Designed to reach the industry's seemingly unreachable tight spots and corners, an angle drill is a brilliant little tool that will do nothing less than enhance and simplify your working experience. With a compact body design, an angled chuck, and industrial power, the angle drill is built for efficient drilling and driving, sometimes though, it can be difficult to efficiently find the drill that best suits your specific needs. To help ease the stress of the search, I've done some research for you and found the following four tools generally sum-up what's best about the cordless angle drilling community.
To begin with the most heavy-duty, high-performance drill, Makita's BDA350 (18v)angle drill is designed to deliver superior precision and maximum productivity. With 121 in/lbs of torque and 0 - 1,800 RPM, the drill can master almost every driving and drilling application with power to spare. Variable speeds put you in control over the tool's wide range of capabilities, and designed with a comfortable, ergonomic shape, the tool is simple to use and comfortable to operate all day. Its slim, efficient design makes the tool perfectly suited for any craftsmen from plumbers to carpenters to electricians - and because the drill is also cordless, it is portable, mobile, and convenient. The tool also has a 3/8" keyed metal chuck with a low profile and enhanced gripping power giving you even better access to hard to reach spaces and a better grip on your bits; this means not only that the will drill keep better hold of your bits, but that you will achieve more with them. A built-in LED light illuminates work areas for optimal precision in dim corners and tight spaces, and powered by Makita's lithium-ion battery system, the BDA350 has vastly extended battery life and run-time. The kit ranges in price from about 0 - 0.
Drill Lithium Ion
This next tool is slightly less awesome for not using lithium-ion technology (which I happen to be quite partial to), but all that is made up for in good craftsmanship, and perhaps more importantly, a great price. Makita's DA312DWD (12v, 3/8") angle drill ranges in price from about 0 - 0, and is compact and powerful to deliver craftsmen some of the most efficient angle drilling in the business. Utilizing a 2.6AH NiMH battery the tool is reliably strong, and because of its compact design, the tool is a real casanova of close quarter drilling and driving. The drill's 3/8" chuck is keyless for the simplest bit insertion and removal, and with a variable speed trigger (ranging from 0 - 800 RPM) operators have complete control over the tool. An electric brake stops the chuck with uncommon quickness contributing to both your safety and working precision on the job. Being compact and lightweight at only 3.5 lbs, the tool is also extremely well balanced for optimized portability and maneuverability, and with overload protection, the motor is protected from burnout during rigorous applications. Ultimately, the tool is a supremely tough and generally affordable solution to close quarter drilling and driving.
For lighter-duty users that still expect high-quality, Dewalt's DW960K-2 (18v) cordless right angle drill-driver is a perfect match; costing about 0 - 5, this is a quality, comprehensive kit at a price that is difficult to resist. The DW960K-2, however isn't just a good price, its a great tool as well built with innovation and versatility to deliver an angle drill with enough power to back up its sleek design. With two-speeds ranging from 0 - 500 and 0 - 1,500 RPM, the tool is flexible through a variety of applications, and with a reversing capability the tool brings craftsmen more working options on the job. A multi-grip trigger (which allows users reach tighter spaces while still accessing the trigger) improves control and comfortability on the job, and designed a sealed ball bearing construction and right angle transmission, the tool boasts impressive, durable longevity. The tools 3/8in plastic, two-sleeve chuck helps get even closer in close-quarter applications, and as the tool weighs only 4.7 lbs, it is strikingly comfortable and convenient in every work space. Altogether, the tools unique design and versatile power make it a truly perfect tool for any electrician, plumber, or general craftsmen.
Ranging in price from about 0 - 0, Dewalt's DW965K-2 (12v, 3/8") cordless right angle drill-driver is basically the best deal you're likely to find for a quality cordless angle drill. The DW965K-2 is an uncommonly versatile tool with the big power to work through challenging conditions and materials, and two-speeds (ranging from 0 - 400 and 0 - 1,200 RPM) plus reversing to help you manage a host of applications. With a sleek design and a maximum output of 165 unit watts, the drill is a brilliant performer in tight spaces as well as in challenging industrial materials. A multi-grip trigger keeps you comfortable as you work, and at only 4.1 lbs the tool is ultra lightweight for comfortable operation during continuous work or awkward operation. The tool's all ball bearing construction and right angle transmission ensure durable high-performance throughout the life of the tool ultimately rendering this little sucker, an industrial performer at a price that no one can argue with.
In the long and short of it, with cordless power and angled versatility, one of these models is sure to fill the angle drilling void in your life. Good luck and happy crafting!
