Would Recommendgets you in those tight spots. two hex screws lock your bit in place. Left mine out overnight outside, it rained. The Drill Bit Extension rusted pretty bad but cleaned up OK with some sandpaper and still usable.

Gets the job done
Would RecommendThis is a replacement for a tool I’ve had for probably 25 years until the set screws stripped out. It’s one of those tools that is not often needed but when it is needed it’s the only one that can get the job done so I replaced my old one.

Extension worked as advirtised
This Irwin 1/4” drill bit extension was just what I needed. I needed an extension that the shaft portion would fit through a 5/16” hole. The shaft on this extension was just small enough to fit. Everything else about the product worked as advertised for me. I was drilling in soft wood and had no problems. I would recommend this product.

1/4" --- one size too small for my application.
Would Not RecommendDid not work for polishing and buffing pads because the 1/4" hex socket did not fit any of the polishing mandrels I have which seem to be 5/16". No tool companies seem to make this size for polishing applications. Thus I had to return it.
