 Not a substitute for a true right angle drill November 18, 2008
I give this product 3 stars mostly because at under $20 it is relatively inexpensive and it is useful for a narrow range of jobs. Otherwise, it is for light use only and is a poor substitute for a true right angle drill.
Positives:
* It is relatively inexpensive compared to other options.
* It will do in a bind if you only need to drill a few small holes.
* It is small and easy to keep on hand.
Negatives
* It is hard to control without the handle. The handle helps, but gets in the way.
* Unless you have your hand right over the head, it is awkward for driving screws as it will flop from side to side or try to spin if you do not hold it. But that tends to make it less versatile as now your hand has to be in the tight spot too. After a while, I just picked up a screwdriver.
* It feels and sounds cheaply made.
* The gearing is not designed to take a lot of torque. I would not dare try a hole saw with this.
* The chuck is not keyless.
The bottom line is that it is nowhere as useful as I expected. I will stick with a right angle drill.

This right angle drill attachment worked as advertised to enable me to drill holes in the top plate of a couple of walls. I did not notice any wobble, but it probably would not have mattered in this usage anyway.
I keep the key chucked in the unit so it doesn't get lost in my "storage".

 low quality, does not run true January 6, 2007
12 out of 12 found this review helpful
I've owned this right angle attachment for about a year and used it about ten times. It's the kind of tool I wish I had never purchased - it works, just not very well. Since it's not defective, and the cost is low, I never bothered returning it.
Pros:
- easy to use, and it seems moderately robust with it's combination of metal gears and bushings housed in a thick plastic casing.
- low cost
Cons:
- does not run true. If you put a pencil in the chuck it will trace a circle of more than 1/8". This is fine for rough work like drilling large holes through studs with a spade bit. For most anything else I find the wobble in the chuck renders it unacceptable.
- big and bulky. The large size of this item makes it only slightly more useful than a small drill, especially when you take into account the large amount of runout in the chuck.
Summary:
Most of the time when I reach for this tool, I wind up putting it back and not using it, either because chuck runout is too excessive, or the bulk is such that I can find numerous better ways to do the job using quality tools.
Construction is metal gears, metal bushings, loosely held in a thick plastic case.
Save your money and spend it on a better quality tool.

I am extremely pleased with this right-angle tool. It is well constructed and made drilling through the wall studs a breeze, all at an affordable price. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is beacuase it does not have a keyless chuck - or at least a place to store the key.
