>> announcer: the following is a paid presentation for the 3rill, brought to you by rockwell. [♪...] introducing the 3rill ultimate drill system. [whirring, clicking, ♪...] three tools in one, offering optimum drilling, driving and impact performance on demand. no other tool offers this combination. >> this product is a problem-solver for me. >> this is the definitely the real deal. i mean, you can tell by the design of it that it's quality. >> it's got the power when i need power and the precision when i need precision. >> i like it. i like it a lot.
5:01 am
>> announcer: with multiple time-saving attachments, up to 2200 r.p.m. and eight to 800 inch-pounds of torque, the 3rill will provide all the versatility and power you need to get the job done right... right now. [♪...] >> hi, i'm chris leary. >> and i'm jodi marks. as a licensed contractor, i know the frustration of being in the middle of a project and having to change out tools. well, not anymore. >> this is the 3rill ultimate 3-in-1 cordless drill/driving system. it's the latest power tool innovation from rockwell. >> it's a drill, it's a driver, it's an impact gun, all in one convenient, versatile and compact design. >> here's how it works: as a drill, you've got two settings: high-torque and high-speed, whatever the project calls for. >> jodi: for screwdriving, set the 22-position clutch and the 3rill perfectly countersinks the screw every time. >> i don't care what kind of a drill you've got-- whatever it is, it can't do this.
5:02 am
you just flip the switch over to impact mode and you've got up to 800 pounds of driving torque. >> that's incredible. now you can drive long screws and lag bolts with no kickback or no wrist twist. it's pretty effortless because the 3rill is doing all the work. >> chris: the secret behind the 3rill is the ability to go from a drill and screwdriver to an impact driver with a simple flip of a switch. when you select impact mode, the tool engages the impact mechanism. this delivers powerful pulses of energy to the screw or bolt. the same technology is used on automotive impact wrenches. >> so, what does all of this mean to you? it means that stripped screws and bolts are a thing of the past. >> and no more switching back and forth between tools. >> i can go from a drill just by switching it back to number two here, that gives me a higher speed. one's gonna give me a little more torque. and then, of course, with impact. so it allows me to go back and forth between bits super fast with quick release. >> now, this attachment,
5:03 am
the right-angle attachment, is a miracle worker. it allows me to get into really tight spaces other drills wouldn't-- watch this. [♪...] [whirring] voila! see how easy that is? [♪...] >> o.k., you're using an ordinary drill/driver. you're driving screws and you hit a tough spot, say a knot or whatever. the screw won't move, you muscle it and pretty soon, the bit pops off the screw head or you end up rounding out the screw head. we've all done it. >> well, you won't have either of those problems with the 3rill. just flip the switch over to impact mode and you drive it home. [whirring] >> that's pretty impressive. o.k., but let's say you already have a stuck or rounded out screw that you need to remove. just simply keep it in impact mode and look at this, chris. [whirring] comes right out.
5:04 am
you just can't beat the versatility of the 3rill. >> i like the fact that it's a screwdriver, a drill and an impact driver all in one. >> 3rill compared to the 18-volt is definitely as good. i like it 'cause it's lighter and easier to use and move around the job site. [♪...] >> now, we've shown you how the 3rill is better than an ordinary drill, but let us show you how it's also better than a conventional impact driver. >> well, if you own an impact driver, you know they're just not designed to drill. but that's not a problem with the 3rill. i just flip the switch over to drilling mode and watch the 3rill power this paddle bit right through this 2x4. >> now, look at this, the 3rill is getting a nice, clean cut. >> look at that. >> ta-da! you know, i don't care if you've always had your impact driver on your tool belt, there's just no way you can get the job done more quickly than with the 3rill. to prove the superiority of the 3rill's 3-in-1 design, rockwell put it in front of thousands of professional contractors at the international home builders' show in
5:05 am
orlando, florida. all contractors, all pros, no mercy. [♪...] >> nice and light. [♪...] >> very impressed. i like it. >> it's the same thing. i mean, you can't tell the difference between this and an 18-volt. >> man: i agree, i agree. [whirring] >> it's unreal. >> i'm a general contractor, and we use a tool like this all the time. i mean, it's a great tool, and it's light, it's small, guys can keep it in their tool pouch. >> when you approached me, i was extremely skeptical. but without a question, if you can get other contractors' hands on this, let 'em try it, people would switch to this in a heartbeat. it's a great product. >> the difference in the balance right there, in the weight, is a huge difference. >> you've got batteries for life? that's, that's a good selling point. >> that baby's totally rounded out. [whirring] you don't even have to push, it's just... and it comes right out. >> i mean, that's pretty good for a half-stripped head. >> i gotta get one of these.
