I read about 30 reviews and I think most people that break it are probably applying too much torque to the flex shaft/gear head. Basically, if the flex shaft starts distorting then you're over the torque limit and it will break if you keep going:

To cherry pick a review:

Great tool if used with care and precision!

I used this to apply Rok hardware soft close adapters to multiple cabinets and drawers. Made the job much easier! Just need to watch how much pressure is applied and back off when excess twist happens, reset and go slowly. I would recommend only using with a variable speed drill!

Used every day for over a year!

I work as an appliance and hvac technician. This tool has been a blessing in so many situations, I use it every day to get into places where otherwise would be a challenge. I was skeptical when reading reviews about this thing breaking but decided to give it a try. After about a year of use it has gotten a bit flimsy but still gets the job done with no issues. Definitely recommend!

Looking to the one with a left angle. Right angle is too common.
Great if it works, but the reviews suggest otherwise. I'll pass

12" flexible shaft could be bery useful tool in some applications😏.
Keep in mind these are not designed for high torque applications so it's more of a convenience thing (to get that screw in weird position/angle, use small hex drill bit kind of thing). I wouldn't rely on it to drill through 2x4s with over 1/2" spade bits (it might handle few holes but then gears will give in).

reviews are terrible, this does not seem to be a slick deal if you get 1-2 used out of 17 bucks.

Same price at Lowe's and in stock at my store. YMMV. Use your discounted gift card and save more.
