Thanks dude! My whole reason for watching this video was to find out how to rotate that dang handle lol i never would have figured that out! Two thumbs up man thanks 👍👍

I am a professional installer, MECP certify for over 20 years in the 12 volt industry. We use the right angle attachment to remove hard to reach screws or hex screws of any size. They are amazing must have tool... I also use it in soft materials like aluminum, and some wood material you have to use the correct bit and you will have no problem....

Can always count on Catus for a good review no matter how funky or old an item is. Thanks again 👍🏻👍🏻

I have the version like the silver one and I owned for over 30 years. The tool that I have was marketed by Schosche and it was called the Skewdriver. Mine came with a manual screwdriver handle that you removed to make it look like the one in the video. I mainly used mine to remove the screws from the front dash speakers

As an AC tech the smaller driver from Milwaukee is great. But then I don't use it as a drill, just a nut driver removing and rescrewing 1/4, 5/16, 3/8 sheet metal screws. I finally blew out the gears after five years. Thanks for the video. I was considering the new version but considering the size I'll stick with the old version. Easier to get into really tight spaces and fits well in the front pockets of my electricians bag. The little grip "wing" has not been a problem with mine since I took it off and threw it away...lol.

Great review! Definitely appreciated the demonstration

I bought the older model for drilling through fireblocks. Comes in handy with tv mounts too when you need to undo the securing screws while the tv is on the floor and there’s nowhere to lay it down.

I got the first generation what seems like over 25 years ago for the Milwaukee 12V drill driver I had at the time and I think that's what it was made for if I'm not mistaken. It did the job well in that respect. As far as power goes, cordless was still pretty much novel in those days compared to today.

PREDRILL! Drill a hole smaller than the shank of the screw with a hex tailed drill in the same attachment. Then put the screw in. Easier to drive, no warping, already centred and no splitting. Also avoid Phillips heads like the plague, Use either torx or Robertson instead (square). You will find Benefits if predrilling many years later. Predrilled fasten points do not split after weathering in stuff like decks. Everyone in co structuring just try to brute force screws for some reason. Impacts drivers are for small hex heads and sheet metals. For most application, a drill motor is much better. Slower but basically error free. Yes, PREDRILL. Try it and you will see how much better a joint fundamentally becomes. It’s not just for wood workers.

I still need to pick up the updated version. The old style is definitely a PITA but it does great with stubby socket drivers.

Thanks for the video great job 👍🏻👍🏻

Thanks for the review cuz I was thinking about buying the new Milwaukee one with the red handle I appreciate the time and effort that you put into this video peace brother

I've never had an issue being able to drive s screw with either one of those

Great video thank you man!

Excellent review. I’ll be buying the heavy duty version.

Thank you for showing how to rotate the handle, the packaging didn’t come with instructions.

Excellent review👍

Great detail. Helped figure out not to use em with an impact, since it’s likely to blow out the gearbox or something.

Can you use the big Milwaukee with paddle bits to drill holes with?

Definitely use me some torx almost always.

Right angle drivers with an impact and a spax t-star self drilling/tapping screw can work wonders... I'd stay away from any low quality phillips screws in these kinds of tricky situations.

You keep saying 15 degree angle for that old Milwaukee adapter does the packaging say 15 degree because in my opinion if you're considering the newer one a 90 degree angle then I would say it would be 75 degrees for the old one meaning 15° off 90 is that make sense or is it just me? Because if it was 15 degree rather than 75 degree your drill would be only 15 degrees off from a straight line with the fastener but it's not almost straight line 15 degrees off it is almost 90 degrees off at 75

i did a job on Arcadia Ca. and without my right angle driver bit i would have been screwed, tho i use it mostly for attaching hex drill bits and when you screw something in you should never just screw it on to the area you should pre make a smaller diameter hole but not so small or not so big just almost the with of the inner walls of the screw and you can use it way more efficient and will work like a charm. Also never use the cheap phillips and flat head screws use the star pattern or if you cant get those use the square head....trust me you will thank me later and you will never use those other old scool screws again.

Thanks for a great review! I was surprised to learn (via another video) that, in the US, Robertson screws are much less common than Phillips screws. While it may be innacurate, the Robertson screw represents the majority of screws sold and used in Canada, and I can definitely see the difficulty, the frustration (and danger?) of driving a Phillips screw with an angle driver.

thanks for sharing

I only use these angle driver in tight space in the engine bay

GREAT REVIEW !! (I love your expertise, so I had to subscribe ) ~ I imagine that the screw would be easier to drive, if there was a pre-drilled hole . . . . just sayin'