5:06 am
it's a really nice tool. [♪...] >> installing blinds and curtains can be a real headache, because the brackets keep you from reaching the screw. but rockwell has a simple solution: they offer these extra-long bits so nothing is out of reach. now, i've already got one of my brackets in place, so all i'm going to do is just simply pop this one into place... locking that down and lining that up with the next hole, grabbing my screw... and you see, typically, i wouldn't be able to get this screw in there, but because i've got that extra-long bit... dropping it into place. now i'm going to grab my blind, i'm going to pop that side in. [♪...] that was pretty easy. >> announcer: if you're frustrated with your ordinary drill that constantly rounds out screws or lacks the power and versatility to finish the job... then you need the all-new 3rill
5:07 am
from rockwell. it's three tools in one: a powerful dual-speed drill, a precision screwdriver and a high-torque impact driver. in the past, you'd need separate tools to drill, to drive or to impact. but with the 3rill, you can do all three with the simple flip of a switch. the 3rill not only switches from drill l to screwdriver, but it n also switch to impact mode and deliver up to 800 inch-pounds of pulsed torque for the increased traction you need for stripped screws and large bolts. it's the same type of technology used on automotive impact wrenches. the high-torque impact mode increasing bit traction and makes removing stuck, even dented, screws no problem. in drill mode, you've got high-torque or high-speed options right at your fingertips. in driver mode, 22 clutch positions provide perfect countersinking.
5:08 am
the 3rill comes with a host of well-thought-out features that make it extremely durable and useful: a powerfully focused l.e.d. light for working in dark spaces... variable-speed trigger for perfect control... an all-metal gear box and high-impact housing with rubberized grip... and with a quick-change chuck, changing bits takes less than three seconds-- no more hand tightening to worry about. all that and it weighs only 2.7 pounds, almost half the weight and size of ordinary drill/drivers. so the 3rill will get into those tight, hard-to-reach places other tools just can't go. the 3rill uses rockwell's proprietary lithiumtech batteries. standard batteries start losing power the minute you take them off the charger, but with rockwell's new lithiumtech batteries, you operate at full power to the end of the charge. and rockwell's lithiumtech batteries have three times the life and charge cycles of comparable ni-cad batteries.
5:09 am
the 3rill's fast-charging power station recharges batteries up to 75% in as little as 15 minutes... and a full charge in only 30. the 3rill's batteries and power station are completely interchangeable with rockwell's growing family of other versatile 12-volt power tools. the 3rill is compact and easily stores in any drawer or toolbox. to do everything that the 3rill would do, you'd need to buy a cordless drill, a cordless screwdriver, an impact driver, a right-angle drill and a screw gun. you'd easily pay over $500 for all those tools and you still wouldn't be able to do all the things that the 3rill can do. but you won't pay anywhere near that for the versatility and convenience of this revolutionary 3-in-1 drilling system. you get the 3rill 3-in-1 driver and impact tool, two lithiumtech batteries, fast battery charger, 24 drill and driver bits, including hard-to-find star and allen insert bits, a convenient
5:10 am
carry bag and accessory case to store everything you see here, plus rockwell will also include the universal right angle attachment for drilling and driving in hard-to-reach areas as a bonus. and now you can try the 3rill with rockwell's 30-day trial. that's right, just pay shipping and processing of $16.37 and you can test the 3rill for 30 days in your home or on the job site. but this amazing 30-day trial is only available for a limited time, so you must act now. the 3rill, two batteries, 24 bits and a bonus universal right angle attachment, yours to try for 30 days for only $16.37. we know you will love your rockwell 3rill, but if you're not satisfied, simply send it back and keep the universal right angle attachment as our gift to you just for trying the rockwell 3rill. that's a $20 universal tool accessory just for trying the rockwell 3rill. you really have nothing to lose. all this backed up by rockwell's two-year limited warranty and rockwell's exclusive free
5:11 am
batteries for life program. that means if the batteries for your 3rill or any other rockwell cordless tool ever wear out, rockwell will replace them for as long as you own it for free, no questions, no hassles. don't delay, this is a limited-time, 30-day trial offer direct from rockwell and is only available through this very special television program. call now to get your very own 3rill 3-in-1 drilling and driving system to try today. >> well, i have very small hands and it fits in my hands. and that's something nice, because the older pieces of equipment that i've owned in the past do not do that. >> i have books that weigh more than this. >> it's very beneficial for me to have a tool, especially a drill, that has the three functions in one, because i need a tool that i can have complete control over, where i can adjust the speed to go as fast or as slow as i need to, i can adjust the power to get through thicker pieces and i can have the torque. it's obvious that rockwell
