New Worx drill adjusts shaft length

The new Worx 4V XTD Xtended Reach Driver features a patented extending shaft that reaches fasteners in recessed areas and an offset chuck for access in tight corners. Its high-capacity MaxLithium battery holds a charge for up to 18 months.

The XTD driver’s distinguishing feature is its top-mounted slide switch that extends the tool’s drive shaft up to 2 in. for greater reach. There are nine shaft positions, ranging from 0 to 2 in. to handle a variety of applications. The longer drive shaft improves visibility and helps drive screws straighter with less slipping. This reduces stripped screw heads and worn bits. An auto spindle lock allows the tool to be used as a manual screwdriver.

“This lightweight (1.1 lb.), compact driver is great for installing curtain rods, mini-blinds, electrical boxes and outlet plates, coat hooks, bathroom accessories, kitchen cabinet hardware and many other home improvements and repairs,” the company said.
