I occasionally get frustrated with pocket screws -- especially ones sunk in thick material -- by how the bit will stop engaging the screw head as the screw goes deeper and the drill chuck forces the machine to angle away as it contacts the wood.  A small lightbulb went off in my head this weekend, and I realized I could use the eccentric chuck on my T18 to keep the drill at the optimum angle most of the way through the drive.

Same here, 150mm Kreg bit although interesting point about the offset chuck for use in cramped conditions where the 150mm may make the overall bit/drill length too long. Had this with some noggin installs between floor joists where plumbing presented some interesting space challenges!
