Right angle drill attachments
Has anyone used a right angle drill attachments? Are they any good?
The ones I'm thinking of are like this:
RIGHT ANGLE DRILL ATTACHMENT
This one is the easiest to find. It has a plastic body but metal gears.
Or there's this one:
ALUMINIUM RIGHT ANGLE DRILL ATTACHMENT | eBay
This looks a little sturdier then the first.
They both need about 120mm clearance for the attachment itself plus the drill bit.
Thanks,
Ben

I have owned the second one for more than 15 years, got it from Harbor Freight on one of my trips to the US.
Don't use it very often but when I do I am grateful I hve one.
Works well and has lasted this long.
Don't know the first one, but doesn't look as sturdy as mine.

have tried these http://www.justtools.com.au/prod363.htm and worked well till it was knocked off along wth the drill
this is what i currently use and am very happy with it Milwaukee Right Angle Drill Attachment has done quite a bit of work and is on its second drll.
pretty sure I paid around $60-80 from a trade tool storeSome people are like slinkies - not really good for anything, but they
bring a smile to your face when pushed down the stairs .

I have the Sontax unit. It's definitely useful, but the quality matches the price. A sturdy feeling device, but it has terrible runout. Good if you want a hole in a tricky location at a spot, but fiddly if you want it at a very precise spot.

Is this to be used at home or on site.
Do you have a 8cfm compressor.
Looking at the room you require just for the drill you maybe better off with a small pneumatic drill,if it was feasable

It' only for occasional home use. Hence I can't justify buying a dedicated right-angle drill.
The milwaukee one looks good but is a bit too exxy for my budget.

I bought a right angle air drill and used it a few times. It was on sale for about $30 or $40, sometimes less, and works well. They go on sale here at least once a season and you must have similar down there.
Along these lines:

I bought one a couple of weeks ago from Aldi, (where all good woodies shop). Cheap and ......cheap.
Might still have some if you want it for occasional use.

The just tools one... got one, recon its crap. Milwaukee Right Angle Drill Attachment... got one. It gets used about once a fortnite, definetely worth the cost. The one in the CheaperOz.com look identical to mine. You can get drill bits with a hex on one end, however have to be careful when using as they arent one piece. I managed to detach the bit from the hex on one of them. Am looking around for ones that have a hex machined to one end. Also have a Makita right angled power drill. Doesnt get a lotta use, but every time I need to use it I'm really glad I bought it. No it didnt come cheaply, but being a corded unit it should last me a long time.

I will never be the person who has everything, not when someone keeps inventing so much cool new stuff to buy.
From an early age my father taught me to wear welding gloves . "Its not to protect your hands son, its to put out the fire when u set yourself alight".

Thanks for the tips so far fellas.
The Milwaukee unit looks like a goer at this stage.

I bought a metal one, no name, to use for assembling kitchen cupboards. It worked OK, but got very hot in use. No wonder - there was no lubricant of any kind in it. Pulled apart and greased, it now runs cool. The gears survived.
