Milwaukee 3107-6 7.0 Amp 1/2-Inch Right Angle Drill with D-Handle
As everyone knows, both plumbing and electrical work require drilling in tight spots. While the Milwaukee Hole Hawg may be the choice for most professional plumbers and electricians, this less-expensive right-angle drill is a solid option to consider for the same applications. Featuring a slim, lightweight design and great versatility, Milwaukee's right-angle drill has a 1/2-inch chuck and three speed ranges and is fully adjustable. The head and handle swivel 360 degrees and can be locked tight in any position, allowing you to fit this drill anywhere this drill could possibly fit. HVAC contractors can use this drill with bits to 4-5/8 inches without a problem. And, if necessary, the right-angle mechanism can be removed and the drill converted to straight D-handle use. If you have major remodel or construction plans, this is a smart drill to consider. --Tim Block

Milwaukee 3107-6 7.0 Amp 1/2-Inch Right Angle Drill with D-Handle Reviews
Just put in a self-feeding auger bit, and away you go. Also, it's perfect for NORMAL jobs like holes for wiring in studs. If you need to drill through old, full dimension oak floor joist, (very tough job) this thing will do it EASILY. Buy it. Can't beat it.
Not only is it a Milwaukee tool but a great tool at a great price.
You want power. Comfortable grip and a very reliable brand. Tremendous torque yet not too heavy. This drill has it.
I found it indispensible when I needed to bore a 2" hole from below through a stud plate and subfloor between 12" floor joists right over a nasty concrete foundation wall. I would warn anyone to think ahead and be aware you can get some terrific torque quickly if you get some bit binding while drilling so use some care or you could strain a wrist quickly.or worse if you are in an awkward position as I find myself at times.
And you can get those true right angle holes right where you want them in most cases. Like my heavy duty Milwaukee hammer drill, which I did fortunately have at that time, the angle drill is obviously a durable workhorse meant for serious drilling/boring.
I just wish I had had this tool when I built our cabin. Drilling studs for electrical and plumbing with a conventional drill gives you angled holes in most cases which can be troublesome.
I really like this powerful tool. For certain jobs, its simply one of those tools you can hardly do without.
Add the self-feed bits and you also won't usually have to force feed or muscle it around as much.
I intend for it to be my heavy duty drill for many years to come. It has become an occasional use tool, for when the cordless drill (now 18v) won't cut it, or when the job calls for a RA drill. Now that the house is done, I don't use it as often. This was JUST THE TICKET. I intended to not spend much on tools, but I needed something tougher. We were building a house and we did quite abit ourselves, one thing was the wiring.
My puny 14.4v (at the time) cordless was just way underpowered to bore through 2x's one after the other. This tool is a very powerful drill that seems well-built. It is a Power-house.
