A Gimmicky Drill With a Killer Feature: The Ability to Indicate Level or Plumb

To be clear, I’d never buy this toy-like xDrill from Robbox; in the demo video you can actually see the run-out in the chuck and bit. Also, the last thing I want is a power tool with an LED touchscreen.

However, it’s got at least one killer feature–the ability to indicate when you’re drilling dead level (I assume this works for plumb too).

Having the ability to drill perfectly perpendicular holes is the only reason I still covet a drill press. Why doesn’t every handheld drill have this feature?
