MilwaukeeELECTRIC TOOL 49-22-8510 Milwaukee Kit Right Angle Attachment, 9.5" x 1.75" x 6"

Strong part yet small to not take up a lot of space in the toolbox. All metal construction. Trusted name. Adjustable lever helps to put force on the bit at the right place.

This is my third one, the other 2 were stolen. As a general contractor, this tool has saved the day on many an occasion. I own angle drills and drivers, but somehow this adapter has earned its special place among my must have accessories. Nearly indestructable!

I like this right-angle attachment a lot, especially the sturdy metal construction and the small size. I use it with my cordless drill when there's not enough space to fit the drill + bit, then I come in from the side with this right-angle attachment. My Bosch 12-volt drill is rated at 265 inch-pounds of torque, and the Milwaukee attachment is rated at 235 inch-pounds, so they are pretty well matched. The product info sheet lists a few other limitations:- drives screws up to #8 x 3"- flat boring bits up to 1" dia [spade bits]- twist drills up to 1/8" [in my opinion, it will easily handle bigger drill bits - after all, they say it can handle a 1" spade bit!]- 1750 rpm max- not for impact drivers or corded power toolsThe chuck collar has to be pulled forward (outward) both to insert and remove hex bits. With my usual hex bit holder, I can push hex bits into the chuck without pulling the collar forward, but not with this chuck. Therefore you always need two hands at the chuck, inserting and removing bits, a minor inconvenience.If you are really tight on space, you can use the very short hex bits, the ones that are about 1" long. The total required space for the attachment + bit is then about 2-3/8", not including any extra space that the drill might need. The interior of the chuck is strongly magnetic, but only once the bit is fully inserted. When using the very short bits, there's very little of the bit sticking out of the chuck to grab on to. To break the considerable magnetic force, you might need to use pliers to grab short bits, but regular bits are easy to pull out by hand (once you pull out the chuck collar). The overall length of the attachment is 6-3/16", including the full length of the drive shaft.I have used this right-angle attachment to drill holes for electrical wires, using a 5/8" Irwin Speedbor, the kind with the lead screw and three spiral flutes. These drill bits need a lot of torque, and 5/8" is the biggest Speedbor that I can use with my cordless drill without overtaxing the drill. The Milwaukee right-angle attachment handled the torque just fine, although I was extra careful not to let the Speedbor bit bind in the hole, which can cause kickback and extra strain.Note that the attachment's drive shaft has two different diameters: The very end has a 1/4" hex shank, but farther up the shaft, it expands to 5/16" hex, which they say you can use for higher torque applications.The red handle is quite adjustable. By unscrewing the handle a few turns, you can pivot the handle from 0 to 90 degrees from the body of the attachment (in four steps), then tighten the handle to lock it in place. But you can also rotate the metal collar that the handle attaches to, so the handle can stick out of either side of the attachment body, or the top or bottom (there are 12 detents as you rotate the collar all the way around the attachment body). To rotate the collar, loosen the red handle, tilt it all the way towards the chuck end (past 90 degrees, which unlocks the rotating collar), then twist the handle/collar assembly around the body of the attachment. Once you tilt the handle back, it locks the collar, then you tighten the handle itself.One other unobvious feature: There is a small hole in the body of the attachment, at the chuck end, that the instructions say is a lubrication port, for light oil or lithium grease. It's not clear how to use this port, because there is no fitting, just a small hole.The product package says the attachment is made in Taiwan.Although it's pricey, the Milwaukee right-angle attachment is very well made. Overall, I like it a lot, and would recommend it.

It's a good product.The texture is nice.It looks good and is easy to use.

YOU NEED THIS!!!

This is one of those tools that the first time you use it, you'll wonder why it never occurred to you to buy one years earlier. And to people wondering why this model costs twice as much as many other right angle drill attachments: All the extra money went into the components and design. It's all metal construction and very high quality. I've driven several hundred #9x3" screws on my first project with it; there's still almost no gear backlash or deformation in the quick release drive socket (bits don't get stuck). Milwaukee is to be congratulated for deciding there's a market for a tool of this quality.It excels at drilling and does journeyman duty at driving, especially with Torx-style screws which don't require as much down pressure. But in very tight quarters the handle often must be retracted to parallel with the drive shaft, exposing the locking teeth on the body at the handle fulcrum. Even though the entire handle assembly can be rotated left/right 90 degrees, the exposed locking teeth end up somewhere against your hand, making it [painfully] difficult to keep a firm grip, especially when driving Phillips-head screws that need extra down-pressure. Gloves help. A design tweak would be better. The flange on the quick release mechanism could be a bit bigger too (or knurled/ribbed like the back of the handle) -- it can be difficult to grip and pull, especially if wearing gloves. Of course the other side of that observation is it might increase the depth of the tool, so I can't fault Milwaukee for the choice they made -- I bought the tool explicitly for use in tight conditions. I initially thought the drive shaft was longer than necessary, but when you need to drive a hole in the middle of a 2x6 or wider, you'll find it's a perfect length. Overall I really like this tool, and recommend it. Except for the grip issues, it deserves 5 stars; I'd give it 4.7 if I could.I've been using mine with a 3/8" Bosch 18v Lith-ion drill with lots of torque. They seem well-matched in performance, though the Bosch claims 400 in-lb of torque vs 235 for the Milwaukee. That said, I think this product was designed for cordless drills, and buyers need to keep that in mind. Using it to drive lag bolts with a corded 3/8- or 1/2-inch drill will probably be a disappointment. There are inherent design limits to what an engineer can create with a $50 budget.To the reviewer who commented that the handle fell off: The position of the handle along two axes is adjusted by loosening the threaded handle, rotating the handle, and then re-tightening. The last step is pretty critical.

When the angle of the project doesn’t allow the drill to be in place like it needs to be this accessory does the trick. Pleased with the quality
