Ratings may include incentivized customer reviews.
What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise this drill bit extension for its secure bit retention and quick-connect mechanism, which locks bits tightly without wobble and enables fast changes. The 6-inch length excels in hard-to-reach areas like tight spaces, under sinks, and through thick lumber where standard bits fall short. Most describe the construction as sturdy and durable, with many keeping it on their tool belt for recurring projects. A few report occasional bit slippage under heavy load or rare snapping at the hex junction, though these issues represent a small minority of feedback. Overall, reviewers consider it an indispensable tool.

great tool
Would Recommendwish they had this on the market when i was in the trades. this is a great tool for installers, carpenters, or in my case, homeowner. much cheaper than extended bits and more versatile. don't make the mistake i made and wreck the shipping package to get the tool into your hand. the package is a convenient tool holder so that you can hang it on your shop wall when not in use.

Great extension bit
Would RecommendVery easy to use and is just the right length to get in to those hard to reach places. The downfall is that the quick connect is a little bulky. If you are needing to drill a hole past the quick connect, you have to use a bit larger than it to get through. This may not be acceptable in all applications.

Poor quality
Would Not RecommendWas using this product with an Irwin speed bore drill bit. When I pulled back on this combination the end of this Quick Change Chuck came apart leaving the bit buried deep into the hole. Luckily I could get a pair of needle nose pliers on the end of the drill bit and maneuvered it out. Great concept, but not good design. Will be seeking to get my money back.
Nice Design
Would RecommendThis is nice when you need a little more reach then the 2" version, still has the great push in to lock feature that is so nice.
