<p>Wax paper transfer. Reverse image ink-jet printed onto wax paper. Position and rub with a credit card or similar.</p>

<p>Another tool I find very useful, an offset power head driving attachment, for angle driving and in close quarters.</p>
<p>Offered by Milwaukee Tools.</p>
<p>It can be used in 360 degree positions.</p>
<p>The auxiliary arm, has an indexing design feature, that permits all angle pivoting adjustment---up, down, both sides, and at angles.</p>

<p>Quick-Change chuck adaptors, such as shown, or the like, can be inserted into the drill chuck,</p>
<p>for 1/4" hex driver tools/bits, and the like.</p>
<p>Works for me.</p>

<p>I keep these at-the-ready with the drill-driver tools.</p>

<p>Thanks Tim, all great ideas. I appreciate everyone's help on this. I bought a Genesis cordless drill, but I think my old rachets might have more power. I guess if I'm going to work like the big boys I might have to by some of the big boy tools. <grin> Bill in Las Vegas</p>

<p>I ran into this situation this past week-end. Fortunately, I had the pocket holes drilled prior to the assembly. Getting into the tight spots to install the screws created the problem. I have a Craftsman NexTec drill that is fairly small, that allowed me to get to most of them. I also have a ¼" flex drive that allowed me to get into the tighter ones. I do have a 90º angle attachment, but didn't want to remove the chuck on one of the drills to install the attachment. I've also got some…</p>

<p>hey bill,</p>
<p>sorry to hear you had problems. really, kreg joinery is the bomb when it comes to simple, strong joints. i've had to be pretty creative also, getting into tight spots. usually i use on my right angle drill with a short bit to get into teeny tiny spaces. i didn't exactly <em>need</em> another drill, but ryobi makes really cool green tools ;-)</p>

<p>if you have an air compressor, I really like to use my air drill, it is very compact and powerful. You just have to be careful not to strip the hole by over tightening. you can buy this one at Harbor Freight Tools.</p>
