I have the excellent, highly recommended light-weight LXT set with drill and impact drivers, and wanted a tool for close quarters. I chose this impact over the drill model as I like the fast (unfeelable) tapping that more easily drives screws and removes them. Be aware the other right angle drill has a manual chuck that needs a key handy and this unit only has the hex configuration with collet, so the owner needs the type of pop-in hex bits for drills and screw types most common today, which are superior and not hard to find (requires no re-tightening like the collet type). Very comfortable, nice light that shines where you are working, easy to use, very small head design, fits in small places, well balanced and great name for quality tools. I find I use it most of the time; comes with a handy belt hanger.
I highly recommended this tool and it is nice to use the same battery as the LXT series (comes with no battery or charger). Instead of having a variety of drills and batteries to re-charge and keep track of, this goes well with the LXT series and keeps it simple. It is a very nice addition to my tools for the DIY'er that I am, and likely great for a professional as it feels very well made and has a low profile for tight spaces.

Purchased this item recently, and used it to drive a variety of exterior/interior screws as well as to drill into wood. Very pleased with its performance and capabilities. Compared to other manufacturers' right angle offerings, this unit may be the best choice for a lot of people.
I needed to do some work in areas with very little overhead clearance, and was not relishing the thought of using either of my two angle adapters/converters to do the job (I have a variable-angle as well as a fixed 90-degree drill adapter). Both adapters are keyed (chucked), are very cumbersome when attached to a drill (requiring two hands to position), and the thought of using either contraption to drive screws without slipping and marring the work surface isn't pleasant.
When the Makita BTL061 arrived, I was pleased with its build quality, which is solid and bulletproof. The head casing is made of metal, and can rotate and lock at various positions (although then the trigger and led light will no longer be inline with the driver head). The unit will accept either the 1.5 or the 3.00 AH lithium ion battery packs (not all tools in the LXT series will accept both). The led light, which stays lit for ~10 seconds after trigger release, comes in very handy when you're working in dark corners or recessed areas. The unit was made in Japan, and came with a belt holder and one short double ended Phillips drive bit.
The business end is very compact, compared to the other right angle drill/drivers I've seen, and certainly more compact than my angle adapters. With appropriate low-clearance bits, this will allow the user to squeeze into much tighter spaces. Torque control is manual, but it's very controllable with the variable-speed trigger. Although it isn't rated to 1,300 in. lb. as my straight impact driver (also a Makita) this unit provided more than enough power to drive whatever fasteners I needed. In fact, the unit was so strong that it sheared off the head of a screw when I inadvertently hit a hardened burl in the wood (I had to core out the snapped screw, but that's another story).
Unless you anticipate doing way more drilling than driving, I'd recommend buying this unit rather than a right angle drill. With hexed drill bits, you can easily drill with this unit. It may not appear to be as precise but if you anchor the bit into the material slightly and start slowly you'll get the exact same results as with a dedicated drill. Conversely, if you try to drive a screw with a drill instead of an impact driver, you'll be prone to slippage/stripping, and you'll be extending more force and effort to get the job done. In other words, this impact driver will be more versatile than a plain drill/driver. I wish I had purchased the BTL061 right away rather than wasted $60+ on my two adapters (which I don't see using again).
In summary, the BTL061 is a very well built, versatile tool which I can recommend without any reservations. It really proves its worth in those instances where you need its right angle form factor, and I've used it in place of my normal impact driver at other times.

I recently did a large project in my house and had received this unit for X-mas.
One of the larger parts of my project involved getting about 1000 screws into tight places with precision and consistent torque. This tool really delivered great results.
I looked at other 90-degree converters for regular drills and there was just too much bulk added from a standard drill. Also, if you read carefully, most 90-degree add-ons are not rated for high torque so they may crack after heavy use.
The build quality of this unit is fantastic. It's built like a tank.
The unit accepts regular sized bits and that means quick bit changes are a snap.
The only thing I wish it came with was a snap-on chuck so I could put drill bit on it easily. I do have some hex-slotted drill bits which I can use in a pinch.

Excellent (with notes about bits)
It's a really excellent product. Compare its torque rating with other right-angle drivers/drills, even with ones that aren't right angle. Very powerful. Read more

not very strong
I really expected this tool to have more power/torque. You will need to find a flush mount adapter for take advantage of the tool.
