I'm interested in getting an angle drill attachment for occasional use (light work). Anyone have any experience with these? Are they reliable? I dont want to damage my Makita drill (or get hurt, etc). I'm looking at this one:

Have unhappilly used similar items enough to eventually go out and buy a proper right angle driver. I don't think that there is any risk to your drill as the torque reduction is substantial enough that the attachment itself will crumble first.
Do however; stay away from the "flexible" multi-angle attachments, apearently they can take your fingers off or give you a real good pinch!

Thx for the feedback. Think I'll pass on the attachment.
