Thread: Any views on right-angle druill attachments?

The plastic job in the Timbecon catalogue can be bought for far lesss $ at Bunnings. I'd go for the metal one from Carbatec unless I was using it a lot and then I would go for a dedicated Makita right angle drill for just over $300.

I have/had an Atlas Copco one, all metal with a 1/4" hex socket do you could stick anything you wanted in there.

Was only about $30, but it was a while ago.

Great little unit, and worth hunting down.

Or for about $40 you could buy a whole GMC 240v right angle drill

There is also the "Orbiter".
Probably not as compact as some of the other options, but it allows you to drill at just about any angle (as well as right angles of course).

Go for the all metal one - mine from Bunnings did have metal gears [hooray] which I regreased as they were severely lacking when purchased - however the casing was plastic and where the chuck exited the plastic there is now a hole large enough for a chuck and a half. :mad::mad: Has had very little use but did get quite hot when used in a confined area.

Go for an all metal one.

don't know how much work or how tight the space you want to drill is but here is the ultimate answer
