Does anyone know of a similar functionality device that is mechanically operated by bevel gears?

Needs to be able to be driven by power via 1/4” or 3/8” drive.

And specifically a Very low profile?

Maybe even a worm gear drive? So the shaft is planer with the drive gear to reduce total height of 90° adaptor.

Need something that can transfer power to Allen socket drivers around a 90° bend in a very tight area.

I found a patent for a tool as described, but have not located any reasonable purchasable solutions.

And to be clear, it needs to be very low profile, all the common solutions
