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

I first bought one of these for use at work. Then I bought one for use at home. The features I like most are: (1) the DeWalt float battery charge system that allows me to have a battery ready at any time, since my cordless tool use may be times of intense use separated by many days of no use. My Makita cordless system won't let me do this, and when I need my Makita angle drill, I have to wait an hour for a battery, which may be dead, to charge up; (2) the DeWalt 18 volt batteries that this drill comes with are compact, not the regular XRP kind. Since I will usually use an angle drill in tight areas, I often need all the help I can get maneuvering into the space I have, and I rarely use an angle drill for long enough periods to fully drain a battery. I have a full spectrum of DeWalt 18 volt tools, so I can grab a full size battery if I need to; (3) the trigger is easy to get to, and I can use it with my normal grip. I don't have to grapple with the drill to get it turning; (4) The drill is surprisingly well balanced in my hand, though it doesn't look that way in the picture. The 3/8 inch chuck has always been big enough for me. On the rare instances where I've needed a larger hole, I drill a pilot hole and ream to size with a turned shank bit.

I wish DeWalt would make an 18 volt random orbit sander. I'd buy one--or two--immediately. Get more detail about DEWALT DW960K-2 Heavy-Duty 3/8-Inch 18-Volt Ni-Cad Cordless Right Angle Drill.
