Abstract
An angled adapter for coupling a tool bit to a tool includes a housing and a transmission assembly positioned in the housing. The transmission assembly is configured to convert an input torque about a first axis from the tool to an output torque about a second axis acting on the tool bit. The second axis is disposed at an angle relative to the first axis. The angled adapter also includes a shank supported by the housing and including a tool coupling portion configured to couple to the tool. The tool coupling portion has an outer dimension. The shank also includes a transmission coupling portion coupled to the transmission assembly, and an intermediate portion extending between the tool coupling portion and the transmission coupling portion. The intermediate portion has a diameter that is less than the outer dimension.
