Yup, that light is so stupid.
I love it. I just wish they could find a way for the light to not get blocked by the chuck when you get close. Other than that - perfection.

If you add up what you have got in 2 or 3 drills to do the job, this one is cheaper and it comes in one small box.
Can you put a Jacobs style chuck on the end of your 90 degree Makita and drill holes with it?
Seriously, 500 bucks is not an arm and a leg.
It's like a couple of your little toes and maybe a testicle.

The 90 degree chuck for the C12 is 95.00 bucks.
The drill without the 90 and eccentric chuck is like 360.00

When I need a chucked right angle I use something like this. I don't have this POS, but I have one similar.

Mine was a Milwaulkee I believe. Couldn't find it though. I have never set foot into a Habor Freight.

Leo-I had the little Milwakee 90 degree close quarters drill thing. It burnt up after a couple of years though.
Looked more generic than this one and had a floppy toggley crapy trigger thingy on it.

I petty much get away with one of these. It works in about 95% of the cases. Small and can get into some pretty tight places.
