Review on OCGIG Flexible Extension Screwdriver Adapter: Enhanced Versatility and Reach for Precision Tasks by Wayne Ohlrogge

Revainrating 3 out of 5

For low torque applications only

To be honest, I can be picky about tools. These attachments are (apparently) designed to attach to power tools, but don't repeat my mistake and assume that means they can handle the power. I was driving deck screws with my drill and one of them was so slanted that the drill just didn't fit, so I used those. I tried hand tightening but they were very tight and my wrist got tired pretty quickly. I first tried a flexible arm that flexed under tension and then broke apart. Okay, I thought it was urging, they're not that strong, I overdid it. Then I tried one of the angle heads and they are better but the thing is the torque is still applied so you need to be able to hold it at a weird angle as it tries to turn about like this severely wriggling out of your hand as he turns drill bits, which was quite difficult in my case. Eventually I gave up and only left this partially screwed on, but not before. The part of the screwdriver that holds the bit is cracked and chipped at one corner. Hard metal but inflexible for a bit holder to keep it from deforming. I know why they designed it that way and I don't blame them. I don't blame the devices for this, but I think they should come with some sort of disclaimer that they really are designed for low torque operation. . If you can easily screw it in by hand I would imagine it would work like a dream to give you a better angle. If you work hard to turn a screw without them, they won't make your life any easier and you'd better find a better one.

Pros
  • Dimensions: Flexible Elbow Extension: 11.6" x 1/4". 105 Degree Angle Drill: 2.16" x 1.25".
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
