The best right angle drill attachments, compared.
Top pick: FEITONGFX 5 piece Best value: ColumPRO 105 degree – Best value for a few light screws: about £6.99, 4.0 from 360 ratings, 105 degrees, 1/4 inch hex and a stated 10 Nm, and not for an impact driver. Updated October 2026.
A right angle drill attachment turns a drill or impact driver through about 90 degrees, or a stated 105 degrees, so you can drive a screw or start a hole where the tool body will not fit. UK buyers use one inside carcasses, between joists and in an engine bay. Quality sits in the gearcase and the interface. A metal 90-degree head the maker calls impact-rated is a different object from a 105-degree holder, or from a mixed kit with a flexible shaft and a hand-only bar. A suitable one shows its angle, shank, impact statement, head depth and box contents. A 1/4 inch hex suits an impact driver or a quick-change holder. An 8 mm hex with a keyless chuck is for round twist bits. You brace the housing with a side handle or your other hand. A magnet keeps the screw. It does not stop the head spinning. Read the bullets before a torque cell that describes a whole drill. Those checks are in the [right angle drill attachment buying guide](/hub/drilling-and-accessories/right-angle-drill-attachment/sub/right-angle-drill-attachment-buying-guide).

Question 1 of 2
What does the gap need?
The FEITONGFX set is five pieces at £9.99: a long extension, a short extension, an L-socket, a 300 mm flexible hose and 10 bits. The amazon.co.uk rating is 5.0 from three reviews. That average cannot outrank 4.7 from 21,560 or 4.8 from 5,281. The bullets do not state an impact rating, and they describe light drilling and screwdriving on most standard drills. A secure-locking claim sits in the bullets, with no torque figure and no large UK sample behind it. The L-socket and the hose are different tools in one box, the same mixed-kit problem as the cheaper QHSXMQ set. It is only a speculative spare if you already accept a three-review file. Leave it if you are choosing the top pick or the best value from this comparison.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You already accept a three-review file and you want a spare mixed set.
Less suitable: You are choosing from review volume, or you need an impact-rated head.
Specifications
Common questions
What angle and drive does the listing state?
The angle used here is 90 deg plus hose. The drive is Drill chuck, and the output is Adaptor and hose. Head depth is not published.
Does the listing say it is impact-rated?
The bullets do not state an impact rating. The host tools named are Standard drills. Do not take an impact rating from the title alone.
What is in the box, and which torque figure should you use?
In the box: Hose, socket, bits. Bit holding is Locking claim. No torque is stated, and the 5.0 average is from three amazon.co.uk ratings.
Across 5,281 amazon.co.uk ratings the Milwaukee 4932471274 holds 4.8 at £14.95, the highest score in this set, so it is the top pick. The bullets state a true 90-degree head, 36 mm high, impact-rated for 18 V impact drivers and drill drivers, and the box adds ten bits (PH2, PZ1/2/3, TX10/15/20/25/30). That pack is a different object from a £6.99 offset holder. One reviewer would not use it for a large 4 inch screw, so bit length and screw size still matter. The specification table prints 200 Nm; that cell is not the product, and the bullets do not state a torque. There is no side handle, so your other hand braces the housing. It is the compact impact set when the gap is about 36 mm and you want bits in the box. Leave it if you need round twist bits in a chuck, or a flexible shaft around a pipe.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a compact 90-degree impact set, with bits, for a gap around 36 mm.
Less suitable: You need round twist bits in a chuck, or a flexible shaft around a pipe.

Common questions
What angle and drive does the listing state?
The angle used here is 90 degrees. The drive is 1/4 inch hex, and the output is 1/4 inch hex. The head depth used here is 36 mm.
Does the listing say it is impact-rated?
The bullets do state that this head is for impact use. The host tools named are 18 V impact driver. Do not take an impact rating from the title alone.
What is in the box, and which torque figure should you use?
In the box: Head plus 10 bits. Bit holding is 10 bits included. The specification table prints 200 Nm. The bullets do not state that torque, so it is not used here.
Across 21,560 amazon.co.uk ratings, the DeWalt DWARA120 holds 4.7 at £24.99, the largest review file in this set. The bullets call it engineered for impact drivers, with a magnet to keep the fastener and a head 1.5 inches from front to back. UK reviews praise that compact size for corners and cabinets. The same reviews say small bits are hard to pull out with your fingers once they sit in the holder. The box is one adapter, so you bring your own 1/4 inch hex bits, and the listing table’s 300 inch-pounds must not be read as 300 Nm. You still brace the housing, because the magnet holds the screw and does not stop the head spinning. It is the compact impact head when you want the longest UK rating history. Leave it if you need a keyless chuck for round twist bits.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a compact impact-rated head and the longest amazon.co.uk rating file in this set.
Less suitable: You need a keyless chuck for round twist bits, or 25 mm bits keep sitting too deep.

