The aircraft style Right Angle Power Drill Attachment allows work to be done in areas with only 2" of clearance. The tool is capable of drilling up to 1/4" diameter holes and compatible with all standard power drills. Utilization of a molded cavity insures a consistent fit for the precision-made internal components, which include: steel machined internally threaded (1/4-28 UNF-2B) beveled miter gears, hardened thrust block and driveshaft, and oil-impregnated bearings. The housing which hinges open for easy periodic lubrication is sleeved by a non-slip knurled aluminum grip, that is black anodized for appearance. In addition to TightFit® drill bits, the Right Angle Power Drill Attachment allows close-quarter use of many other threaded tools.
Note: Required threaded TightFit® drill bits can be purchased separately by going to our website www.TightFitTools.com and then going to the drill bits section.
more junk you can't fix
Instead look at Vermont American 17172 Dual Speed angle drive kit About $30 at Ace. This isn't listed on most search engines. Even with this one, open it up right away and check for lots of grease in the gears & oil in the bushings.
After 5 or 6 holes open it up and see if you need a shim washer tween the first bushing and the gear,both sides. Might want to add oil& grease holes to the housing. Good preventive maintance will extend the life of ANY tool cheap-o or not. Note: I keep my chuck key on my key chain, haven't lost it yet. :-) I've never seen a warrenty I couldn't void.

Some difficulties
I purchased this drill this past September. I used it for 2 days with a first bit to drill about 10 holes. Then I changed to another bit and hand-tightened it, but while doing so, the drill bit fell out of the casing. When I tried to back out the casing by hand I could not because it had frozen in its seating ... and the shaft you attach to the drill no longer turns the casing adapter. While it is under warranty, I must pay shipping costs and be without it use for several weeks.

Better experience than others
While I have only used it for a few weeks, I would have to say mine has not given me any trouble at all, yet. It doesn't have the feel of a tool that will last forever, but I think I will at least get my money's worth. Watch the RPM limitation (2500) and make sure you support the attachment firmly with one hand; it's easy to let things get out of alignment and break off a bit if you're drilling metal (guess how I know about that).
