Review on 🔧 Enhance Versatility with Milwaukee 49 22 8510 Right Angle Attachment by Chad Carter

This is one of those tools that the first time you use it, you'll wonder why you never bought it a year ago. And for those people wondering why this model costs twice as much as many other angle drills, all the extra money went into components and design. The entire structure is made of metal and is of very high quality. I ran several hundred #9x3" screws with it on my first project; so far there is almost no gear backlash or distortion in the driver's quick release socket (bits don't bind). Congratulations to Milwaukee for deciding there is a market for The tool is of this quality, it drills and screws superbly, especially on torx screws that don't require much clamping force, but very tight spots often require retracting the handle to be parallel to the driveshaft and the locking teeth on the body at the pivot point of the handle Although the entire handle assembly can be rotated 90 degrees left/right, the exposed locking teeth end up somewhere on your hand, making it [painfully] difficult to maintain a firm grip, especially when driving screws that require extra pressure on the clamp is required.Gloves will help.Design customization would be better.Flansc h on the quick release mechanism could also be a bit larger (or knurled/ribbed like on the back of the handle) - It can be difficult to grab and pull, especially with gloves on. The other side of this observation, of course, is that it can increase the depth of the tool, so I can't blame Milwaukee for their choice - I bought the tool specifically for use in tight spaces. At first I thought the driveshaft was longer than necessary, but if you need to drill a hole in the center of a 2x6 or wider you'll find that this is the perfect length. Overall, I really like this product and would recommend it. Clutch issues aside, it deserves 5 stars; If I could I would give it 4.7. I've used mine with a 3/8" Bosch 18v high-torque lithium-ion drill bit. They seem to be well matched in performance, although Bosch claims 400 inches per pound. of torque vs. 235 for Milwaukee. However, I think this product was designed for cordless drills and buyers should be aware that will likely be frustrating.There are inherent design limits to what an engineer on a $50 budget can create.To the reviewer who commented that the handle fell off: handle and then tighten again.The last step is quite important.
