Milwaukee 49-22-8510 Right Angle Drill Attachment Kit

 (65 customer reviews)

This is one handy tool to have in your tool arsenal . You never know when you need to get into a tight space. It sure beats using a stubby screwdriver or a 1/4" socket wrench. This is a very well built attachment. I own the Milwaukee off-set screwdriver power head (48-32-2100) that is a little smaller and now the heavy duty right angle attachment (49-22-8510). Both are outstanding tools and perform better then stated.

The heavy duty right angle attachment is rated for 235 in. of torque. This is almost full torque on a Milwaukee 3/8" drive, 12V cordless drill and half torque on the Milwaukee 1/2" drive, 18V cordless drill when using low speed on the drills. One needs to remember that these drill attachments are 1/4" hex drives. If you are looking for serious torque, look into purchasing a 3/8" or 1/2" right angle drill.

This tool is one of those that you pick up and say to yourself, "Pretty neat. Nicely made. But how useful is it, really?"

At that moment, you will take this tool out, dust it off, and say, "My, I hope this works!"

It's a Milwaukee, so it works, after you figure out how to adjust its handle and hold it. Most folks also have to figure out how to hold their mouth as they operate its chuck (which is easy, but different). After the job is done, you realize that this attachment just saved your bacon.

This is one tool for which it is important to read the instructions (very short). The instruction sheet gives the following specs and warnings: The chuck takes 1/4 inch quick-release hex shanks: "twist bits to 1/8 inch diameter, flat boring bits to 1 inch...Read more

I've had this for about a year now and it's just great. Built much better than any other brand I've seen. It keeps you from having to lug around another drill for most tasks like drilling, counter sinking, and driving screws in tight places like cabinets and drawers.

To clear up any confusion, the bit holder IS BOTH magnetic and locking. Just pull forward on the brass colored collar (see picture) and insert the bit. If you don't, the bit won't fully seat and will fall out.