5:12 am
really did their homework when they were designing this product, because it has all the features that i would look for when i'm going to go purchase the highest-quality product i can afford. >> if this does the work that an 18-volt does, i would be impressed. i would be really impressed. [whirring] i mean, that thing is torquing down as tight as can be and those are lags going into steel through 2x, so, it's impressive. [♪...] >> a common project for many homeowners is to finish off a garage or basement. to attach drywall properly requires countersinking the screws perfectly. you could use an expensive drywall gun, but the 3rill has this special drywall attachment. >> take a look at this. now, i'm going to use the attachment. see there, i get a perfect dimple every time. whether you do this for a living or you're just a weekend warrior, you'll get a professional result every time you use it.
5:13 am
>> this handles all the jobs that i do on my construction sites as easily and as good as an 18-volt product. >> the 3rill is a great tool. >> i've been in the industry now for 20 years. i've been a general contractor for four. i like the 3rill personally just because it's lightweight, the center of gravity is really good for it, so it's really easy in your hand. it has a good pistol grip. overhead work is nice too with how light it is. it makes it super nice, because you know, with 18-volts, you know, you got this battery that's that big compared to your little baby 3rill 12-volt battery. the power's just as good with the 12-volt as it is with the 18-volt. [whirring, ♪...] drive it in, no problem. also, the 3rill charges quicker, so i mean, you know, i gotta wait an hour probably for an 18-volt, whereas 3rill usually,
5:14 am
about a half hour, it's charged and ready to go. the impact is probably what we use the most. but being able to switch back and forth between the drill section and the impact section is a huge time saver for us. we got everything we need right here, all in one shot. this is definitely the real deal. i mean, you can tell by the design of it that it's quality. a lot of cheap drills are just going to be shiny plastic that's going to slip out of your hands. we don't have that with the 3rill. we got a really good quality product that is going to last over time. [♪...] [whirring] >> well, a project like this is a real test of a cordless tool's power and its battery endurance. even with no pre-drilling, though, we are driving these decking screws in with ease. >> you know what i love? the 3rill's ramp-up variable-speed trigger. it allows me to start slow till it bites... [whirring]
5:15 am
then i just drive it home with the impact. >> and with the 3rill's long-lasting batteries and quick charging power station, we won't run out of juice before we finish the job. >> and now rockwell is making the 3rill available to everyone with a special tv offer. check it out. >> announcer: if you're frustrated with your ordinary drill that constantly rounds out screws or lacks the power and versatility to finish the job... then you need the all-new 3rill from rockwell. it's three tools in one: a powerful dual-speed drill, a precision screwdriver and a high-torque impact driver. in the past, you'd need separate tools to drill, to drive or to impact. but with the 3rill, you can do all three with the simple flip of a switch. the 3rill not only switches from drill to screwdriver, but it can also switch to impact mode and deliver up to 800 inch-pounds of pulsed torque for the increased

5:19 am
>> chris: and that is exactly why rockwell took it to the home remodeling show in southern california. >> it's easy to handle. [whirring] >> cool. that has the power that you need, that's for sure. this is only 12 volts? [whirring] >> yeah, that's amazing. >> it looks like the 12-volt here is just as good as the 18-volt, if not better. >> this could replace an 18-volt very easily. [whirring] >> 'kay, i cannot do it one-handed with that ever. i always have to put my weight into it. and my wrist isn't tired even after that. >> fits my hand well, it feels like a tool that i could use, use, use and use again. [whirring] >> yeah, that's cool. >> really feel the power, but you don't feel the strain on your wrist at all. >> it's very light. >> says free batteries for life. i think it's a pretty good deal. >> free batteries for life,
5:20 am
