Under-Stair Pull-Out Drawers
Retrofit deep, awkward under-stair cavities with full-extension drawers. The 12-inch flexible right-angle shaft lets you drive screws inside tight triangular corners and behind framing. Swap rapidly between pilot bit and driver with the RapidLoad head, and use the magnetic bit support to keep fasteners steady while working overhead or at odd angles.
Alcove Floating Desk with Concealed Brackets
Build a floating desk in a narrow alcove using hidden steel brackets anchored into studs. The right-angle flex shaft reaches anchor points tight to sidewalls where a standard drill won’t fit. The optional side handle provides the leverage needed to drive long lag screws, and the impact-rated design handles tougher fasteners.
Van/RV Overhead Cabinet Install
Install overhead cabinets along a van’s curved roofline, fastening into ribs and hidden anchor plates. The flexible shaft snakes behind trim and around obstacles to reach bracket screws, while the magnetic bit support keeps hardware aligned above your head. Rapid bit changes speed up alternating between pilot drilling and driving.
Headboard with Hidden Charging Compartment
Create a headboard featuring a concealed storage and charging bay. Assemble and fasten panels from inside the tight cavity using the right-angle shaft, and neatly secure cable clips in corners you can’t access straight on. The 1/4" hex quick-connect makes swapping between countersink and driver bits quick and secure.

Build a spiral herb tower by fastening curved slats to a central spine using pocket screws inside tight arcs. The 12-inch flexible shaft reaches recessed pocket holes where a full-size drill can’t, and the side handle helps maintain control when driving into hardwood or composite materials.
