I really have nothing good to say about this product or Amazon.com. i would like to review this product, but since it is a discontinued item that Amazon still offers for sale on its' website, and then the wrong product is shipped from the manufacturer.
This tool is no longer available but Northern Tool won't tell you this until and after they send you the wrong one and want you to pay for their mistake. This tool is an excellent tool but Northern Tool is not compliant with its customers. Great tool lousey vendor. I ordered this tool from Northern Tool. They sent me the wrong one and then blamed it on Amazon and wanted me to pay for their mistake.
All in all, not a very good buying experience. This particular drill has been discontinued by the company selling it. They sent a different drill that they had replaced this item for, and did not inform us about it until they had already shipped it.
Once you get used to it, it's easy to live with.The charger base and carry case are of excellent build quality.In summation, you may only need to use it 5-10% of the time on given tasks or jobs, but it will be well worth the cost when you can't quite fit a standard drill into a small space to drill or screw.An immensely useful 'add-on' would be a small drill jig that keeps the drill square [or at a desired angle] to the work, since when you do require to drill in tight spaces, you probaly won't be able to get your head in close enough to 'eyeball' a square angle of the drill to the surface. Durability and comfort in hand are remakable, once you use it. Minor issue; drill is still superior to most other brands as well. Might be able to retrofit something though. The rotation direction is easily changed by thumb of trigger hand.The torque is exceptional, although the variable speed is sensitive. You'll need to go real light on the trigger to engage at very low speed, such as 50-100 rpms, when putting a lot of torque on a screw, to keep from stripping the bit slot of the screw.
Works great for me. Try working in a tight spot on cabinet hinges. Mikita right angle drill is the one for the job.
