I have a corded "anniversary model" sawzall wth this chuck.  You are correct:  It is very easy and quick to use.

For larger-size end wrenches and impact sockets, I buy the cheap stuff.  The price difference is extreme, and these tools work just fine.  Small-sizes, I go with at least Craftsman.

I bought a 90-degree drill motor on sale from HF for 25 bucks.  Since a name-brand unit is 200 or more, it was a no-brainer.  It still works fine, and may outlive me.  I'm sure not going to wear out 8 of them.
