If you need a no-frills right angle drill, this will do it. It's not overly powerful, and struggles to drill larger holes in 2x lumber with spade bits or augur. I've used mine a fair amount, and it's held up well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve went through two of these right angle drills now. First drill was a disappointment and didn’t last long, motor burnt up after a few times using it. Ordered my second one in June (hoping DeWalt had upgraded the motor), burnt up on the first day of using it. I was using a 5/8 Diablo paddle bit, started getting hot after a short time using it, and then the motor burnt up. Before the two DeWalt angle drills, I had a Ryobi angle drill, and it literally outlasted both of these. I’d hoped I had just gotten a bad one on the first one I bought, but obviously not. Would not purchase this drill until DeWalt comes out with a better version.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Its not the greatest quality, but it definitely comes in handy from time to time. To my knowledge, this is the only right angle drill DeWalt makes, which I find a little disappointing. I also don't like that its only a 3/8" chuck, because it prevents me from using some of my bigger hole saws and augers. As a trade professional, I would absolutely buy a "XR" or "Atomic" right angle drill with a half inch chuck.

The unit has lots of torque and basically works as advertised. However, the brushes in the motor keep failing. This occurs after the motor has stalled several times drilling with a larfe spade in seasoned wood. I use a 4AH battery witht he drill. There is no over-current protection for the motor and generally it runss very hot under load. A re-design wiith a brushless motor like the Rigid or Ryobi models would be appreciated
