Helped me fix a cupboard backing board in minutes
Your browser does not support HTML5 video. I have a cupboard where backing board keeps slipping down. It’s also got a built in oven so difficult to wind down and slip out the carcass.After lots of fumbling around underneath with glue and tac nails to no avail I found this little dream.There’s no way I can show a photo in situ as it’s too dark and close quarters but hopefully the video shows how it works. This allowed me to reach under the kickboard to the back and screw a line of 4 screws into the bottom of the backing board to hold it up in the grooves.Great little tool and much less swearing 🤬 on my DIY jobs lolIt does also work well with my Makita driver but I’m not sure I’d want to put too much force through it.

Works well. But make sure you understand how to use it.
First off. It is important to understand the limitations of this tool.This is not an industrial strength tool for regular contractor work. If you buy it for that purpose, you will be disappointed.However, for occasional use, for that tight spot, it is very useful and can get you out of trouble.It consists of a length of locline, with an internal spring, that is joined at either end to a hex socket and a hex plug. It isn't exactly delicate, but, it certainly isn't strong and robust either.Secondly, you must use it as the instructions state.Do not use it in an impact driver. That will bresk it within seconds.It can only be used in a drill, and then only in a drill/driver.A drill driver will have a specific screw driving setting on the chuck, and a set of numbers, which you choose to determine the torque.In use you should set it to a low number, and then gradually increase until the screw is tight and the drill clutch slips.Usually, this will be around number 5-6.It will not drive screws directly through medium/hard wood. (It can drive screws into soft pine, but you are always better off drilling a pilot hole first.)Its use is for driving screws into, pre-drilled holes, such as in wood, or into rawlplugs in walls.For this purpose, it works well and is genuinely useful.I've attached a photo, where it proved to be extremely useful.Driving a screw into a rawlplug for a utensil hanger bracket.With the bottom of the cupboard above being so close, it meant that there wasn't enough space for the drill to drive the screw in straight, but with the aid of this flexible shaft it was easy.Overall, I've given it 4 stars. It is not the sort of a tool that gets a lot of use, but, on occasion, it can be invaluable.It is cheap, but, quite nicely made, and does work well, but you must be aware of its limitations and use it correctly.I hope you found this review helpful.

Great add-on for drilling but flimsy
Pros+Reasonably priced+Attaches to drill well. Not loose at allCons-Flimsy silicone casing on extension which is prone to chipping.-Requires a bit of use to losen the extension cable to make tight turns

Ideal for pinball table repairs
Underside of a pinball table is congested with components and hard to reach screw fixings, this device makes it easy to reach to where a screwdriver can’t go.
