Angled & Flexible Bit Holders
Angled and flexible bit holders help you drive screws and drill fixings in places where a normal drill or driver won’t fit. From 90° adaptors to flex shafts, they’re essential for working behind pipes, inside cabinets or around awkward corners.
What Are These Bit Holders For?
They’re built to solve access issues in tight or obstructed spaces:
- Cabinet & Wardrobe Fitting – Reach behind panels and around fixings
- Plumbing & Electrical – Work around pipe runs, ducting and trunking
- Timber Framing – Drive screws between joists or tight stud spaces
- Automotive & HVAC – Remove panels or mount hardware in confined areas
Used By:
- Kitchen fitters and carpenters
- Site electricians and plumbers
- Engineers and mobile repair techs
Choosing the Right Accessory
Pick by angle, bit retention and tool compatibility:
1. Angled vs Flexible
90° angled holders offer torque and control. Flexible shafts are best for lighter screwdriving at odd angles.
2. Magnetic & Locking Tips
Magnetic bits help retain screws. Locking collars prevent wobble and bit fall-out in hard-to-see spots.
3. Power Tool Rated
Make sure they’re rated for use in drills or impact drivers — especially for high-torque tasks in site conditions.

Angled & Flexible Holder FAQs
Can I use these in an impact driver?
Only if the holder is impact-rated. Flexi shafts are best for drills — 90° adaptors with reinforced heads can take more torque.
Do these fit all screwdriver bits?
Most use standard 1/4" hex fittings — compatible with all common driver bits including PH2, PZ2 and Torx.
Are they magnetic?
Some are — look for magnetic tip or collar in the spec. This helps hold screws on the bit when working one-handed.
Can I drill holes with these?
Short light drilling is fine, but they’re not for heavy hole-boring. Use standard right-angle attachments for tough drilling jobs.
