My Ryobi drill was great for most jobs, but it hit a wall when I needed to reach behind a cabinet. The solution was a DeWalt FlexTorq right-angle attachment, which I found at a garage sale. This attachment is compatible with any tool that has a 1/4-inch hex shank, and it doesn't matter what brand the tool is. The FlexTorq system can be used with four different attachments, including a compact right-angle, a standard right-angle, a right-angle flex shaft, and a straight flex shaft. The compact head alone can make a significant difference, allowing you to reach behind tight corners and tight spaces. The long handle provides more distance, while the flex shaft allows you to snake past obstacles. The rare earth magnet holds the screw in place, allowing you to start a fastener with one hand while holding the cabinet with the other. This upgrade is a smart investment for your tool budget, as it can save you time and effort in the long run.
