Right Angle Drills

 A right angle drill is designed an manufactured to facilitate the drilling of large holes in timber studs and joist in confined spaces and at awkward positions. In a right angle drill the chuck is at a 90 degree angle to the drills body. Because of this design feature it is possible to fit the drill and bit into the confined space between joist and studs allowing the drilling of in line holes to facilitate the installation of electrical wiring and plumbing pipes.

Because right angle drills are primarily designed with the professional trades-person in mind they are top of the line power tools designed and manufactured to operate in extreme conditions with ease. These drills can drill up to 4 1/4 in h holes in large timber members with ease and complete control over the tool itself.

Because they operate at low speeds with high torque with the drill body at 90 degrees to the rotating chuck they are relatively easy to control compared to a conventional drill rotating at high speeds with an in-line body, this ensures that the drill is easy to hold onto in the event of a jammed drill bit saving the operator skin if not a broken wrist.

A right angle drill usually comes in kit form with all the accessories necessary to use the drill and maintain it and change the chuck.

Though the majority of right angle drills are power tools there are cordless versions available from the major manufacturers of power and cordless tools.
