Product Review
Drilling holes and installing screws or bolts in an area too small for a conventional drill/driver can exhaust the patience of the most experienced contractor. When you get tired of using a stubby screwdriver you can either shell out the big bucks for a right angle drill or you can save your money and purchase Milwaukees right angle attachment. Milwaukee Tools, one of the most respected names in the tool industry, manufactures a 1/4-inch hex right angle attachment that is ideal for cordless drills up to and including the more powerful 18-volt models. The tools quick-change magnetic chuck accepts standard 1/4-inch hex drive accessories and the durable metal housing utilizes steel gears and ball bearing construction that gives the user a full 235-inch-pounds of torque. More than enough torque for driving screws or for drilling smaller holes. At only 2 inches wide, the tool will fit in very small and compact areas. Includes 5 bits and Milwaukees famous 5-year warranty. -- C. Dwight Barnett

Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
I'm going to have to buck the trend here and say that I could not possibly be more disappointed in this attachment. Apart from the fact that mine was broken right out of the blister pack (shaft was frozen and could only be rotated about 1/8 of a turn before locking up) everything about it is just plain annoying. The collet that holds the bits only accepts the hex type, and getting them out once fully seated is a two-handed process that involves pulling a slick metal ring out by your fingernails while simultaneously yanking on the bit. The adjustable handle is similarly annoying with its ill-conceived and time-consuming locking mechanism. Want to move it to a new position? You have to unscrew it, flip the little gear toothed thingy out so it will pivot, position it where you want it to be, fiddle with the little gear toothed thingy some more until its teeth line up with the other teeth on the handle itself, and then screw it back down into place, hoping and praying that the little gear toothed thingy doesn't slip out again while you're trying to clamp it down. Sorry, Milwaukee, my money's going to China this time around. UPDATE: I just looked at the micro-print on the collet, and this actually IS made in China!
