Homemade “wonder pup”

That’s right. The problem in the center is the angle originated by the drill above the bench surface. I was thinking it could be solved with a simple extension (so the drill is out of the bench) or with a wobble extension bar (so it could swivel at an angle). I don’t have (I didn’t even know) these adapters, which for the mechanism of universal joint would surely allow a bigger angle than wobble extensions.
Thanks for all these wonderful ideas.

Or you can go first class and get a flexible socket extension...

That’s another brilliant idea, mklotz.
The good news is I have a 6” flexible extension; furthermore, today I did a try and it works perfectly:

A semi rigid ferrule helps stabilize the joint while driving the screw, and can slide to bend the handle, in order to apply manual clamping pressure. This arrangement is also useful for use with manual screwdriver.

The bad news is, if I have this item, why didn’t I think of that? (Please, don’t answer the question

).
