack rabbit tool. If we are doing a lot of back and forth – we dedicate cordless impact drivers to driving and cordless drill to drilling – changing the tool not the bit.
