The main downside of most right-angle drill attachments is that they take up a lot of space in your toolbox when they’re not in use.

This DeWalt Right Angle Drill Adapter is listed as Amazon’s Choice, and for good reason. It’s well-reviewed, a great price, and works with just about any drill. Plus, the manufacturer claims that this adapter has 2 times longer life than the competition.
