The Switchdriver, a new product from [Worx](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/worx-zipsnip-cutting-tool), has the potential to significantly speed up the work process for construction professionals and handypeople everywhere. The power tool has a unique, rotating head that can carry two completely different drill bits at once, making it more versatile than other [electric screwdrivers or power drills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dremel-blueprint-multidrill) on the market.

The Switchdriver's rotating dual chucks can be switched with just the press of a trigger and a turn of the wrist, taking seconds to transfer to a new tool. For hobbyists or professionals who need to frequently alternate between two screw heads during a project, the Switchdriver can save time and effort. And with a [20-volt battery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cordless-power-tools), the compact device can keep up with most other power tools in its price bracket.
