does this tool lock in position, angled straight?

It does not lock in the angled position. The lock only locks the forward / reverse function. This is a great tool! I have two older models and the latest one which has the lithium battery.

Not really locked, it's more of a detent. It works well either angled or straight.

Yes, just checked my chain; there is an angle guide line inscribed on the top of each cutter link, parallel to cutting edge.

No. The outside of the bracket is smooth and the inside has notches that interlock with notches on the bar itself so you can set your angle accordingly. I was hoping the same thing but it still works out good

Yes, it can go from straight to a pretty large angle. I have never adjusted mine to 90 degrees, but I have adjusted it to almost that angle and it works fine. The motor is out there on the cutting end, so the only thing that has to bend is the wiring (or some sliding contacts) to the motor which is relatively easy as opposed to bending a drive shaft like on a weed eater and other devices where the motor is on the handle.

Did you try to put it on? I know it appears to be round, but mine snaps onto the square drive of the tool just fine. Then, each bit can be locked into the opposite end. Hope this helps!

Mine is straight. I think the 90 degree is an optional accessory with a valve lock. Not included in this package.

No, it can only be angled to the left or right. You might could use some old fashioned igenuity and figure out a way, but it's design does not have that adjustment.

It wouldn't work, since you will be creating "movement" from the "hex" part and it will not transfer to the angled end. In other words (in the position pictured) it will move <--->(horizontally), but not vertically. Of course this applies ONLY if using a hammer drill. I don't know if that answer your question.

It should. This tool is like sharp scissors on a pole so you don't need to bend over.

No they don't "lock" in the opened position. Only the knife and scissors lock in the opened position. I have read some of the other answers to your question saying that the tools "lock" in the opened position. There is a resistance spring to hold them open but to me this isn't "locked". I own some Gerber tools and they have what I call a "lock open" position. You have to slide a locking bar to release an open tool. You can actually "pry" against the lock without having it unlock.

No. The attachment brace is premolded for a round bar. I would not recommend any other shape because I don't think that securing it so that the device won't turn is achievable.

That is not an angle bracket. It is the handle to fix the blade in the desired position. Notice the blade is facing the same direction as the handle. It can be moved to center, left or right.

Yes! The tools provided will help you position what is mounted so that it is locked in place!

Yes it locks in both the in position and when extended. Just make sure the lock handle does not contact anything. I had to notch the trim that on bumps would hit the lock handle and unlock the slide (handle was resting on the trim). After I notched the trim all was good. Great for upgrading to a flat screen in the RV.

Yes...it will point down and up to a 90 degree angle. It seems to have a ratcheting system in the square base near the screw-in section, so you can position the 90 in whatever direction you wish.

Yes, the angle is adjustable by moving the pivot point up or down the vertical rod.

There are 2 screws on the back that can be tightened to lock the rotation at a desired angle. Or, leave them loose to have it rotate freely.
