86 12 Brutus Posted January 3, 2021 Author Share Posted January 3, 2021 They work for smaller drill bits. I would not try anything to big with them. I have small bits so i'm good there. Thanks very much for the advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
85lebaront2 Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 I have small bits so i'm good there. Thanks very much for the advice. After dealing with broken exhaust manifold bolts on a 460 in the truck, I broke down and found a good deal on a Dewalt 18V cordless angle drill. I had borrowed one the last time because between the spring towers and AC casing the right side is a royal PITA to do anything with. I usually pull the inner fender for better access.

The right angle drill is for sure a better option. No more than i have needed one i could not justify the cost. But when you need that right angle there is only a couple of options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to try the EZ out thing first This is more like what I was thinking about when I said 90 deg drill /www.amazon.com/DEWALT-DCD740B-20-Volt-Li-Ion-Right/dp/B007ML7DHS/ref=asc_df_B007ML7DHS/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=241 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to find it on eBay as the Dewalt store in VB only had 20V ones and I have all 18V tools so I would need a different charger and batteries just for the one tool. The sales lady in VB said you could could change them all, to which I replied, can I trade the others in? No was the answer, so I went looking for a good buy on eBay.

swampedout Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 90 degree drills are the only tool for certain jobs and the rest of the time they sit in the toolbox sad and lonely. But when you need them, nothing else works. They can be hard to get good leverage on because youre not pushing through the bit like on a regular drill and you can end up going in at bad angles. So it helps to take some extra time to make sure youre getting your bit or extractor lined up really well before you really dig in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
