DEWALT DW966K 14.4 Volt 3/8-Inch Right Angle Drill/Driver Kit (makita cordless drills) Overview
DeWalt's 14.4-volt right-angle drill/driver is an exciting new niche tool. Designed specifically for installers (or woodworkers who find themselves in tight places), DeWalt's right-angle drill adds the convenience of a cordless, without sacrificing of power. Cranking a maximum of 210 inch-pounds, the drill packs considerably more torque than its 9.6-volt competitors, which makes a big difference when tightening larger fasteners in tight places. Beyond the increased torque, what really sets this drill apart is its unique elongated rubber-trigger design. The tool fits comfortably in your hand no matter where you grip the handle and, thanks to the oversize trigger, you're able to squeeze the trigger from all sorts of hand positions. As a result, we were able to fit into some surprisingly awkward spots. This feature also extends your overhead reach by several inches--something cabinet installers, in particular, will appreciate. The fan-cooled motor holds up nicely under strain. The two-speed gearbox lets you gear down for torque or gear up if you need, say, to spin a paddle bit in a tight space. Of course, we were nervous that the larger 14.4-volt battery would make this tool unnecessarily cumbersome, but we were pleased by how compact and balanced DeWalt's new battery design really is.
