Tight-space drill attachment

The DeWalt DWARAFS is a 12-inch right-angle flex shaft that connects to a standard drill. Its 90-degree head and flexible shaft let tradespeople drive fasteners inside cabinets, between studs and around pipework where a straight drill cannot fit.

Upgrade from fixed right-angle adapters

A rigid 90-degree adapter keeps the drill body in line with the bit, so the tool still hits framing or ductwork. The flexible shaft on this attachment routes around obstacles, making the jump worthwhile whenever the work area is deeper than the drill length or blocked on multiple sides.

Twelve inches of reach with magnetic bit retention

The 12-inch shaft provides enough length for most stud-bay and cabinet jobs while keeping the drill handle outside the cavity. The Rapid Load head holds bits with 10 times the magnetic force of the DW2505 using a #8 truss-head screw, so fasteners stay aligned during one-handed driving. It runs out when the cavity exceeds the shaft length or when torque demand exceeds what the flexible coupling can transmit.
