What Customers Are Saying

The Irwin drill bit extension is a well-made and versatile tool that helps extend the reach of drill bits. Many customers found it to be sturdy, balanced, and able to securely hold bits in place, even when drilling through tough materials. The extension's locking mechanism was praised for preventing bits from getting lost or dropping out during use. It works best for drilling holes that require extra depth or reach, such as in walls or other hard-to-access areas. However, some customers reported issues with the extension not fitting their specific drill bits or applications.

the 1/4 inch hex Quick connect is unreliable.

Would Not Recommend

This 1/4 inch Quick connect becomes loose damaging the drill bit attached to it, the Quick connect extension and, the job itself no matter how much I tighten the screws to the extension. Much better off purchasing the correct drill bit for the job. I returned this 1/4-in Hex Quick Connect drill extension to Lowes. After a bit of a hassle I was able to get my refund.

Drill Bit Extension

Would Recommend

I needed to purchase a new longer extension as the top part of another name brand snapped off when I tried to use it in a drill press.. I do not think that the 6 inch or any of them might be safely used in a drill press. They are ok in a hand held electric drill.

You do not need a 12 inch bit extension often, but when you do -- this is the one you want in your tool box.

Works to design intent. The receiver end should have slighter smaller to provide a tighter fit but overall works good.

Worked well for high torque auger bits

Would Recommend

I had to drill a 1" hole down in a wall over 5 feet down. I have a 4 foot long auger bit and this extension worked perfectly. I was concerned that the two little set screws on the extension wouldn't be able to hold the bit because it requires a lot more torque than a regular bit. The bit takes so much force to turn that most homeowner quality drills can't turn it. Another thing I was concerned about was that the extension might let go and I would lose the bit. Fortunately, the extension worked p...

Put 3 end to end, and Drilled my Hole!

Would Recommend

Bought 3 of these and put them end to end. Was able to drill a hole in a surface that was 29 inches from the drill, with 4 inches of clearance on the front & back. Its behind an aquarium tank, which cannot readily be moved. Cut the hole very well!

Indespensable.

I've lost more than one paddle bit with other extensions. The two screws lock it in so I don't have to worry about ever loosing another drill bit in the wall.
