Contractors and DIYers, this Makita right angle drill is an absolute lifesaver for those impossible-to-reach spots! The compact design is only 12-3/8 inches long, but it packs serious power with up to 245 inch-pounds of torque from that Makita-built motor. The variable speed control goes from 0 to 1,100 RPM, giving you perfect control whether you're drilling pilot holes or driving screws in tight quarters. What's really impressive is how lightweight it is - just 2.7 pounds with the 2.0Ah battery, so you can work overhead or in awkward positions without your arms getting tired. The slide-style battery gives it much better balance than those bulky pod-style batteries, and the built-in LED light is brilliant for illuminating dark work areas. I've used mine for everything from plumbing under sinks to electrical work in crowded junction boxes - places where a regular drill just wouldn't fit. The keyless chuck makes bit changes quick and easy, and the ergonomic barrel grip is comfortable even during extended use. If you need more runtime, it's compatible with the 4.0Ah batteries too. The battery protection circuit prevents overloading and overheating, which is typical Makita quality. Seriously, if you do any work in confined spaces, this right angle drill will quickly become one of your most-reached-for tools in the arsenal.
