I have one of those but being so small with a slight angle makes it difficult to keep the bit engaged in the screw when driving meatier screws .

I've a 90 degree drill/driver chuck attachment from Lidl - works very well indeed!
Best used with square drive or torx head screws.

Looks like this is out over here now.

Yup I ended up buying it off ffx. Really impressed. I had no cam out when I used this with my impact driver even on screws where I could use my impact driver directly. Both with pozidrive and TX woodscrews.

at right angle to impact direction how does that work then 
even if it helps it will wear it out far far quicker than a smooth transfer
and i do fully understand how an impact works with springs stored energy anvils hammers

Exactly the same way a right angle driver works. The only difference being there's a chuck between the right angle gearing and the planetary gear drive and hammer, which theoretically could cause some minor torque loss.
If by what you're saying is correct I'm no better off for spending £120 on a cordless angle driver and would be better off buying this £25 adapter.
See diagram parts 23-27. That's the impact hammer assembly.

as i say i know exactly how an impact works so it seems contrary to what is logical well in my head at least
i am sure it will function fully as designed flawlessly
thanks for taking the time to share your findings

For £25, if it failed, I'd buy another one. It's not something I'd use regularly enough to warrant a cordless right angled drill/driver, which is what I would have done.

surely the adapter does the impacting function the drill just does the rotating. Or maybe ive misunderstood some of the replies.

I think people hear impact and think like a rotary hammer drill. The impact is rotational, not direct like a hammer drill.
The impact in a driver can be anywhere at any angle within the drive train. All it is doing on paper is assisting the rotation of the bit/drive which in turn drives the screw by increasing momentum.
At it's most basic form it is nothing more than a typical drill driver. The hammer and anvil just exert more force on the drive train than a motor and planetary gear reduction can alone.
The tool is "impact ready" which I understand that to mean it can stand the extra stress imparted by an impact driver.
The only way I can see that it does this is to chatter the right angle gears so would need to be extra tough?
