I needed to install a bunch of mailboxes at the warehouse we’re building, but both my impact and screwdriver were too tall to fit in the mailbox.
So, I grabbed this Milwaukee right angle adapter.
I already had a one-foot extension so with the adapter I had 16” of reach.
Both the right angle adaptor and the bit I bought are magnetic.
I didn’t feel like running back to the store so I used the screws I had that were for metal- you can see that they work fine in wood.
Even though the screws were self-tapping I pre-drilled the mailboxes at the location I needed to mount the boxes in order to make it easier when I was reaching back in.
I built this support yesterday using 6×6 pressure treated posts and vinyl sleeves, then put a piece of 1×10 PVC on top.
This right-angle adapter worked really well, and with my extension I had plenty of reach.
My old adapter tended to twist a lot from the torque of the drill, so I liked that this one didn’t do that. @hausplans