that's a great thing. that is awesome. >> i've got three guns that go with me everywhere i go. i've got an impact, i've got a standard cordless drill and then i as well have a corded drill and all three have to come with me-- not anymore. >> it just feels very sturdy, very strong. >> that's-- i don't feel any kickback. i don't feel anything at all. [whirring] wow, that's, that's a pretty nice tool. [whirring] that's, that's way easier. it's amazing. >> you don't have to hit everything with the battery getting into here. you've got this open. >> so i can get down closer to the work. i can get into these tight angles. >> i love the 3rill. it is a thrill. [laughs] >> this is a tool i'd buy, without a doubt... and i'm a picky, picky person. >> i'll buy six of these right now-- where are they? >> sold. [♪...] >> what if you have an extremely tight space where even the 3rill
5:21 am
won't fit? well, here's another example of how rockwell delivers practical solutions to real problems. this is a right-angle attachment that comes with the 3rill kit. >> all right, well, i've got a very tight space to work with here and i've also got to get this screw into this piece of wood. like this. >> you know, this is a very common situation and if you don't get it right, it can be a job stopper. >> sorry, done already. [both laugh] >> you are done. >> yes, once again a tough job made easy with the 3rill. >> here's a nice right-angle tool, which when you get into really tight spots is very, very handy. for instance, i'm not going to be able to get a drill bit and this in here at the same time. i'm just really limited on space. but, if i were to attach this right-angle attachment to here, and then i could get in there. >> the fact that the 3rill has a clutch will save us a lot of time. it's just one tool every single time. >> if you're drilling into metal
5:22 am
and you know, you don't want that drill to bounce around or drive around all over the place, having being able to just start your hole slowly and then get the full speed you need is a big difference. i mean, it really helps to get that hole drilled accurately the first time. [♪...] >> the 3rill does all of this using rockwell's high-performance, 12-volt lithium ion battery. >> now, i bet a lot of you professionals are thinking, 12 volts, not enough power, right? >> well, you know what, to be honest, i thought that too when i first saw it, but then i used it and i know how powerful it is-- let's show them. >> all right, sounds good. here's what i'm going to do: i am going to tighten this bolt into this nut in the impact mode. [whirring, ♪...] >> that does a great job. >> yes. >> it really does. >> now, this is a common 18-volt cordless power tool. >> you know, i see that on the job site all the time. >> i'll put it in high-torque mode. i'll try and back out
5:23 am
that same bolt. >> oh! i see that on the job site all the time too. see, you know what, that's the worst, when you're trying to fight your tool to get your project done, not to mention how it's going to wear out your wrist and your arm. tell you what, why don't you use the 3rill? >> sounds like a good idea. again, impact mode and... >> good job. that's the impact power of the 3rill going to work for you. rockwell is one of the most trusted names in power tools, period. >> chris: and their growing family of versatile, powerful and functional 12-volt power tools just keeps getting better and better. all these tools share the same fast-charging batteries, so you're not just buying a 3rill, you're buying into a full, cutting-edge tool system. >> the 3rill is simply the latest and greatest in rockwell's impressive power tool arsenal. it doesn't matter whether you're working with wood, metal, tile or a combination of materials. >> if you need to drill it or drive it, the 3rill will do it better, faster and more efficiently than anything else

[beeping] that means that carmd has already checked out your vehicle and then you can just disconnect it. >> now what? >> well, with carmd's patented red, yellow and green l.e.d. lights, you know right away if you're good to go. >> i got a green light. i'm good to go. >> [laughs] that is very good. now if you'd gotten a yellow light, you'd have some potential problems you might want to check out. >> and a red? >> now, that's where carmd can really help you out by letting you know exactly what's wrong with your vehicle, what it's gonna take it to fix it and how much repairs should cost. just plug the carmd device into any computer and print out the report. >> now i can walk into any repair shop knowing what
5:35 am
actually does need to be fixed and what doesn't. and what a fair price should be so i can have peace of mind. >> and save time and money. >> one of the things that really strikes fear in my heart is having car problems and knowing i have to go and face the mechanic. now, i know that when i walk in there, it's going to be assumed that i have "stupid" stamped across my forehead. but if i have the carmd, i can run the diagnostic before i go in to the mechanic, so he can no longer charge me an exorbitant amount. i like my carmd because it makes me feel safe. >> announcer: coming up, learn how you can lower your repair bills and never overpay ever again. and then, find out how you can try carmd absolutely risk free. you'll even find out how you can get $150 in bonuses, free. >> you can't go wrong with carmd. it's the ultimate tool that everyone needs.

