Power Drill Accessories
With the right accessories you can use your drill to drive screws and nuts. Socket sets with a 1/4 inch hex connection fit directly into the chuck. Choose standard or extra-long sockets depending on the depth of the fastener. A right-angle attachment gives you a 90-degree bend, ideal for tight spaces where a straight tool cannot reach. Always check the drive of your drill: most accessories use the 6.3 mm (1/4 inch) hex size, but some machines have a different interface. This is how you get the most from your drill for assembly, maintenance, and installation work.
Power Drill Accessories
Check the drive size
Most power drills have a 6.3 mm (1/4 inch) hexagon chuck. Check this before you order. A wrong drive will not fit and slows you down. With the right hexagon, you can mount sockets and bits directly in the chuck.
Socket length matters
Standard sockets suit most screws. Extra long sockets reach screws in deep recesses or countersunk fixings. Measure the space you work in. That way you avoid buying a set that is too short or too long.
Right-angle drives for tight spots
A right-angle drive turns the tool 90 degrees. This lets you drive screws where a straight drill does not fit. Check the angle and the load capacity. For heavy work, choose a robust model.
This accessory belongs with the hand tools in your workshop. If you prefer to tighten screws by hand, look at screwdrivers or Hex & Torx keys. For the drilling itself, choose from drills, and to check the size, use measuring tools.
