An angle screwdriver is a tool with a 90 degree head used in tight spaces. It is used in construction, plumbing, and electrical work. It allows for drilling holes after boards are in place, and angular impact drivers are used on heavy machinery to avoid wrist injury.
An angle screwdriver is a tool that allows you to drive screws into a tight angle. This type of tool is equipped with a 90 degree head which offers the possibility of operating in confined spaces. This particular design is used in tools such as angle drills, angle impact drivers, and cordless angle drivers.
Often in construction there is a need to fasten a panel or wall, but there is not enough space to swing a hammer or operate a pneumatic nailer. The angle driver allows a worker to drive a screw into the tight position and secure the wall. This handy tool is used in construction as well as plumbing and electrical. When running new plumbing through the wall studs and floors of a structure, a plumber often uses the angle driver equipped with a hole saw to drill the holes used in the path of the water lines through the structure.
Electricians also use the angle driver to drill holes through wall studs through which electrical wires must pass. The angle driver also makes drilling between floor joists possible. In many of the tools, the 90 degree angled head is adjustable. This allows the head to pivot into a position where the user can best control and operate it.
Prior to the introduction of these tools, many holes required drilling prior to installing the stud or joist. This slowed down the build process immensely and caused many boards to be ruined due to improperly placed holes. By being able to drill the holes after the boards are in place, the yard is able to maintain a better pace of construction.
Angular impact drivers are often used on heavy machinery. When changing tires or removing large bolts on heavy machinery, the angled impact driver allows the user to leverage rather than simply using a tool that goes straight for the bolt. With the tool angled 90 degrees, the tool becomes its own handle and an operator can leverage to loosen a desired nut or bolt.
The angular driver design allows the operator to hold the tool closer to the body and avoid wrist injury. Without the angle, operators are required to keep the tool straight and it typically stalls when the bit is about to break through the surface being drilled. This causes the tool to spin rapidly and uncontrollably, which can lead to injury.