5:37 am
i got out my carmd. it showed that i needed a nox sensor. i found a replaceable nox sensor for $65. and compared to $2200 me spending almost $70 for the repair, what an enormous savings it was. not only did i save money, my car feels safe again. thank you, carmd. >> we all know that feeling of standing at the repair shop having no idea what they're saying and just hoping you're not overpaying by that much. >> well, that's why carmd is such a smart investment. it'll pay for itself the first time you use it and can save you thousands of dollars over the life of your car. keri, imagine never overpaying for auto repair ever again and being able to prevent major problems from ever costing you money in the first place. if you own a car, you want to save a lot of money, then carmd is just what the doctor ordered. >> announcer: save hundreds, even thoususands of dollars on r repairs and keep your car running in top condition,

[music changes] >> my car is special to me because it's a part of who i am. my car is sitting on 22-inch rims, you know, it has the nice tinted windows, the nice leather interior. when you get that check engine light, it's the worst feeling because you don't know what is it going to be. it could be a simple $5 fix or it could be a $2000 fix. you never know. so it's a bad feeling. the dealership wanted to charge me $1500 but once i found out through carmd that there was a recall for my vehicle, i took it back to the dealer. the dealership was haggling about fixing it or not, but in the end they did fix it because it was a recall. this little thing right here, it's a miracle. $1500 in my pocket. it was the best money i invested. >> so the second part of this comprehensive system is using it with your computer. >> well, that sounds
5:44 am
simple enough. >> it is. and this is the real power of carmd. easy-to-install software gives you the access to the exclusive carmd database of information and solutions and the ability to print out a report like we did here. the carmd database is updated daily from thousands of a.s.e. certified technicians, constantly providing the latest real world information on the best way to fix cars with the same year, make, model and mileage as your car. >> so i can actually speak the same language as my mechanic. >> that's true. you won't be intimidated when you take your car in for repairs, because you know what needs be done and what it should cost, even if you don't know anything about how a car works. when it's something easy, like a loose gas cap, you don't have to waste your time dropping it off for repairs. just make the simple fix, get the carmd green light and you're good to go. >> i could save a ton of time. >> and, you can save a bunch of money. >> my favorite thing about carmd is just the ease of use; how easy it is to use in the car, how easy it is to hook up to your computer, how easy the website is, just everything
5:45 am
about carmd is just a breeze. it actually told me that i had a brake sensor out before i even knew the brake sensor was gone. so my brakes could have went out or they could've locked up. without carmd, i could have a breakdown on the road and be stuck somewhere. i then used it on other vehicles, and it saved me over $3000 in the past year alone. i love carmd. it's one of the best tools on the market. >> announcer: carmd is not only great at keeping your car healthy and saving you money, but if you're buying a used car, it's a must. carmd accurately diagnoses hidden problems and keeps you from buying a lemon. >> chris: looking at all the cars out there, it's hard to tell from the outside what's going on inside. carmd's patented red, yellow and green light system makes shopping for used cars easy and fun.

