Robert Cowan | Is xDrill the future of power tools?! (probably not) @RobertCowanDIY | Uploaded 4 years ago | Updated 5 minutes ago
I've been seeing ads for the 'xDrill' pop up just about everywhere so I decided to give it a look. It seems like so many other Kickstarters that claim to be the "first every smart whatever", but ultimately it looks like it creates more problems than it solves. Let's dig into the video and see if it has any redeeming features.
That being said, I could be totally wrong about this drill and maybe it really is everything I'm missing in life. But I doubt it.
