The base serves as both a
charging stand and a handy holder while changing bits. The tray
holds four bits in dedicated slots, with a grooved slot for the
arbor wrench, and dished trays on each side any extras. Though the
stylus comes with a basic assortment of bits and tools, you'll want
to add the one of expanded tool sets. I choose the 150 piece set and
that's already come in handy.
Controls for the Stylus are placed for convenience.
The on off switch can be operated with the index finger without
a stretch. Just above it the arbor lock is a simple slide button
that can held easily with the thumb when changing bits. And of course
the motor controller is a dial on the rear of the housing that can
be adjusted with the free hand while holding the Stylus in the working
position. All in all it is a well thought out design.
The proof of this is the ease of using using the
Stylus when working wood, metal, or plastic. What was once a challenge
-- holding the tool steady for fine work -- is no longer a problem.
Detailed cuts are performed with an accuracy previous possible only
with a stand. Freehand work becomes as intuitive picking up a pen
and signing your name. The flexibility and precise control that
the Stylus affords the user is found nowhere else. Craftsmen will
love it. I do.
