Those were popular before they came out with those newfangled electric drills!

I've used them and yes, the bit would wander off the screw head and ruin your work.* As for drilling holes, they were slightly better than an ice pick and a pair of heavy pliers.

As with any tool though, you have to learn to use it properly and I suppose they are fine in the hands of someone who has used them for a while.