Common questions
What angle and drive does the listing state?
The angle used here is 90 degrees. The drive is Drill chuck, and the output is Bit holder. The head depth used here is 1.5 in.
Does the listing say it is impact-rated?
The bullets do state that this head is for impact use. The host tools named are Impact driver. Do not take an impact rating from the title alone.
What is in the box, and which torque figure should you use?
In the box: Head only. Bit holding is Magnet. The listing table prints 300 inch-pounds. That figure is not 300 Nm.
The HSEAMALL adapter is the other 90-degree keyless chuck in this set: 0.8–10 mm, an 8 mm hex shank, and 25 Nm in the bullets, at £16.99. Across 28 amazon.co.uk ratings it averages 4.6, a thin sample next to the DODUOS file of 432 ratings at 4.1. The chuck is plastic and turned by hand. Impact use is not stated, and the host line is cordless drills, electric drills and manual drills. A 4.6 from 28 ratings does not outrank a larger file on its own. Treat the plastic chuck as a wear point, the same class of tool as the DODUOS, not as a compact impact head. It is a possible round-bit adapter if this listing is in stock and you stay on a drill. Leave it if you want the longer review history, or if the job is an 18 V impact driver.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You need a 90-degree chuck for round bits and this listing is the one in stock.
Less suitable: You want a large review file, or you are fitting an 18 V impact driver.

The DeWalt DWARAFS-Z puts a 90-degree Rapid Load head on a 12 inch flexible shaft, so the drill can stay outside a carcass while the tip turns a corner. Across 5,947 amazon.co.uk ratings it sits at 4.5, listed at £39.84, and the box includes the shaft plus a side handle for bracing the housing. The listing names DeWalt drills as the host. One UK review says the shaft is for driving, not drilling, so a twist bit in a joist is the wrong job. The specification table prints 300 Nm and “air powered”; those cells are not the product, and the bullets do not state an impact rating. The magnetic Rapid Load claim helps when you cannot see the screw, though a long shaft still wanders if you lean on it. It is the reach tool when a rigid 36 mm or 38 mm head cannot get around the obstacle. Leave it if you only need a compact impact head for a cabinet screw.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You need to drive a screw around an obstacle a rigid head cannot reach.
Less suitable: You are drilling a hole, or you want a compact impact-rated head.

What is in the box, and which torque figure should you use?
In the box: Shaft and handle. Bit holding is Magnetic claim. The specification table prints 300 Nm and air powered. Those cells are not the bullets, so they are not used here.
The DeWalt DT20500-QZ is the modular impact-ready head, not the DWARA120. Bullets and the listing agree on 43 Nm, a 38 mm head depth, a 1/4 inch hex socket, a rare-earth magnet and quick bit ejection, at £23.95. Across 882 amazon.co.uk ratings it sits at 4.5. Reviews say the socket is deep for 25 mm bits, so short inserts sit too far in and some people asked for longer bits. The included-components line is generic, so treat the box as the head, and ignore the specification table’s 1 g weight and “hand powered” cell. A removable handle is named in the bullets, which helps when you brace the housing. Choose it when you want a stated 43 Nm and easier bit ejection than the DWARA120 reviews describe. Leave it if you wanted bits in the box, or a chuck for round bits.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a modular impact head with a stated 43 Nm and a 38 mm depth.
Less suitable: You wanted bits in the box, or a chuck for round twist bits.

The ColumPRO S003-105 adds four driver bits to a 105-degree 1/4 inch hex head: a 50 mm PZ2, a 50 mm PH2, a 25 mm PZ2 and a 25 mm PH2, at £11.99. Across 215 amazon.co.uk ratings it averages 4.3, a little higher than the bare £6.99 ColumPRO head. The bullets say the bits work with impact drivers, while the head itself is described for a drill, a cordless drill or a hand wrench, so do not treat the set as an impact-rated gearbox. Permanent magnets hold the bit, and no torque figure is stated. The bullets say five products and the unit count says six, so check the box against the listing. The longer 50 mm bits help when a 25 mm insert sits too deep in a holder. It is the offset kit when you want Pozi and Phillips bits with the head. Leave it if you needed a stated torque or a true 90-degree impact head.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a 105-degree holder with Pozi and Phillips bits already in the box.
Less suitable: You needed a stated torque figure, or a true 90-degree impact head.
Specifications
Common questions
What angle and drive does the listing state?
The angle used here is 105 degrees. The drive is 1/4 inch hex, and the output is 1/4 inch hex. Head depth is not published.
Does the listing say it is impact-rated?
The impact line describes the bits, not a clear rating for the head. The host tools named are Drill or wrench. Do not take an impact rating from the title alone.
What is in the box, and which torque figure should you use?
In the box: Head plus 4 bits. Bit holding is Magnets. No torque is stated. The bullets and the unit count also disagree on how many pieces are in the box.
The DODUOS adapter puts a keyless chuck of 0.8–10 mm on a true 90-degree head with an 8 mm hex shank, so you can hold a round twist bit rather than a 1/4 inch driver bit. The bullets state 25 Nm and a 110 mm handle, at £16.89, and 432 amazon.co.uk ratings average 4.1. The listing does not say it is impact-rated, and the host line is hand drills, power drills and electric drills. Reviews include a chuck that loosened, a bit left in the wood, a first-hole failure, and one unit that arrived in pieces, so the plastic chuck is a wear point. Keep hammer mode off. It is the mid-price way to start a small hole in a tight corner with a cordless drill. Leave it on an 18 V impact driver, and leave it if you are boring a joist rather than a light pilot hole.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You need a 90-degree chuck for round bits on a drill, and the hole stays small.
Less suitable: You are fitting it to an impact driver, or you are boring a joist.

