Favorite tool

I've had the flexiclik for 3 or 4 years now, upgraded to the brushless when it came out. I do home and rv remodeling. Can't imagine rv work without it. Lots of power and the versatility and size simplify some previously awkward, frustrating tasks. It is my go to ten times more often that my 18v dd.
As a result, I have expanded my 12v line to include 4 other tools. I have not been disappointed.

Better than Festool CXS

I would love to have the brushless UK version, but I like this tool a lot either way.
The quality construction of the tool is mind boggling. Seriously easily one of the best designed combination tool I have worked with.
The offset head is a lifesaver in many situations on the job site.

I almost didn't buy this Chameleon Flexiclick 5in1 driver because of some of the reviews I read saying that it was under-powered or felt like a toy.
This tool is AWESOME! I have no clue how anyone came up with those reviews. My only guess is that they were expecting it to replace all their other tools. It is not meant to do that. It is meant for cabinet making and installation and any job that you need a smaller tool that has the ability to get into most anywhere that you will need. It is not meant to be a drill capable of mixing cement.... But having said that it more than impressed me when it came to power. People were saying to spend the extra and get the brushless version for more power, but when I took this out of the bag and fired it up it had enough power to flex my wrist a little. I tried a 1-3/4" spade bit in it expecting to bog it down but it went through like butter! Again, I'm not suggesting that you use this for that big bit regularly, but it is able to handle it should you need it on the rare occasion that you didn't have your 18V handy.The components are very solid and feel like they would last forever.
Lastly, while I'm usually a red battery tool guy, I didn't like their version of this tool and since I had nothing 12V yet, I decided to go Bosch and I am extremely happy with my decision after using it for a few days.

I got this about 1 month ago. It performs great! The clicking system is really solid, and the drill feels great in the hand. Nice to have in my install kit!

Everyone in the neighborhood now had one of these

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] There may be drills with stronger motors, with larger chucks, with bigger batteries. But this one works for every single job. Rarely there is anything I need to do that this wont do! It is small enough to get in everywhere, and strong enough to get 95% of all the work I need it to do.
Also, it is indestructible. dropped it many times, thought I burned its motor multiple times. Nope, still going, after 4 years of use.

This has been so useful that 2 of my neighbors just got the same one after seeing me use it.

I got the drill in November and after using it daily all I can say is this drill is a beast and will handle most jobs you throw at it. I’ve used it for cabinet installs, hung doors and drilled plywood with no problem. Great product!!

Fantastic combo tool for most home improvement

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a solid drill/driver; it handles basically anything I throw at it, although heavier drilling requires a little patience.
I appreciate that the work light stays on after I release the trigger, although I wish it was a ring light like the 12V Max impact driver has.
Where this goes from "solid" to "fantastic", though, is the Flexiclick feature -- if I'm mounting new shades to the underside of a tall window or speaker mounts above a high entryway to my living room, I don't need to juggle a separate drill and driver. I can just mount the drill head, tuck the driver head in my pocket, and swap them as needed.
It is also, of course, more economical -- you're not paying for two motors, four batteries, two battery chargers, and so on, just the extra heads.
I wouldn't want to build a chicken coop with this (I'd use the 18 V version!), but it is *perfect* for an enthusiastic DIY city apartment dweller who's not doing heavy woodworking.
I would recommend this to a friend!
