I have one of those also, and it has been very handy. But the fixed
angle of the one I used makes it easier to keep some pressure on the
bit. For this application, that made it the more convenient choice, at
least for me.


That's one of the beauties of square drive screws. One doesn't _have_
to keep much pressure on the bit.


Not much, true, but you do have to keep the bit in the screw head. I
think that's easier to do by pushing on the "butt" end of the adapter,
rather than gripping the narrow cylinder of the flex shaft. Easier to
keep it lined up properly too.
