Definitely for field work but also in places where it's not feasible / convenient to have a second drill with you, like up a ladder or in a confined area.

Is the drill bit replaceable or you can only use #8?

Neat product, will think about picking it up, but for now, I've just been using two drill drivers and an old driver with a countersink.
but of course I work on a bench and not carrying them around

According to Bob Villa, #8 is the most common size screw. :-P

A confined space is a place with limited ingress and egress points like inside of a tank or pressure vessel, not a cramped spot in an engine bay or something.

Thanks for pointing out the countersink feature. I'm tired of using two drills and still switching one out with a countersink bit.

Lmao, who is woodworking in a pressure vessel? A confined place, like a hall closet, is nicer to work in with smaller tools, like an impact driver.

It seems like this is only for #8 screws, so I'm guessing if you are using #8 alot, this would be the only good reason to have this? Come on guys, I'm trying to find a reason to buy this!

It's correct nomenclature. If you're working in a hall closet don't worry about being able to drill and drive a few seconds faster.