Great video. I agreed with the other comment about the Douglas Fir. Smaller, decent screws into pine or similar or into plugs in brick etc. and they both work really well in the right situation. Use the drill at a slower speed without to much load and if starts to cam out, like in your video, stop and re-position the bit in the screw head. Don't just carry on like you did and damage the bit or the screw head. The more expensive models can be used with a 12V impact driver if you are really gentle and don't go full throttle with it otherwise you will still mash the gears. For really tight spaces and light work they are a very worthwhile addition to your toolbox. Don't even bother with the Chinese knock offs from flea bay and the likes. If you have the space though a right angle drill is so much more powerful and useful. I have the 18V Dewalt (20V Max in the USA) which is fantastic for drilling spade bits, auger bits, hole saws or even Milwaukee Switchblade bits through almost anything especially floor joists. Even better are the Armeg Stubby Wood Beavers. They go through 2 by material like butter. An interesting side note is that at a Milwaukee van demo day the rep tried to get me to switch over to the Milwaukee M18 right angle drill saying it was much, much better than the Dewalt. He was drilling through a 6 by 6 inch oak beam with small diameter auger and spade bits. When he went up to a larger sized Switchblade bit, about half way through the M18s electronic clutch kicked in and stopped the drill. The bit was stuck and he couldn't even reverse it out. He said that he shouldn't really be drilling holes that large in oak beams anyway. I grabbed my Dewalt from my van and it reversed the bit straight out no problem. I finished drilling his hole through the 6 by 6 then drilled several more holes straight through without any problem using the Dewalt. I let him try my Dewalt an the rep started to stutter and then tried to say it was because the Dewalt uses a mechanical clutch which won't fully protect the tool in an overload situation. My answer was that I also know when my drill is struggling and I am perfectly capable of stopping the drill myself in that situation. And that as he had seen and used my Dewalt to drill through the same 6 by 6 oak without any sign of stressing the drill that it was clearly a more powerful drill than the Milwaukee M18 version. He eventually and very reluctantly conceded that maybe (and only maybe) in the case of right angle drills the Dewalt may be a better tool. He knew I'm not just a Dewalt fan boy as I have a lot of Milwaukee tools, so I was already a customer. I don't have any strong feeling of one brand over the other. I just need good quality tools that get the job done. For lighter stuff (smaller diameter) I have a Milwaukee 4 in 1 kit. www.milwaukeepowertools.co.uk/milwaukee-m12bddxkit-202c I don't think you can buy it in the USA though. This tool is useful because you can stack the heads on the right angle 1/4 inch hex adapter. With no attachment it's a drill / driver with 1/4 inch hex head. Add the offset head if needed for an offset screwdriver. Or you can add the drill chuck and use it as a regular drill. Then when you want to you can use the right angle adapter on it and have all of those tools again at a right angle. So technically a 6 in 1 but Milwaukee call it a 4 in 1 for some reason. Also a massive bonus over a fixed head right angle drill is that the right angle adapter can be placed in about a dozen or more positions to get it exactly where you need it. Milwaukee now have an M12 Fuel version www.milwaukeepowertools.co.uk/milwaukee-m12fpdxkit-202x which they DO call a 6 in 1 tool, doh! Again not sure you can get it in the USA but maybe if enough of you complain to the Milwaukee reps they will release them over there. Bosch do a 5 in 1 which is similar and is available State side. I haven't used this tool my self so I don't know if it's anywhere as good as the Milwaukee tools. www.amazon.com/Bosch-GSR12V-140FCB22-Flexiclick-Driver-System/dp/B074GYX6XG Hope this helps.

They work but I guess I have a built in malfunction that just won't allow me to control it. Dewalt right angle close quarter drill driver is my candy.

Thanks a lot! Also wanted to see how to rotate the handle.

I have the Dewalt impact-rated one. Haven't used it yet for anything real, so I'm not sure it was a worthwhile purchase. And I notice Milwaukee has a shockwave version without the handle (and about half the price). Anyway know about that one?

Well done Good info and nice video thanks

I was hoping you'd use the bigger angle driver to drive the smaller angle driver

I use mine for taking out or screwing in bolts between bars or other areas you cant get a drill

woooooooh that is alot of chit chat

this guy is SMART!

Be careful with that DeWalt 887 vcg Construction has burned up three of them already as well as viewers in vcgs comments and DeWalt will not address the problem. Apparently DeWalt as cheaped out on safeties for protecting the drill and or batteries from overload andhigh heat Etc. Vcg says that DeWalt includes their own proprietary technology that is (too stupid to quit), obviously sarcastically saying that they did not put fail-safes in the dcf887.

Perfect video! I'm taking this cheap junk back to home Depot

using dewalt to use a Milwaukee driver haricy

That small one heats up quick and then its hard to turn. Not worth the money

Better have an angle drill

Douglas Fir was kind of unfair to the little one.

Phillips construction screws make me sad...

😄👌👍...!!!...

MINTUL MANG... HAHA

we all know the longer the video, the more ad it will run but please get to the point a little faster.

I bought a old style one around 10 years ago. It’s still in my work bench to reminds me the most useless tool and completely waste money I paid for.

Not impact rated wth Milwaukee

They work great for hex nuts, who in the fuck is going too try and drive Phillips screws in a tight spot with an angle driver

Great review until he said $50 bucks Damn.

So hard

I use it without the handle. That handle is worthless.

*_ "A BAD Tradesman ALLWAYS blames his Tools" !!!! _*

Omg, he dot even know how to use it...🤣😂

$86.00 bullshit

That is not what this tools is for... it just a reaching tool

No need for a review lol. Get what you pay for in this case!

These are garbage.

Painful to even watch. Fml
