Product Information

Full details

This AB Tools Right Angle Drill Attachment is designed for professionals like kitchen fitters, joiners, and construction workers who need to drill in tight, awkward spaces such as between joists or roof beams. Its key benefit is converting any standard drill into a right-angle drill, enabling access to confined areas. A potential caveat is the requirement for 4.5" (115mm) of clearance, plus the length of the drill bit, which may limit its use in extremely confined spaces. Key features include a durable all-metal casing, metal gears, and a heat-treated steel shank for robust performance, compatibility with most air, electric, and cordless drills, and a reversible 1:1 ratio for versatile operation.

Troubleshooting

Drill bit is not spinning.

Ensure the drill is powered on and set to the correct rotation direction. Check that the drill bit is securely tightened in the 3/8" chuck of the attachment and that the attachment's shank is firmly gripped by the drill's chuck.

Attachment feels loose or wobbly.

Re-tighten the drill's chuck around the attachment's steel shank. Ensure the drill bit is also securely tightened within the attachment's chuck.

Reduced drilling power.

Verify that the attachment is fully compatible with your drill. Ensure there are no obstructions or blockages within the attachment's gears. Check that your drill has sufficient power for the task.

Difficulty reaching the target area.

Ensure you have the required 4.5" (115mm) clearance plus the length of your drill bit. Consider using a shorter or specialized drill bit if possible.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To set up the attachment, simply insert the steel shank into your drill's chuck. Tighten the chuck securely around the shank, ensuring it is centered and firmly gripped. Select your desired drill bit and insert it into the 3/8" chuck on the attachment. Tighten the chuck on the attachment using the provided key. Ensure the drill is set to the correct direction (forward or reverse) for your drilling task.

Compatibility: This attachment is designed to fit virtually any drill with a standard 3/8" or 1/2" chuck, including air, electric, and cordless models. It requires a minimum of 4.5" (115mm) of clearance around the point of drilling, in addition to the length of the drill bit being used.

Care: After each use, clean any dust or debris from the casing and gears. For the metal components, a light application of lubricant may help maintain smooth operation. Store the attachment in a dry place to prevent corrosion. Periodically check the chuck for tightness and ensure the steel shank is free from damage.
