Is there an extension that coils or changes angle to drill screws in tight places that the drill won't fit exist?

Dewalt makes a flex extension. It works but I wouldn't try it with an impact even though they claim it's impact rated.

A solid 90* extension is probably more useful than the spring drive adapters.

They make right angle adapters like this one:

I have one, and I've used it a couple times. Its pretty awkward to use. I only use it if I absolutely have to.

There are also flexible extensions like this:

They're also pretty awkward to use. The last time I used one I broke it. Too much torque too much flex and the internal spring snapped in half.

I have a flex one. Pretty much useless. You cannot put any pressure on it or it just bends and flops around. I would get a 90 degree one if that will work.