The QOTSTEOS listing is a 90-degree corner device at £12.99, with an ABS handle and a stated size of about 13.5 × 3.5 × 2 cm. Across 81 amazon.co.uk ratings it averages 4.1. The bullets copy an “impact rated for 18 V impact drivers” sentence, but reviews include bearings falling out and a break on first use, so that sentence is not the same evidence as Milwaukee’s 5,281 ratings. The bullets do not state a 1/4 inch or 8 mm shank, and they do not state a torque. Reviewers also call the body chunky for a tight slot. It may drive a few screws on a cordless drill if you brace the handle. Leave it if you are choosing an impact-rated head for regular 18 V work.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You might try a few screws on a cordless drill and you can brace the handle.
Less suitable: You want an impact-rated head for regular 18 V driving.

Does the listing say it is impact-rated?
The bullets claim impact use, and that claim is not backed by a large review file. The host tools named are Drill or impact. Do not take an impact rating from the title alone.
What is in the box, and which torque figure should you use?
In the box: Corner device. Bit holding is not stated. No torque and no shank size are stated. Reviews include a first-use break, so do not treat the impact sentence as settled.
The Motrijuka kit is two 105-degree adapters, one short and one long, at £4.99. Across 15 amazon.co.uk ratings it averages 4.1, too small a file to treat as a track record. The page does not state a shank size or a torque, and the impact question on the listing is unanswered, so keep it on a drill or a hand wrench. One review says it does not fit the tightest places, and a twin-pack complaint says the long piece arrived jammed. You still have to brace the housing. It is a spare offset pair for a few screws if the price is the point. Leave it when you need a published head depth, an impact rating, or more than 15 ratings behind the average.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a spare pair of 105-degree holders for a few light screws.
Less suitable: You need a published head depth, an impact rating, or a large review file.

The ColumPRO OB05-205 is a 105-degree, 1/4 inch hex holder at £6.99, and it is the best value in this set for a few light screws. Across 360 amazon.co.uk ratings it averages 4.0. The bullets state 10 Nm, a magnetic bit seat and a 360-degree position adjustment, and they name a drill or cordless drill, not an impact driver. Reviews say you must grip the body, because the housing turns with the screw if you do not. At a stated 10 Nm it is not a substitute for the DeWalt 43 Nm head or the Milwaukee impact set. Head depth is not published, so you cannot compare it with a 36 mm gap on paper. It suits a cabinet or furniture screw when you can brace the housing and the drill body needs to tilt off the face. Leave it on an impact driver, and leave it when the gap needs a square 90-degree head.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You are driving a few light screws and the drill body needs to tilt off the face.
Less suitable: You are using an impact driver, or the gap needs a square 90-degree head.

The listing does not describe this head as impact-rated. The host tools named are Cordless drill. Do not take an impact rating from the title alone.
What is in the box, and which torque figure should you use?
In the box: Head and bit seat. Bit holding is Magnetic seat. The bullets state 10 Nm. That is a light claim, and the listing does not call the head impact-rated.
The QHSXMQ box is a mixed kit at £6.80: a 300 mm flexible extension, a 90-degree piece, a 105-degree attachment, 10 bits and a case. Across 56 amazon.co.uk ratings it averages 3.8, the lowest star rating in this set. Reviewers say the 90-degree piece is a hand tool and will not fit a drill, so the title over-promises if you expected every piece to chuck up. Impact rating is not stated, and there is no torque figure. The flexible extension can reach a screw the rigid heads miss, if that piece actually fits your chuck. You are buying an assortment, not one impact-rated gearbox. It is a low-cost mix when you accept that one part may be hand-only. Leave it if you need one head you can put on an 18 V impact driver.
Pros
Cons
Best for: You want a cheap mixed kit and you accept that one piece may be hand-only.
Less suitable: You need one impact-rated head for an 18 V impact driver.

