The right angle flange is especially problematic because it is not attached to the offset head by any means other than friction. The right angle head is a finely designed and machined tool, whereas this tool doesn't have that refinement. I'm glad that I have the off-set head, because it is certainly useful at times, but I do wish that Milwaukee would upgrade the unit so that the thumb flange wasn't a hassle. I suppose that if you used the tool enough, you'd get used to handling it just right, to minimize that issue, but for me, it's enough to cause me to always reach for the Milwaukee right angle tool first. I like this tool a great deal, but it only gets used when I can't use its bigger brother, the Milwaukee 49-22-8510 Right Angle Drill Attachment KitThe offset head is significantly cheaper than the Milwaukee right angle head and it really shows. So, you have to fool around with it a lot, having it fall off when you pick up the tool or simply fall down onto the drill or screwdriver chuck. If/when they do that, I'll buy another. It always seems to fall off at the most inconvenient times and then magically find its way under the biggest pile of the heaviest material in the area.
Very useful with lots of torque. Very glad my spa repairman introduced this product to me.
Item arrived earlier than expected and in new condition. Perfect for removing/installing dash and rear deck car speakers. Seems to be well made.
This is a dandy little adapter that helps you screw in tight places. Fine for small wood screws though. Really helpful, and nothing else like it on the market. Remember folks, that this is only for a small electric screwdriver - doing heavy duty work will probably cause it to fail.
I usually trust Milwaukee for tools that can take a licking and keep on ticking, but this definitely isn't one of them. Lots of re-directed torque-you can imagine the stress on the gears. Without the packaging they have to go back to the manufacturer, which is a p.i.t.a. I have found that Home Depot will take these back for exchange when give out, if you save the packaging and tell them the tool is defective (which is no lie). This must be a really tough tool to engineer for indestructability. The tool doesn't last for more than a couple of stressful applications before the gears strip. and takes time. Nobody else makes anything that can get in and out of tighter spots though, and it has become a necessary part of my tool box.
