Tools and Hardware Reviews of Makita DA391DWD 3/8-Inch Cordless Angle Drill KitCustomer Review: Not sure you can find a better right angle drill for the money Summary: 5 Stars
Durability and comfort in hand are remakable, once you use it. The rotation direction is easily changed by thumb of trigger hand.
The torque is exceptional, although the variable speed is sensitive. You'll need to go real light on the trigger to engage at very low speed, such as 50-100 rpms, when putting a lot of torque on a screw, to keep from stripping the bit slot of the screw. Once you get used to it, it's easy to live with.
The charger base and carry case are of excellent build quality.
In summation, you may only need to use it 5-10% of the time on given tasks or jobs, but it will be well worth the cost when you can't quite fit a standard drill into a small space to drill or screw.
An immensely useful 'add-on' would be a small drill jig that keeps the drill square [or at a desired angle] to the work, since when you do require to drill in tight spaces, you probaly won't be able to get your head in close enough to 'eyeball' a square angle of the drill to the surface. Might be able to retrofit something though. Minor issue; drill is still superior to most other brands as well.
