Dewalt DT7612 Quick Change - Drill & Drive Accessory System Review

This accessory is offered by Dewalt to enable the user to drill  and counter sink holes and then tighten up screws without having to use a different drill or screwdriver attachment.

Blow moulded box

I had about 400 pozidrive #2 head screws to put into a project I was building and didn't relish the task. Either I had to buy another drill or get a quick change head. I opted for the latter.

The device comprises:

• A main drive holder with a hex drive shank that fits into the drill chuck. It has a socket which takes the drill/driver holder
• A drill/driver holder
• 3 drills giving tapping size for #1 to #3 pozidrive/philips drive
• 3 countersink bits with clearance hole for the drills
• 5 drivers (3 #2 pozidrive, 2 #2 philips drive)
• 1 all key/wrench
• 1 blow molded box

In use you put the main drive holder into the drill and secure.

Drill/Driver holder and main drive body

Next you chose the tapping drill you wish to use and insert it into the drill/driver holder. The countersink is positioned at the depth you want to drill to and secured with 2 socket head grub screws.
Next lock off the two grub screws securing the drill into the body of the drill/driver holder.
All that remains is to insert the driver into the other end of the magnetised holder and secure with a single grub screw.

Then it is a simple matter of inserting the drill/driver holder into the main drive body. It locks into place with a spring loaded latch.

Insert the drill/driver

Drill the hole and countersink in the piece of wood and then push the locking collar forward. This releases the drill/driver holder. Take it out and invert it. Put it back into the drive body and you are ready to tighten up the screw.

Inserting the drill/driver in driver configuration

When I had finished drilling 400 holes and inserting the screws I was really impressed how quick it was to do it. The drill still had a keen edge and the driver didn't look as though it had been used.
You soon develop a skill of holding the electric drill and changing the bit with one hand.

Assembly set ready to drive.

Overall I can recommend this as a useful addition to the shop or for site working for the professional. This is a superb accessory for any drill.
