I used it for 1 difficult task that would have required more rework if I didn't buy it. I'm glad I have it now for other weird tasks that come up. It comes with no storage container and is a nuisance to store because it's long, has lots of weird shapes, and is probably a little fragile. The documentation is just a graphic printed on the packaging.

One of the negative reviews says that they bought 50 for a work site and it didn't fit their needs, and I would agree with their criticisms and say that it's probably not for building a skyscraper. But it's good for a regular handyperson. It's a good compromise between features, functionality, and cost. For context, $20 on amazon will get you something that can drive a screw at a right angle, but this can do more than that.

Since the documentation for this is terrible, I'll explain what it does. There are 3 handles for 4 modes of operation. 1) The little perpendicular handle attaches to the 90-degree head, which then the head goes into the drill/driver. 2) The medium-size handle attaches to the 90-degree head, and the handle itself goes into the drill/driver. 3) The long flexible handle can slide back, exposing the bit socket, and operate alone without the 90-degree head, and 4) The long flex handle can slide forward and attach to the 90-degree head. I've used all the modes and I think they're good. The little perpendicular handle is... little... but being cheap and small is a feature of this product, not a bug. It works for what it does, and that's all it needs to do.

My only criticism is that because it's so complicated and unusual, it should come with a little laminated instruction card and a soft case with elastic loops to hold each part. I have to store it in a big ziploc freezer bag, haha.

Bits seat deeply in the 90-degree, so there's a hole in the back of it just wide enough to press a phillips head or random screw inside to push the bit out the front.