Twelve right angle drill attachments were compared from amazon.co.uk bullets, review notes and the public sources below. There was no lab test. The top pick is the highest score in this set, and the best value is the light 105-degree holder. Weights follow that buying order: geometry, the host tool, stated torque, control, then the box. Specification cells that contradict the bullets are not treated as the product.
Geometry
25%A true 90-degree head, a 105-degree offset and a flexible shaft are different tools. Head depth is part of the same check.
Host and interface
25%1/4 inch hex, 8 mm hex or a keyless chuck, plus a real impact statement in the bullets rather than in the title.
Stated torque and construction
20%Torque from the bullets or a UK dealer. Specification cells such as 200 Nm, 300 Nm, 1 g or air powered are ignored when they contradict the bullets.
Control
15%You have to brace the housing. A side handle or a second hand counts. A magnet keeps the screw and does not stop the head spinning.
Kit and review evidence
15%Bits that match the head, and a large amazon.co.uk review count, outrank a 5.0 from three ratings or a piece reviewers say will not fit a drill.
Start with the angle, then the shank and whether the bullets really claim impact use, then the torque you are allowed to trust. A low shelf price comes after those checks. The notes below follow that order for twelve amazon.co.uk listings. None of the scores is a workshop test. A 105-degree holder and a metal 90-degree gearbox are not the same type because both titles say right angle.
A right angle drill attachment turns a drill or impact driver through about 90 degrees, or a stated 105 degrees, so you can drive a screw or start a hole where the tool body will not fit. UK buyers include fitters, electricians, mechanics and householders working in carcasses, between joists and in engine bays. Quality is the gearcase and the interface.
A 105-degree holder lets the drill tilt off the face. It is the wrong head when the opening is square and you needed about 36 mm or 38 mm of depth. The shared title does not make them the same tool.
Those cells often describe a whole drill. Use the bullets, then a UK dealer. The DT20500 figure to use is 43 Nm. A table line of 300 inch-pounds is not 300 Nm. A 1 g weight or an air-powered cell is not the attachment.
A 5.0 from three ratings does not outrank 4.7 from 21,560 or 4.8 from 5,281. Headline counts are the amazon.co.uk figures. A mixed kit whose reviewers say one piece will not fit a drill is an assortment, not one impact-rated gearbox.
Geometry decides whether the head can enter the gap. A true 90-degree head is for an opening that is square to the face. In this set, Milwaukee states 36 mm and a true 90 degrees, the DeWalt DT20500 states 38 mm, and the DeWalt DWARA120 states 1.5 inches from front to back. A 105-degree offset lets the drill body tilt off the face. A flexible shaft goes around an obstacle a rigid head cannot reach. One UK review of the DeWalt 12 inch shaft says that piece is for driving, not drilling.
Stated torque has to come from the bullets or a UK dealer, not from a specification table that describes a whole drill. DeWalt’s UK dealer figure for the DT20500 is 43 Nm with a metal gearcase, and the listing bullets agree. The ColumPRO offset states 10 Nm. The keyless chuck adapters state about 25 Nm. Ignore cells such as 200 Nm, 300 Nm, 1 g or “air powered” when they contradict the bullets. The DWARA120 table prints 300 inch-pounds. That is not 300 Nm.
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
You want occasional access without a second drill. The Milwaukee 4932471274 is about £14.95, with 4.8 from 5,281 ratings, a true 90-degree head at 36 mm, an impact rating for 18 V drivers and ten bits in the box. There is no side handle. It is the wrong head for round twist bits.
You can brace a cheap offset for a few screws, and the drill body needs to tilt off the face. The ColumPRO OB05-205 is about £6.99, with 4.0 from 360 ratings and a stated 10 Nm. It names a drill, not an impact driver. Leave it when the gap needs a square 90-degree head.
You need a 90-degree chuck for round twist bits on a drill, and the hole stays small. The DODUOS adapter is about £16.89, with 4.1 from 432 ratings, an 8 mm hex shank, a 0.8–10 mm chuck and a stated 25 Nm. Impact use is not stated. Treat the plastic chuck as a wear point, and do not bore a joist with it.
In this set of twelve amazon.co.uk listings, the top pick is the Milwaukee 4932471274 at about £14.95, with 4.8 from 5,281 ratings. The bullets state a true 90-degree head at 36 mm, impact-rated for 18 V impact drivers and drill drivers, with ten bits in the box. The 200 Nm specification cell is not a stated torque. The best value is the ColumPRO OB05-205 at about £6.99, with 4.0 from 360 ratings, a 105-degree holder and a stated 10 Nm for a few light screws on a drill. It is not described as impact-rated. None of these scores is a lab test.
ColumPRO 105 degree
Best value for a few light screws: about £6.99, 4.0 from 360 ratings, 105 degrees, 1/4 inch hex and a stated 10 Nm, and not for an impact driver.
