DEWALTRight Angle Attachment, Flex Shaft, Drill Attachment, 12-Inch (DWARAFS)

I bought this to install an aluminum fence. The screws for each panel were behind the fence and are not easy to get to from the back. This tool worked great and allowed me to get to the screw holes when it was impossible to get a drill back there! There are cheaper alternatives out there but they're not built like the Dewalt. This thing is heavy duty!

This device is great! I can get in tight places. Handle removes to get in tighter places. Love it. Seems to be built well.

I bought this angle drill to drill out rusted screws on my GM ABS module in my Safari van... I cursed GM engineers a lot while I did the job but the angle drill was a great asset... combined with some good drill bits I got the job done. this drill is well made and the handle can be moved to which ever side you need it on which is a good thing... I was working in a tight spot where I really couldn't see the screw I was drilling so that handle was useful to see if I had the drill straight up and down and not at some strange angle ...if you need a tool like this I recommend this one.

I decided to buy this particular right angle extension over the other/cheaper units on offer because of the Dewalt name. I needed it to unscrew a control unit under my dashboard, behind my radio. I didn't want to take the whole dash apart to get at the screws so I needed a somewhat slim 90 degree or so angle device to get at them. There were cheaper units to be sure, but I figured I would probably need the flexible shaft for this job too. Indeed I did. This worked very well for me. I did not stress it with the work I did, so I am not sure how many RPMs it will take before it fails, but it appears to be a sturdy piece of kit that will last for quite some time if not abused. The magnet in the head for keeping the screws aligned was not that strong however. I did drop each one of the three screws at least twice. That would be my only suggestion for improvement.

Perfect for what i needed. The only tool that would help me replace a motor for switching ac and heat to upper or lower difusers.

Compact, solid, and easy to hold. I don't see myself using the little handle, but ya never know. It's easy enough to hold the head and do what ya need. It came in handy day one to drive a screw inside the world's most narrow cabinet. It sunk it with ease, no funny noises, and I barely had to hold the head from the impact torque. This tool is coming out to every job with me!!

I am taking a break and using this to reach way back, drill a small pilot hole, then screw in the L brackets for our new sliding shelving units I am installing. For alignment purposes (soft close, either you are dead on, or they don't catch) I must leave the shelve attached to the L brackets and slider units and only have 8" top clearance & must be able to reach back 22" while laying on the floor. Considering the size of this units angle rotation head, best to keep it to small screws and drill bits. You cannot use this for heavy construction needs or large or long screws. The head is magnetic and has a catch latch that must be pulled back to release the bits. Also, the catch latch has a strong magnet providing hands free screw retention. I have bent the spline into an 1/2 circle getting into tight spots and spline is still working fine. The only two spinning parts is the head where the bit goes and the back that slips into a hex driver, saving those embarrassing tool marks often left by chuck mishaps. It comes with a small handle that threads onto either side of the angle head. The handle is hollow and has a removable cap and holds several small bits. Instead of killing myself and using a stubby and muscling in the screws after using an awl, this has made the install clean and easy. I would recommend no more than a #8 or #10 x 3/4 to an 1" max as the head is too slender to contain beefy gears.

The media could not be loaded. Tool is well built, solid construction. Handle is a bit flimsy feeling, but to be honest the handle doesn't need to be hefty on this tool. The thoughtfulness put into designing this tool is incredible though.1. Handle is also a bit holder, holds a couple short bits inside of it. Easy access.2. The bits lock into the tool very firmly, so they don't fall out-ever.3. The release collar for the bits is also a strong magnet, which serves a couple functions:a. Holds bits in the end when you pull the release collar. Since the bits are gently ejected, it prevents them from falling out when the collar is pulled.b. Holds screws on the bit, see the video I attached. The magnet has a slight rear spring force, so it keeps the screw lined up with whatever bit you have in the tool. Just put the screw on the end of the bit, lift the collar up to stick it to the screw and voila; hands free screw insertion.Very impressed with this tool!
