What Customers Are Saying
The product is generally well-made and useful for extending the reach of drill bits, with a sturdy construction and balanced design. However, some customers reported issues with the set screws, which can split or round out, making the bit difficult to remove. Additionally, the extension may not be suitable for use in a drill press due to safety concerns. Overall, the product's performance is satisfactory for most users, but the set screw problems are a notable drawback.
Customer review summary generated by AI, including incentivized reviews.Good reaching item that is stiff and strong enough
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.

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.
