What is Copilot? 

Copilot is a drilling alignment device, designed to help align cordless drills for accurate and effortless alignment in any application. Using an array of LEDs, Copilot senses the orientation of the drill, and guides the operator to any desired orientation. The array is highly intuitive and after only a few seconds of use, the operator does not look directly at the array, but can focus on the job at hand. This improves safety and the quality of the work. The seamless movement of the LED array is easily processed in peripheral vision and becomes a 6th sense for perfect, effortless drilling alignment. 

How does it work?

The Copilot learning curve is fascinating. With only a single line of instruction, operators learn the physical-visual connection within seconds of holding the drill. Simply 'follow the green'. The green portion of the LED array points you towards alignment. 'All green' means you're within the alignment tolerance. The other instructions on how to change accuracy, brightness, to set a new orientation and turn the Copilot on and off are labelled on the decal.
