DEWALT DW965K-2 12-Volt NiCd 3/8-Inch Cordless Right Angle Drill/Driver Kit

I had one of these for about a year. I own lots of Dewalt cordless tools, and have been generally very happy with them. I use the heck out of my standard 12v drill, so this right-angle drill seemed like a natural addition. I found the body to be pretty large and clumsy, which kind of defeats the idea of getting something for working in confined spots. Because it was hard to hold and manipulate, I had a hard time driving screws without slipping the bit out of the head frequently. After a while, I just gave up on using this and found other ways to get the work done. (If you're interested, I have used a Milwaukee corded "close quarters" drill and really like it.)

I got this on closeout at a local home center for a steal. Didn't think I would really use it much but I now find myself using it all the time. Great for small or awkward spaces. Good battery life. Fits well and balances nicely in the hand. It's pricey but very handy.

After returning a refurbished unit that did not have variable speed, this new DeWalt was exactly what I wanted. Great variable speed, dual range, right-angle drill with two batteries, charger and case . . . who could ask for anything more?
