Does anyone use an angle drill?

[Scott_D]

Any recommendations?
I have Makita stuff so looking at the keyed and keyless 18v

That's next on my list. Currently just use an Irwin angled bit which doesn't quite cut it. The bare 18v Makita angle drills ain't too bad price wise.

Not sure if keyed or keyless is best

Brad Near on Instagram: “If you have large enough hands, it's pretty comfortable using it one hand. Cradle the Milwaukee M18 cordless hole hawg in your palm and…”

Yeh the 18v Makita ones are alot smaller than that 36v

 

[Best]

I have the 240 volt Makita angled drill and it is good, particularly for holes through timber for waste pipes, on the rare occasion it has to be done

Is it a keyed or keyless chuck?

Old fashioned keyed chuck.
Had it for a lot of years now, but still brand new condition as doesn’t get much use.
I know there used to be 2 models of Makita angle drill at that time - the better one had the handle up at the chuck, which makes it much easier to push the drill while it drills

Stubby impact driver with a flat bit or auger does me for a pipe or cable run through joists, stops with all that wrestling plus I don't put up timber framed buildings very often.

I'd be lost without my angle drill . I use it loads .
It's Makita 240v I have but I've been eyeing up the Milwaukee beasts but reviews have been very mixed.

I use the Dewalt angle drill. It's perfect for drilling joists and for fitting screws to the feet of bath legs. Two speed, so plenty of uses.

I have the Milwaukee M28 which is really good . Had it about 12 years, still going strong.

I also have a Milwaukee M18 hole hawg, the smaller one. Very good also, better than above with spade bits due to higher speed.

I also have the larger Makita 110v one which has a 2speed gear box. Can do 6inch holes no prob.

The flexvolt looks good.

Keyed chucks are better for the torque of these drills
