Right Angle Drill Attachment

[Sawdust]

I had a cheapy from HF a few years ago broke while using it in my cordless impact. It was always bulky with the three jaw chuck. I’m installing a few shelves in my shop where the vaulted ceiling meets the walls. I have to drill down in the corner into the framing.

Amazon had this Dewalt and a Milwaukee. The Dewalt was smaller and had a lot more good reviews. The Milwaukee had reviews stating it was kind of bulky. This Dewalt is only 6” long with a thickness of an 1”. I’ll do a follow up later this week.

That little bit of length on that one probably helps a person aim the bit for whatever is going to be driven, and keep it stable while running it in. I got a crappy little one from Temu which isn't quite 90*. It works but kind of hard to keep it pointed the right direction. Used it quite a bit but I like the looks of that Dewalt much more.

This thing worked really good. I had to drill four holes and drive the 2 1/2” screws with no problems.

Got the same exact one..
That "Project Farm" guy on U-tube put a bunch of them through a test and believe that one came out on top..

If you want to see a vintage one that doesn't fit in tight spots, I have it! It's stronger than my drills!

That vintage one looks like a beast! Back when drills were much bigger than today it was probably a lifesaver!

I use to have on of them bulky ones around. Had a side handle that screwed on and believe it could be sued as a speed reduce/increaser too. Haven't seen in a long time so don't even know if I still have it.

This old one has no hole for handle, but the ribs above the chuck let's your fingers get a very secure grip on it.

That looks like something from the 50's

I'm sure it's at least that old.
