It also didn't fit my hand very well.I found it difficult to apply a good amount of pressure onto the drill bit and work the trigger at the same time with one hand.In the end I sent it back and purchased the Milwaukee 0375-6 3.5 Amp 3/8-Inch Close Quarter Drill. I figured this would be a great drill to use.When I received the drill I was disappointed. I was suprised by how large it was.but that's probably my fault (I probably could've figured that out by doing more research first). My first thought was that they had sent me a refurbished drill.but after closer inspection I figured it was new, just dirty.
First off, I have to say that I own several DeWalt tools and LOVE them. Granted the milwaukee drill is corded, but it is REALLY nice - Very smooth - Easy to control the variable speed. It felt heavier than my full-size 18 volt Craftsman cordless drill. I'm not a pro - I use mine for working around the house and general personal construction projects.
It also looked like it had been used (slight scuffing on the chuck and surrounding area).Also, the drill was way bigger and heavier than I expected. So I now only have the frustration of dealing with a cord and a keyed chuck.but the drill fits my hand nice and feels easier to use.Anyhow, that's just my 2 cents on the DeWalt right-angle drill. I wanted to get a right-angle drill for getting into hard-to-reach and confined areas (between joists, into corners, back of cabinets, etc). Granted, these are just my own opinions - but, hey, they're all I have to go on, right.The drill came right out of the box dirty.not a good first impression.
It is fantastic. I have a custom cabinet shop, and I use the right angle drill for tight spaces while building and assembling the cabinet boxes. I can't say enough about the drill.
this drill has a good balance of being lighter than the 18v and powerful enough, to do about as well as the 18v.
I highly recommend this drill, it is a great product.
When I'm in a tight space and need to reverse direction on the drill I end up removing the entire drill to activate the reverse switch. I generally like the drill for getting into tight spaces. One draw back is the reversing switch is in a very awkward place.
