Ratings & Reviews for IRWIN Lock-n-load 1/4-in Hex Quick Connect 6-in Drill Bit Extension

Great

Lost mine down a hole after 5 years. This is a replacement. Same brand and length. Good tool.

Straight and true

Used this to extend my spade bit to 7” in some ash I milled and finished for floating shelves in my pantry. Great product.

Not lifetime warrany

Item failed to release bits. Took to store for warranty replacement. Was told Irwin products were not lifetime warranty like cobalt brand. Cornwell tool rep says that Irwin is lifetime and will try to warranty the item.

Drill extension

Have brought two of these, and both snapped in the same place, where the hex meets the round shaft. I was using as an extension on 10mm spade bit into pine. have purchased another one but only use as screwdriver bit extension on low torque. These are a great idea but need to be made of higher quality material.

Good Product

I needed a extension for a Irwin Speedbor drill I have. I really didn't need a 12" extension. But I saw this 6" one and had to have it. The quality and contruction is of good quality. The end holds any 1/4" tools from drills to drill bits.

Excellent quick connect

This is a solid quick-connect. I used it to extend a drill bit for drilling through a truss in my attic. The male end slips in securely and feels solid.

Wish that they would of had the kolbolt item in stock but this is a good product

1/4-in Hex Quick Connect 6-in Drill Bit Extension

Gripped easily and firmly by the drill chucks. Holds bits firmly itself. I got it to make putting up panels and sub panels easier, but it has proven to make nearly any limited access project easier.

Helpful

Great product if you need extra length for your drill. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is I had a 2 inch versions lock break on me. It broke when a 90 degree drill attachment broke on me and I had to pull the bit out with plyers. I probably wasn't twisting it as much as would be normal with a drill but it still shouldn't have broken on me.

Bad buy

Broke on first use retainer to hold bit in place does not hold bits keep falling out

Erwin 1/4 inch Quick Connect 6 inch Drill Bit Ext

Broke within one minute. Can't get the drill shank out of the quick connect socket. This is for extremely light duty only, maybe at the best a 1/4 inch drill in very soft wood. Do NOT buy.

Great For Getting Into Tight Spaces

This is a good quality extension for drilling and driving into tight spaces
