Sometimes you win and sometimes you don't at HF.
I bought a thick pack of emery cloth there and ended up tossing it because
it was crap. OTOH, when I needed an electric impact to break my crankshaft
pulley bolt free (replace fwd seal), I got one at HF for the same price as 2
days rental and I didn't have to do laps to the rental place when I could
get back to putting things back together for a few days.
The quality on this tool isn't great, but as I use an impact maybe once in
six months, it'll probably last the rest of my life!

I buy a lot of stuff from Harbor Freight, and with most of it, I'm quite
happy. I bought one of those right angle adapters and it is junk -- the
gears don't mesh right and the chuck is similarly bad.

Take a look at this:

Our local toll rental carries right angle drills.

I saw at the Miami boat show a salesman demonstrating an adaptor that
when attached to the drill you could adjust the angle of the drive more
than just a 90 degree fitting. (Should have bought it) I need to drill
into the coaming through heavy glass and tap into a metal backing plate
and the bottom holes clearance is less that 11/2" above the deck. Any
suggestions out there??

This was probably what you saw:

Or at least something similar in concept. This attachment can be used in
many different angles.
