 |
|
I’m planning to purchase an angle drill attachment for getting into tight spaces. I noticed that there are the “regular” right-angle drill attachments, and then there are snake right-angle drill attachments available as well. Has anyone used both a “regular” right-angle drill attachment and a snake right-angle drill attachment, and if so, which do you prefer? [quote][b]

Hey Dave!
I second Jay's recommendation for the "Tight-Fit" drill. I didn't use it much until I got to the fuselage, but have used it almost daily since. Even though it does take two hands to operate, there are times when the rigidity of it are needed. A snake attachment wouldn't provide that. Like most things, you'll probably find a use for both but I'd start with the drill kit.
I bought the "Tight-Fit Drill Kit" from Aircraft Spruce, but as Jay noted you can get it other places. Get a couple of extra bits too. I'm getting ready to order a couple myself.

Dave-
I picked up an HF corded right angle drill, not just an adaptor, on sale for $30. I keep broken drill bits for use with it for the really tight spaces. It works, but I wish the chuck was keyed- it's kind of hard to get a good grip on a chunk of drill bit with a keyless chuck. Sands your thumb and forefinger a bit. And the cord is a PIA, but you'll get your $30 worth of use out of it.

Personally I prefer 100 to 1 a purpose built air angle drill. I bought one
used many years ago, and every time I use it I am reminded of how smart I
was to have bought it (big grin). But they are expensive new, and not
everyone has access to used ones at a good price. A snake drill gets in
some tight places but it is very difficult to control because you have to
use it one handed (because your other hand is holding the "mother-ship
drill"). With a good helper it can be a good solution. The angle
attachments I don't know about, I have never used one, but they look
clumsy to me, and I am clumsy enough without help!

I bought a not to expensive air angle drill and use it often but there are still some places that the angle attachment really comes in handy. My only gripe about the angle attachment is there isn't any local source for the bits.
