What Customers Are Saying
This drill bit extension offers a quick-connect design and secure bit grip to access hard-to-reach areas and drill deeper holes. While many users found it to be a good quality product that performed well, some reported issues with the top retainer popping off, the bit falling out, or the extension breaking on first use. The consensus is that this is a versatile tool, but its durability and reliability may be inconsistent. It is recommended for select jobs, but users suggest considering more heavy-duty options for extended or frequent use.

Top retainer came apart
Would Not RecommendWith in a handful of uses the top retainer popped off and wouldn't snap back on for any amount of time resulting to taping in place to finish the job but big disappointment bought these over the other extension for locking option

Good extension for drill
Would RecommendUsed for extension with drill and rotary brush. Helped when working in tight places. Holds brush securely and is easy to remove attachments.

Well made, easy to use, super useful
Well made, the spring loaded clip holds the bits very well, with no wiggle. The spring is firm but easy to use. Very solid shaft. I wish I had this product years ago, since my 25 year old drill has an old-style chuck.

MIKEY LIKES IT
Would RecommendI liked too. First of the bit extenders I found. The blue band fell off right away, that's OK it's not really part of the tool. It doesn't take well to an Impact Driver and eventually came apart. It did last a few years so I went back to replace it with the same make and model. The associate didn't know where they were so I ended up with a Dewalt one. A few dollars more but narrower head so I'll give it a try.
Every inch matters. A good purchase.
I love the way this extension holds bits tightly - I only wish the release collar was a smaller diameter than the head. Sometimes can release bits while drilling deeper holes in wood, as the hole gets filled with shavings.

Very hand for deep access screws
Would RecommendWorks well with standard hex bits, but unfortunately doesn’t work with double ended bits
