not very heavy duty
This tool never even made it onto the jobsite. Just testing in the workshop proved too much! The chuck spun out of round, and the motor was taxed and stripped trying to run a 3/4 auger. Even a large Irwin speedbore proved too much. I am O.K with a drill not being able to spin a bit-I will back off and try a smaller size. But this tool just seems to strip the gears way too easily. I tried 2 of these, figuring I might have gotten a lemon, but 2 lemons? The gears sound like they are cheaper quality. I think next time I will look at the small Makita corded or perhaps the Hitachi corded or cordless.

Dewalt DW960K-2 Review
This drill was purchased to help in tight areas of cabinet constuction and repair. It has been used numerous times and has proven to be a worthwhile tool. It is easy to use, and reached all but the hardest to reach places. It has ample power and I would reccomend it to anyone who is considering adding a right angle drill to their inventory.

THE BEST DRILL EVER!!!!!
Why is it that everyone that buys a defective tool must write a negitive review? Just pack it up and send it back! You have no more idea what kind of drill you have than a person that has never purchased one.

As far as durability, any tool can be damaged by dropping it. Don’t blame the tool.
This tool is very ergonomic. My hands are small and it works great for me.

The low center of gravity makes it very steady while sitting on the battery base; much more so than a regular drill which is nose heavy.
Unlike a convential drill, the trigger is over three inches long, and very easy to activate with any part of you hand.

By grasping the drill just above the base and placing the heel of your hand on the back of the head, you can apply pressure to insure fast and firm application of any bit or driver you choose to use.

The other thing I like about this tool is that it is easy to carry on a belt and fits into ANY tool bag or box that I want to use. The convential drill never sits well in my tool bag and it is hard to find a carrier that feels good to me.
I wrapped a velcro strap around the base of the drill and attached a carabiner to the strap and I can hook it to a belt, a belt loop, or even a button hole of my old bid overalls.
The fact that it is easy to use in tight places is only one of the many reasons that I love this tool.
If you think that it is too expensive, rent one first and see for yourself how great it is to operate.
After a month of using my angle drill, I put my regular drill on the shelf.

Excellent idea/ poor execution
I’m a contractor, so I use my tools all the time and rely on them. Most of my hand tools are Bosch, but they don’t have a full size right angle cordless drill, so I purchased the Dewalt. The Dewalt is inferior to Bosch in so many ways. First, the reverse switch is too small and hidden. It’s difficult to switch when you’re under a cabinet or in a tight space and try with just one hand. Secondly, the chuck is difficult to tighten and again requires two hands. Try a Bosch chuck, and you’ll instantly know why the Dewalt chuck is worthless. Third, if it falls, the battery typicall falls out. Hey, no one wants to drop their tools, but it happens. When it does, I just want to pick it up, not reassemble it. So, in a nut shell, I haven’t been impressed and only use this when it’s absolutely necessary for the space. I’ll be selling it soon as I’m getting the new Bosch Lithium drivers. They work great for the occasional tight space with none of the draw backs listed above.

Good drill
The drill has a lot of power and works really well in tight spaces. The handle get a little hot when working for a long time, but other than that it works great.
