Abstract

An angle drive attachment having an adjustable handle is provided. The angle drive includes an input shaft, an input shaft housing, a transmission, a handle mount, a handle, and an output socket. The handle allows the angle drive attachment to be adaptable to working environments having limited space or odd configurations. The input shaft rotates about the input axis of rotation and carried by the input shaft housing and drives the transmission. The output socket is connected to the transmission and rotates about an output axis of rotation and connects to a working bit. The handle mount mounts the handle to the input shaft housing. The handle, in cooperation with the handle mount, may be rotated about the input shaft housing, angled relative to the input shaft housing, and positioned axially linear along the input shaft housing.
