How To Insert Drill Bit Securely into the Dewalt Extension
by R Whittaker (5 out of 5 stars)
April 30, 2018

Exactly what I needed to install cabling for a project. To insert the drill bit, first pull down the chrome by hand and hold it down, fully insert drill bit, release chrome. The bit will now be securely attached to the extension. Now attach the extension to the drill like any drill bit.

Wish I'd had this along time ago. Outstanding tool for HVAC!
by Wingnut (5 out of 5 stars)

I can't tell you how many times prior to receiving this tool that I wish I'd had it while working on HVAC air handlers and furnaces. This tool has already bailed me out a couple times while trying to extract sequencers and other related components mounted to the back of the units. Seriously, if your in the HVAC trade, this is one of those tools that will save time and reduce frustration. I don't have any problems with the way other impacts bits fit into it. Yep, you have to slide the spring catch back and release it to lock the bit in. Easy business. The extension seems to be very well made and so far has performed flawlessly, exactly what I've come to expect from Dewalt. I had two sequencers that needed to be changed in a Mobile home, the liquid, suction, and condensate drain were located directly in front of the component. Not enough room to get an impact in there, my regular 6" extension bits wouldn't reach. Without this tool, It was either going to be a stubby screw driver or go back to the truck to get a ratchet set. Pulled out this extension, inserted my 6" bit extension, and bam screws were removed. Time and or trip to truck saved. Highly recommend picking one of these up if your in the HVAC trade.

Doesn't fit.
by RL (1 out of 5 stars)
March 3, 2018

Stay away from this. I highly doubt dewalt makes this. You know why? Because they don't fit! At least not securely. When I put this in my impact, if I move too quickly or turn it pointing down and shake it A LITTLE, it will simply fall out. Meanwhile, my Irwin extension bit stays in secure. Dewalt couldn't have made this, and if they did, it is a sad state of affairs.

Go for the Irwin instead...
by Russell Breznich (2 out of 5 stars)

No DeWalt branding on the item itself, product not found on their site, poorly machined and lacking features that a basic Irwin has... can't hold a non-quick change bit and doesn't eject like the Irwin. This has the feel of an imported knockoff.

A must-have, very important tool for all those tight places!
by Charlie in NW,Top Contributor: Cooking (5 out of 5 stars)

Excellent extender for general purpose screwing, driving, drilling, and so on. It is a 1/4" shank so it fits anything that is a 1/4" shank and hexagonal. Well, that pretty much is just about ANYTHING/EVERYTHING minus serious large tools etc. Otherwise your standard home tools will have the correct sizing for this extension rod.

Very useful in those very tight places!! Often, the drill head won't fit where the job is--having a long extension totally solves tight-space problems. Get one!

Great solution for using regular spade bits to drill very deep holes
by Shoreline shopper (5 out of 5 stars)
March 16, 2017

This provided a perfect solution to drilling deep holes with my spade bits. I tried auger bits for drilling in tree trunks, only to have them get stuck. Then I examined some very long and rather brittle spade bits. I finally stumbled upon these and they have proven to be the perfect solution for drilling those deep holes. They are very sturdy and can be doubled up for an even greater length.

Poor design
by Jeremy Blanchard (1 out of 5 stars)
June 17, 2019

These are much more robustly built than the lighter duty magnetic bit holders but these are not magnetic and the throat of the bit holder is too deep to the point that none of my quick release socket bits have a long enough shank to actually lock in and the small bit drivers, like for deck screws, are so short they don't stick out the end. Both of these bits fit and work well directly in my impact driver.

A very poor design for anything but philips head type driver bits that don't have a shoulder and are more than an inch in length. Very poor design for my needs.

Cheap garbage, not a quik change, takes two hands to insert and remove bits
by Randy W Damson (1 out of 5 stars)
February 16, 2018

Really bad and cheaply made garbage, have to hold the retainer chuck back at the same time you insert or remove a bit, it's not smooth and am guessing by the feel of it it's prone to break or jam. I won't even bother to use it I will buy aneather brand, have a 12 inch bosch that is excellent, but can't find it in 6 inch

Bought for the awkward screws that need to be set ...
by Chris the Electrician (5 out of 5 stars)

Bought for the awkward screws that need to be set and holes you have to drill to snake wires in a finished home. I've had the Irwin equivalent it didn't hold up that long. Also got its 12 inch big brother, both work perfectly even together for an 18 inch extension. Saving me time and money, worth every penny.

Very sturdy!
by Wired Installations LLC (5 out of 5 stars)
March 5, 2018

Perfect example of a tool you'd rather have and not need, than need and not have! This extension works great, holds the bit or driver as it should and makes life simpler overall! The quick-connect is the best feature and works like a champ. I can't tell how many times I've accidentally driven it into a hole and it's still functional!
