An extension for a drill chuck can mean different things. If you are looking for just an extension for a drill bit, bit tip or nut setter that is one thing. If you are looking for an extension for your drill that has a chuck on the end, well that is something altogether different. The Chuck Extender is an extension pole that is available in 3 different sizes and has all kinds of uses. It’s such a simple tool but one that can be hard to find simply because it may be hard to describe what exactly you are looking for to someone. Hopefully this post will help out.
Chuck Extender Drill Chuck Extension Overview
As mentioned above, the Chuck Extender is an extension pole for your drill. It has a stud on one end that will chuck into your drill and on the other end of the pole is a chuck. So ultimately as the name indicates, it extends the reach of your drill. The tool is available in 3 different sizes. The CE-2 has a fixed 27.5” length and is typically used for drilling holes from above as well as drilling screws from above. This is a great back saver! The CE-6 version is telescopic from 40.5″- 64.5 and the CE-12 extends from 77″ – 139.5″. The longer versions are typically used for overhead work. Because they have the keyless chuck on the end, they are a true drill chuck extension tool. You can chuck in anything you would chuck in your drill.
My Favorite Drill Chuck Extension Application
I have heard of all types of uses for the Chuck Extender extension tool. They include cleaning brushes, magnetic sockets for adding more screws to overhead track, and trailer deck repair. My favorite application and I wish I had a picture, is a customer who was installing a polished DC-3 wing half on end as a chimney for his fireplace. He was going to use the drill chuck extension with a hole saw to drill through the ribs of the wing. By the way if you are reading this and you are that person, send me a picture please!
Where To Find The Chuck Extender Drill Chuck Extension
This is such a neat tool, but it can be hard to find as it really can be hard to search for and find. All three sizes of the Chuck Extender drill chuck extension are currently available here on Amazon. I posted a video below with a nice overview of the tool as well.
