Hello, I’m drilling holes for these screw eyelets and need to get into a hard to reach area, see pic attached. I’d like some help to find a drill bit extension with chuck on the end. My drill bit is small. I only have an extender with a socket. The drill bit needs to go down about 15cm
Also is there an attachment I can use with my drill to screw the eyelet rather than by hand? I will also need this attached to an extender
Hi @dreeped,
I'm not aware of any chucks that will give you that type of depth extension. I could only recommend one of these Kango Hypertorque™ 2mm Impact HSS Drill Bits and a Kango Hypertorque 150mm Impact Extension Bar. Alternatively, there is the Kango 3mm Long Series HSS Drill Bit, though 3mm might be too large, and the bit is only 130mm long, or around 120mm once you have it locked in the chuck.
Regarding a device that could be used to screw the screw eyes in, I'm not aware of a product designed for that or that could be used for that purpose. You might need to make a custom solution. If you took something like this Metal Mate 6.3mm 1m Galvanised Steel Round Solid or one that would fit in your drill, cut it down to 150mm and then cut a slot in one end to accept the eye, that could work to drive them in.
Let me tag @Noyade to see if he has any thoughts.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

The staff suggested a long drill bit and found it was the correct length.
The allen key trick worked perfectly!
Good to see the problem is solved!
One thought was a spare chuck connected to a threaded rod. Cut to whatever length you want.
Cheers and well done!
