DEWALT Right Angle Drill Attachment 1.5" Compact Magnetic Adapter - Impact Ready, Metal-Gear Housing

DEWALT's Impact Ready 1.5-inch right angle drill attachment (DWARA120) converts any 1/4" hex impact or drill driver into a compact 90° tool for fastening and drilling in tight spaces.

This DEWALT right angle adapter is engineered to bring access, retention and durability to close-quarter jobs. With a slim 1.5-inch front-to-back profile, a metal-gear housing and a strong through-magnet that holds fasteners in place, the DWARA120 is built to improve efficiency where a full-size drill can't fit. It fits any 1/4" (6.35 mm) internal hex impact or drill driver and is optimized for impact-rated use.

How does this adapter help when working in cramped areas?

The 90° orientation lets you reach screwheads and drill points that are perpendicular to the tool body, eliminating awkward wrist angles and bulky repositioning. Its short 1.5" footprint keeps the bit close to the work surface so you can work inside cabinets, between joists, or in boxed sections.

• 1.5" front-to-back profile for minimal clearance requirements
• Right-angle design provides access behind studs, in cabinets, and between framing
• Fits standard 1/4" hex bits so you don’t need special tooling

Is the DWARA120 durable enough for impact drivers?

Yes — the unit features a metal-gear case and impact-ready construction designed to withstand the torque and vibration of impact drivers. The robust build reduces wear during heavy-duty fastening so it stands up to jobsite demands.

• Metal-gear housing for strength and long service life
• Impact-rated compatibility to handle high-torque tools
• Precision gearing for reliable bit engagement and reduced slippage

Will it keep screws and bits from falling out in awkward positions?

The DWARA120 projects a strong magnet through the nose to retain fasteners and bits while you work in vertical or overhead positions. That magnetism improves speed and reduces dropped hardware, which is especially useful when working alone or in confined spaces.

• Through-magnet projects magnetic force to the tip for fastener retention
• Fewer dropped screws when working overhead or inside enclosures
• Compatibility with common magnetic driver bits and sockets

How easy is it to attach and use with existing tools?

Installation is straightforward: insert the 1/4" internal hex of your impact or drill driver into the adapter and you're ready. Because it accepts standard hex bits, it integrates seamlessly into existing kits without special adapters or bit changes.

• Quick-connect 1/4" internal hex fits most impact and drill drivers
• Works with standard hex-shank driver bits and sockets
• No extra parts required — plug into your existing tool and go

Who is this for? The DEWALT DWARA120 is aimed at electricians, plumbers, carpenters, cabinetmakers and DIYers who need reliable access to confined or awkward fastening locations. If you frequently work inside cabinets, between studs, on framing, or in tight mechanical enclosures and use impact drivers or drills, this compact, magnetic right-angle adapter is designed to save time, reduce frustration, and extend the reach of your existing tools without compromising durability.
