Even the smallest drills and drivers can be too small to fit everywhere you need them to. There will always be tight corners, crowded spaces, and hard-to-reach areas that simply can’t accommodate even a compact tool. The solution to this problem? A right angle drill adapter, a tool that does exactly what its name promises, and right now one from a trusted tool brand is on sale.
The Milwaukee Shockwave Right Angle Drill Adapter is on sale for $26 at Walmart, 28% off its normal $36 price tag and a dollar cheaper than it was at Amazon last month. It seems like a simple accessory, but this particular model has a few different thoughtful design touches that make it worth keeping stashed in your tool box or workshop, particularly with this discount.
One end of this accessory attaches to any drill or impact driver with a 1/4-inch hex shank; the other receives any drill bit with a 1/4-inch hex shank. In between the two ends, there’s what Milwaukee calls an “optimized internal shock zone” that’s made out of custom alloy steel. It’s built to absorb peak torque and prevent breaking as it turns the gears in the head that redirect the power of the drill 90 degrees. The bit end is just 1.4 inches tall and has a very helpful magnet to help hold the bit in place, as the kinds of places where you’d use this adapter are also the last places you’d want to drop a tiny piece of metal.

The Milwaukee Shockwave Right Angle Drill Adapter is a one trick pony, but it’s a very useful trick, and the high quality of the materials means that it can do that trick for a long time. Mechanics, carpenters, and repairmen amateur and professional can get a lot of use out of this accessory, which will be worth much more than its current $26 price tag over the course of its life.
