I'm in the market for one of these or any other small right-angle
drill.

Bosch 1132VSR:
Is the on-off switch a slide type switch?
Does the switch turn off when you let go or do you have to pull it
back?
(you could really get jammed up if it is not a momentary on switch)
Is there a second handle or a threaded hole to add one?
(doesn't look like it from the picture)


Makita DA3000R:
Did Makita add the hole for the handle ot take it away?
(the picture on Amazon doesn't have it but the one at Tyler does)
http://www.amazon.com/Makita-DA3000R-8-Inch-Variable-Speed/dp/B00002269W
http://www.tylertool.com/makda338vsra.html
(different model number at Tyler DA3010F)

Dewalt 960:
Is this a 'real' DeWalt tool or the crappy 18V drill I bought at
Lowes for $99

Others:
I can't use the Milwaukee or other 1/2 r-angle drills because I only
have 7" to work in
recommendations?

Get a right angle adapter, they usually cost around $40.

Which Milwaukee? If the Milwaukee "close quarter" is too big, then the
Makita and Bosch you mention, which are all almost identical in size, may be
also.

I own the above and use it when installing slides in kitchen cabinets and
other tight spots.

If it helps, the head of the drill, from the top to the mouth of the chuck,
is a bit less than 3 3/4".

That looks like a good ergonomic design, especially for a corded drill.

Tell us about it. How powerful is it? I presume it is only for small jobs.

Does that monsterous trigger ever go off before you want it to?

How is it anglewise in terms of reaching back into a cabinet and using it?

Does the cord get in the way?

Etc, etc!!

More power than a cordless ... I've never come even close to bogging it
down, if that's what you mean.

> Does that monsterous trigger ever go off before you want it to?

Never been a problem ...the trigger/paddle is a variable speed control, so
the more you squeeze down, the faster it goes.

> How is it anglewise in terms of reaching back into a cabinet and using it?

Works like you'd expect it too ... IOW, it does what I bought it for. :)

That said, if you put a 8" drill bit on it, expect that will need more
clearance. ;)

> Does the cord get in the way?

Never been a problem with the "close quarter" part, by design.

> Etc, etc!!

It's like any other" specialty" tool ... when you really need it, it saves a
lot of cussing/blue air, other than that, you may forget you have it.
