Cordless drill having rotating magazine for bits

A cordless drill having rotating magazine for bits comprising:

• a drill body, a drill chuck, an electric motor, a trigger switch, a magazine, a mechanical drive bypass, and a battery pack;
• wherein a linear actuator within the magazine deploys a first bit selected from a set of bits stored within the magazine by pushing the first bit forward into the drill chuck;
• wherein the first bit is rotated by the electric motor in order to drill a hole;
• wherein the mechanical drive bypass transfers the rotational motion of the electric motor around the magazine to the drill chuck;
• wherein the linear actuator retracts the first bit, the magazine is rotated, and a second bit is deployed;
• wherein the magazine is a rotating cylinder comprising a plurality of bit chambers for storing the set of bits;
• wherein the individual bit chamber is a hollow cylindrical cavity that is oriented to be parallel to a spindle;
• wherein a front of the individual bit chamber is open such that an individual bit slides into and out of the individual bit chamber via the front of the individual bit chamber;
• wherein each of the individual bit chambers comprise the linear actuators;
• wherein the linear actuators are operable to move the individual bits forward and rearward.
