If AI-generated code makes new development much faster do you think the maintenance to development ratio will increase, even if the absolute count of maintenance stays equals?

You know you could have used a 90 degree chuck buddy. Or better yet, an angle grinder to make it a friction drive from above.

Direct drive, yes, also direct drill.

Watch out for the gear change, may end up in hammer action.

My first thought after reading this title: Oh cool, they've taken part in a drill and used the motor. I don't really know what that looks like inside a power drill. This will be an interesting post.

Immediately opened it and laughed out loud. Perfect execution, no notes.

Wonder how this would work with an impact? Also, since it already uses one-way bearings, could another drill/impact be fitted to the other side so that there are two “gears” available?
