What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise this drill bit extender for its secure bit retention, reliability, and ability to reach difficult drilling locations. The dual set screws firmly lock bits in place, preventing slipping during impact driving or deep drilling up to ten inches or more. Reviewers highlight its effectiveness in previously inaccessible areas—through thick walls, concrete, and multi-layered materials—with many using multiple extenders end-to-end to achieve five-foot lengths. The sturdy, balanced construction resists twisting under load, and the beveled back end aids tool removal. A few users report occasional set screw issues, but most consider this an indispensable solution for challenging installations.

Would RecommendI purchased this as a replacement to other quick release extensions that broke. This item is much more secure and doesn't seem like it will break or lose the bit when pulling out. Good choice and the extra minute to screw in the bit is worth the effort.

just what i needed
Would Recommendmounting a wind ornament into an old tree trunk..needed to drill down deep enough to fully submerge the prongs that are meant to go in the ground. worked perfectly

Very handy and well built tool, but
Would RecommendHad to drill a hole where I was 8"-10" from where I could get the drill to it. See pic. So I looked into this. Its well built and easy to use and set up. Potential problem, there are two types of drill bits. Plain ones and those that are quick release. See second pic. The problem with a regular bit is that when inserted into the extender, it does not center, unless it is really thick. See third picture. But if you use the quick release bits with the thicker attachment, it centers nicely. Luckily...
Perfect for the Job
Would RecommendThis extension works as it was intended! I was able to drill through (3) three 2x4 headers in order to get my cables where I needed them! Thanks Irwin!

Drill bit extension
Would RecommendWorks great! If you need to reach something to drill but it is to tight for your drill this is the ticket. Will hold any round bit without slipping.

IRWIN 1/4-in Hex Quick Connect 12-in Drill Bit Ext
Would RecommendI WAS WORKING ON A PROJECT THAT I NEEDED TO DRILL A 4 FT LONG HOLE. The extension allowed me drill 1 ft at a time and to Keep the hole where it needed to be. If I would have tried to drill the hole $ ft at one time, it would not have came out was well.

sturdy and convenient
Would RecommendThis extension is balanced, sturdy and locks into place. It locks with a set screw not allowing the bit to release until you want it to.
