Cordless Power Drill

If you have ever gotten into a project and gotten boxed into a corner with distinct obstructions you now the benifit of a cordless right angle drill.  Right angle drills have been the solution for craftsmen for years and they now the value of having a righ angle drill in their tool chest.  In most cases it is not good enough to just have an right angle drill attachment.  The attachments just don't get the job done.  Using an ordinary drill/driver set at a crazy angle or with a flexible drive shaft or a right angle attachment, you know there is not enough torque to meet most needs.

Choose a cordless right angle drill that is right for you and your budget..

Choosing the right cordless right angle drill can be a picky subject.  Quit frankly, these drills are not the most inexpensive.  Especially, if you want quality.  Yeah, you may find manufactures that have cheap right angle drills but they tend to burn out or just don't have the right amount of torque to satisfy most professionals.

So lets look at a few cordless right angle drills that cut the mustard and are made with the professional in mind.

DEWALT DW960K-2 Heavy-Duty 3/8-Inch 18-Volt Ni-Cad Cordless Right Angle Drill

When DEWALT designed this drill they had the professional in mind.  If you own a drill/driver, sooner rather than later you’ll find the need for a right angle drill/driver. And once you’ve used the Dewalt DW960K-2, you’ll wonder how you ever got along without one. Using an ordinary drill/driver set at a crazy angle or with a flexible drive shaft or a right angle attachment, you know there is not enough torque to meet most needs. The DW960-K delivers 310 in./lbs. of torque with an easily switched variable speed reversing control that removes a stuck bit in a hurry. It also removes screws, bolts, or nuts in seemingly inaccessible places in a snap.

Yes, DeWalt make a great right angle drill.  But if you really need to get down and dirty then you need to get this next drill.  its the Milwaukee 0721-21drill.  This drill is perfect for plumbing and electrical applications such as drilling holes to run wire through studs and joists, or boring holes in floors for plumbing venting.

As you can see from the Milwaukee picture that drill will not fit in some very narrow corners.  It just was not designed for that.  But the next drill that I am about to introduce to you is designed for narrow corners.
