Hello

I've been looking quite thoroughly for a right angled chuck. I've been to my
local DIY stores such as Budget DIY, Sainsbury's Homebase, Focus and Wickes
but none has this item. I've also been looking on the internet and I haven't
seen one for sale at the places I looked.

I have seen a device which is a chuck on the end of a very thick cable
allowing the user to point the bit in any direction independently of the
drill, and if I can't get the right angled chuck I'll have to get this,
though for my purposes the right angled chuck would be better.

I live in Brighton so anywhere close to Brighton would be good, or better
still a web-site where I could buy this item would be excellent.

TIA

It was just around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs
began to take hold. I remember PJ saying
something like:

I bought one from Axminster, but their site seems to be down, atm.

I bought the above for £10 and this angle driver below for a £5 at the local
tool stall. Does the job well.

LOL IMM, considering that you reply to the trolls with all sorts of crap,
you keep a really good straight face. Well done.

began to take hold. I remember "IMM" saying

Oh yes; looks like a really high quality piece of kit, there.

Works well. You could spend 170 on a battery Makita or £110 on an angle
chuck mains drill if you want. For the occasional angle use, these are
fine.

Saw right angle mains drills (PPPro) for £49 in B&Q yesterday. Well,
they were called "angle drills", had a stubby body - maybe 4-5" - and
a longer handle at right angle so not quite the same as the
Bosch/Mak/Dewalt stuff at Screwfix and wouldn't fit between joists
quite as well, but sort of heading towards a cheap angle drill.....

Just found the pics/tech specs he

http://tinyurl.com/2qp66

Might be a better buy than a cheap chuck that unwinds itself after the
first use.

Looks good. You can also use it as a normal drill as the handle position
gives good comfort, which the normal angle drill do not. So, this is not an
expensive occassional use drill. Can't get in as tight as most true angles
drills, but would do so in most cases. And it is less than half the price
of the cheapest mains angle drill.

At 4 inches it would fit between most joists and can be used as a driver
too. About time a well priced drill like this came about.

It will be a lot more powerful than the battery angle drills around.

Come on Andy, IMM must be right. How could you try and disagree with
the fountain of knowledge? I think it's illegal to do so in some parts
of the country!

Hi John,

Not sure what you're disagreeing with. The one I saw was labelled
PPPro. I didn't investigate the guarantee but I believe PPPro is
3yrs, isn't it?


Well, they were called "angle drills",

It says "palm drill" on the handle.


Either on the box or the orange and white B&Q poster next to it, it
was called an "angle drill".

The link to the photo was from the suppliers website rather than B&Q's
own.


At 4 inches it would fit between most joists

It was maybe 4-5 inches so anyone considering it would have to confirm
for themselves whether it would fit with a short auger/ forstner/
cut-down spade bit attached.

yep.

I was in there yesterday and they don't currently have any in stock.
I'm putting some heating pipes in soon so I wanted one. Call them for
restocking times.
