Milwaukee makes a heavy duty version, part number 48-06-2871,
and a lighter duty version 49-22-8510. Any other right angle
drives/gearing that will support the power of a Bosch/DeWalt
18V cordless drill?

Define "support"? *

Being able to handle the power of the drill. Being able to handle
the torque that the drill is able to output. Having the same
torque handling capacity and durability as the other parts in the
specified tools.

If your drill motor has a chuck, it will be supported.

Is it sturdy and beefy and something you would expect to last a few years on
a jobsite? *Mine doesn't feel that solid, but for what it is it works great.

It all depends on what you want to do with the drill. Small holes,
sure, spade bits, maybe, driving 3" holesaws, probably not. I solved
the problem of needing a right-angle drive by getting a pneumatic
right-angle drill. Not cordless but WILL run off the CO2 tank.
Very compact and all the power I need. I don't run it day in and day
out, though. YMMV
