DEWALT Right Angle Flex Shaft Drill Attachment 12" – 90° Head, Rapid Load & Side Handle

DEWALT's 12-inch Right Angle Flex Shaft (DWARAFS) converts your drill into a compact, flexible driver for tight, angled, and hard-to-reach fastening jobs.

When working in confined spaces—cabinet interiors, stair stringers, equipment housings, or automotive body panels—you need a tool that gets the bit where your drill body can't. The DEWALT DWARAFS combines a 90° head with a flexible 12" shaft so you can drive screws at odd angles without removing panels or wresting with awkward positioning. Built-in features speed bit changes and improve accuracy while a side handle gives extra control for heavier tasks.

How does the flex shaft reach tight spots that a normal drill cannot?

The unit's 90-degree head and 12-inch flexible shaft allow the bit to reach around corners and behind obstructions while the drill stays stationary. The shaft bends to follow the path you need, so you can fasten in places that would otherwise require disassembly or specialty tools.

• 12" flexible shaft extends access into deep cavities
• 90° head lets the bit operate perpendicular to the drill axis
• Flexible routing reduces the need to reposition the whole tool

What makes changing and holding bits faster and more accurate?

DEWALT equipped the attachment with a Rapid Load head for quick, single-handed bit swaps. A powerful magnet secures each fastener in place, improving alignment and reducing dropped screws in awkward locations.

• Rapid Load head speeds up bit insertion and removal
• Magnetic bit holder offers approximately 10x holding power vs. DW2505 for stable drives
• Improved bit retention reduces wobble and misfeeds in narrow workspaces

Will the side handle help when driving longer or tougher fasteners?

Yes — the included side handle provides extra leverage and control, especially when applying higher torque or working on angled surfaces. It gives you a firmer grip to steady the tool so you can guide the bit precisely without overcompensating with your wrist.

• Removable side handle for two-handed stability
• Better control during high-torque applications or awkward angles
• Less user fatigue when maintaining steady pressure in confined spaces

How does this attachment integrate with my existing cordless or corded drill?

The DWARAFS slides between your drill’s chuck and the bit, functioning like a conventional bit holder with added flexibility. It accepts standard hex shank bits and works with most drills that have sufficient chuck capacity and torque for your fastening needs.

• Standard hex compatibility for common driver bits
• Fits most corded and cordless drills with compatible chucks
• Quick-connect style head maintains fast tool swaps on the job

Who this is for: The DEWALT 12" Right Angle Flex Shaft (DWARAFS) is designed for tradespeople, installers, and serious DIYers who regularly encounter confined or awkward fastening locations. If you install cabinetry, hang trim, work on HVAC or automotive interiors, or simply want to avoid repeated disassembly to reach screws, this attachment speeds the job, enhances bit control, and reduces frustration.
