Every flat-pack build seems to have one screw tucked inside a cupboard corner or the back of a drawer where the drill simply will not fit. The clip doing the rounds on Reddit shows a little chrome elbow that slots into the drill like a normal bit, turns the drive sideways, and drives screws in spots that would otherwise mean a stubby screwdriver and sore wrists.
What Makes It Stand Out
The closest Amazon UK match is the TIMESETL 105° right angle drill attachment. It has a standard 1/4-inch hex shank that goes into any drill or driver chuck, a magnetic 1/4-inch hex socket on the angled end that holds ordinary screwdriver bits, nut drivers and hex drill bits, and a die-cast chrome vanadium body on three ball bearings. It is only about 65 x 32mm, so it gets into cabinets, drawer runners, under worktops and car trim where a normal drill is far too long. You can also use it with a hand screwdriver handle or a manual wrench.

Real Talk
Buyers say it saves a lot of hassle on awkward jobs like fitting mud flaps, removing stairlift screws or reaching trim clips. The honest downside: it is a light-duty tool. It is rated to about 15 Nm and is not for impact drivers, and a fair number of reviewers say theirs felt wobbly, let the bit drop out, or broke after a few uses when pushed hard. Keep the drill on a low torque setting, nip screws up by hand at the end, and do not expect it to free rusted bolts. The clip also shows a flexible shaft, which is not included in this single-adapter pack.
WORTH IT IF
- You build flat-pack furniture or fit kitchen cupboards
- You keep hitting screws your drill cannot reach
- You want a small extra for the toolbox or a DIY stocking filler
SKIP IF
- You mainly use an impact driver
- You need it for heavy, high-torque or rusted fixings
- You want a pro-grade angle drill that will last for years of daily use
