Right Angle Drill Attachments
Has anybody used the after market kits that make your regular high torque D-handle drill into a right angle drill? You change the chuck out and add them on, Milwaukee, Dewalt, Makita and Hitachi all have them and I'm looking at one for my Hitachi, I'm just aware of the mental amount of torque the thing puts out and worried it would break itself apart under a heavy load as I cant get an idea of how sturdy they are without feeling them for real.

Things must have changed! Milwaukee used to build a 230 volt product line for export. Line frequency has no effect on the speed of a universal motor.

I have one, it works in a pinch when I don't have my right angle drill with me. It is the cheap kind that uses the drill chuck to attach to.
Wouldn't last if that's all you used.

See if the Milwaukee 2662 is available in your area.
This is a cordless impact driver, designed to power the large 'selfeed' wood boring bits. Fits between studs, and no torque felt at the handle.