[♪...] [music changes] >> my husband just got deployed to iraq. and i don't know what to do now that the man of the house is no longer home. [laughs] i had to take care of everything. when i went in for the inspection for my car, they told me that it was something else totally wrong with my car. they wanted to charge me $1200 for a repair. i couldn't afford that. sure enough, i put on the carmd and it told me that it was actually a sensor. i saved over $825 with it. [engine roaring]
5:49 am
>> i love cars, i always have, especially classic cars. [engine revs] i can understand them. when i look at the engine or even listen to it running, i can easily determine what's wrong with it and i can fix it. today's vehicles are much more complex than this. sometimes i think i need a ph.d. in computer science to help me keep my newer cars healthy. that's where carmd comes in to simplify the whole vehicle diagnostic process, so you can easily figure out what's going on with your car. >> announcer: carmd is so advanced, even professional mechanics use it to diagnose their own vehicles. >> being a mechanic, uh, carmd is easier to use than a lot of the more traditional products out on the market. i would say the carmd is a lot better than some of the $5- or $6000-plus diagnostic machines that you can buy from other companies, with the simple fact that you can plug it into your laptop or desktop and see the parts cost, the labor costs of what it's roughly gonna cost you if you were to take into a mechanic and have them fix it or, if you're mechanically
5:50 am
inclined, fix it yourself. >> as a new mom, there's nothing that scares me more than the thought of being stranded on the side of the road somewhere with my baby. >> you know what? that is really scary. without carmd, none of us know the real health of our car right now or if a breakdown is around the corner. check engine light goes on and it could be anything, a $30 part or maybe a new catalytic converter, costing thousands. >> but carmd changes all that. i just plug it in and i instantly know what problem i have and what it should cost to get it fixed. so i never get ripped off again. >> to show us how amazing carmd is, we sent john curley out to meet with people just like you whose check engine lights have come on but have no idea what's wrong with their cars or what it will cost to fix them. they're gonna see for themselves how carmd can save them time and money. >> my light keeps coming on and off. >> why don't you take it in? >> they told me they needed up-front money for them to diagnose it.
5:51 am
>> they wanna charge $100 to just plug it in and look at it. >> i'm afraid of what it might be. every time i take this thing in, it's 500 bucks at least, just to get it tested. >> it's $150 just to do the diagnosis. >> right. >> and then they have all of these problems they say it has and then they charge you an arm and a leg. >> so what if you could diagnose it yourself? >> that would be awesome. >> are you ready? >> yeah. >> all right, here we go. you are about to find out what is wrong with your car. so look at this, big green check for you, which means your engine is fine, o.k.? here's the interesting thing. 'cause there's been a recall on the seat belt latch on the front seat. and here's the beauty, you ready? cost? nothing for you. >> really? >> really. ...what carmd found for you is you have seven recalls on this car right now. and you were driving around with some brake fluid problems, the fact that you had none. >> oh my god. >> the good news is that the recalls don't cost you anything, o.k.? take them in and they would take care of them. how's it make you feel? >> hugely relieved and it's providing me with information that could literally save my life. >> to fix a temperature sensor was $133.56. >> whoo, that's great.
5:52 am
>> so when you walk in with this and this, what are you going to explain to that mechanic? what does carmd do? >> carmd, i hook it up to my car, it'll tell me exactly what's wrong it and how much it costs to fix it, so you guys can't pull the wool over my eyes. >> carmd says? $25. >> what? how can that be? >> it's $25 because there's a problem with the gas cap, o.k.? 'cause there's a recall on this car, there could be a leak in the gas tank and that could also be part of the problem as well. so what carmd has done for you is what, john? >> saved me about $1000. would have had to buy my own gas tank. i didn't know about the recall. new gas cap and then another $200 bucks to get it diagnosed. >> now i can go into my mechanic with confidence and know that they're not going to rip me off, as they have a tendency to do, especially with women. so i feel a lot more confident having this, you know, carmd. >> they've got some mysterious machine they plug in and then they know and now i know. >> john: what do you have? >> i have carmd. >> chris: that's what carmd can do for you, too. save you hundreds, maybe
