This may not be as sexy as a new LMG or ultra-light robotic assist bulletproof LBE, but you have to admit it’s a little cool.
It’s a drill that works like a revolver and after talking to a couple of contractors (the construction kind, not the gun-totin’ convoy kind) I think there’s an argument to be made for mentioning it here on Kit Up.
The 2lb. Worx SD Semi-Automatic Power Screwdriver uses a 4V lithium-ion battery and will charge from dead to full in 3 hours (the manufacturer advises it will hold charge for up to 18 months). The cordless drill has a rotating six-chamber bit cylinder that will cycle to a new drill bit each time the ‘slide’ is racked, and it has a second six-chamber cylinder to hold a reload. An LED automatically illuminates when the trigger is pressed, so watch your light discipline.
The Worx WX254L SD Semi-Automatic Power Screw Driver with 12 Driving Bits will be available 05 December 12—just in time for Christmas at the local Naval Construction Battalion.

Sweet post. First time I’ve seen something about Seabees posted here.
I’m going to go find video of this thing in action.
Awesome!! I may have to get one
All you HT’s out there might give this a test. For all the landlubbers out there, HT is NavSpeak for Hull Maintanence Technician.

MSRP?
Wow, only $50. I’ve been looking for a good quality screwdriver. If this one is any good I’d pick one up
