DeWalt DT7612-XJ ' Flip Drive Set , 12 pieces

Brilliant service for a very good item... no delays

These are the best on the market at this time.The Makita ones have dropped in quality and are cheap and nasty now ( they used to be the best when they had brass collars and some level of quality control ).The counter sinks and drills are sharp and the quick release is nice and positive.I have 2 minor complaints, firstly the grub screws are a bit rubbish (soft metal or not accurately made) and secondly I wish the hex shaft was a bit smaller so it would fit into a standard hex driver.Works well and saves time.

I am writing this review with the hope of saving you time, effort and money , recently I purchased a cheap set of flip bits silverline brand. 1 use and they failed, the bit lock fell apart, the drill bits spun in the holder, and then trying to stop that I rounded of the Allen grub screw. I then paid £8 more for this dewalt set, the delivery was quick, the price was good, and wow what a difference this set just oozes quality. Highly recommended ,

A handy little tool to save time and seems to work well. The case it comes in is poor, had difficulty getting the various bits out as they are in too tight but I’ve put them in a set of tstak drawers so fine now. I can’t fault the tool at all it does what it’s meant to.

Saves so much time. Comprehensive kit, has all I need included. So much cheaper to buy the kit rather than the individual components.

Oozes quality and doesn't disappoint.. To be honest, as the flip driver will be on my cordless drill/driver all the time, the need for such a large and possibly expensive case which will remain half empty, forever, seems a waste.. However, the unit is really good quality, strong and capable and with the added bonus that the drill bits are longer than other types available, it means the pilot hole can be in deeper material before the countersink section makes contact with the wood.. The drill bit is longer, because the holder has a hollow shaft all the way through the spindle, thus longer drill bits can be used..

DeWALT has a bad rep with bit's and this didn't change my mind. I always use WERA but thought I would give DeWALT another try. All my powertools are 12 / 18V / FLEXVOLT DeWALT and think I have and use every one (they are brilliant) it just baffles me why they drop standards on such small, but VERY important bit's. WERA are a different breed, they are expensive but I've never broken one or rolled one, EVER. Guess you get what you pay for. Drives me nuts that I have all the Tough System 2.0 boxes, the whole range of cordless tools and then let down by the bits. They are like chocolate sadly. The bits have always been the same it pains me to say. :-(

Handy little piece of kit in principle designed to save time when changing from drilling pilot holes and countersinks to screwdriving. However, the design is flawed in that with only a couple of uses the grub screws loosen and one has to constantly stop and tighten them with the fiddly little allen key which ultimately takes more time than changing bits in my drill driver. I doubt I'll be using the kit much as a result. Shame.
