Cordless impact driver and angled bit holder

[dom]

I bought one of these ages ago to pad out a Screwfix order to free postage:

very low expectations of it, in fact had left it laying in a tool box for a year or so.

Today I used it with a cordless impact driver, expecting it to be a smack-your-fingers swine to control, if it worked at all.

It actually worked brilliantly, driving a 6 * 80mm turbogold into hardwood (in hammer mode) - with virtually no torque reaction coming back through the sleeve.

I have had one of those for over 5 years. The cheapest I saw was in Maplin. The driver bit has to be right in the screw and it works fine. I have never used it with an Impact driver though.

Try it. Let's find out how long it lasts.

Probably not long. But if it deals with 1 in a 100 screws that have to go in/come out of dark corners - it's worthwhile.

Same as mine! I'll dig it out now you've posted that.

I use those 6 x 90 turbogold coach screws loads - brilliant things.

Mine lasted 30 seconds. I took it out the bag and played with it a bit and it fell apart. The replacement hasn't fallen apart yet, but its been two days.
