4.0 out of 5 stars very useful right-angle drill, but..., September 27, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: DEWALT DW161 1/4-Inch 3.2 Amp Right Angle Drill (Tools & Home Improvement)

I bought this drill to use to install metal straps to hold down the floor joists of my house to the plates, most in tight crawl spaces under the house.(hammering nails was not an option due to tight conditions)

Using this drill, I was able to fasten most every location with screws. It had plenty power, to the point that I had to watch the torque: it wanted to twist my wrist. The only problem was, if it had a reverse switch I couldn't find it on the unit. Being able to reverse screws would have been a good feature. That was the only drawback to it.
