I bought this drill to get into places that my large Milwaukee right angle drill can not fit into while installing an electrical system and plumbing in what was previously an Amish farm house.  This is an excellent tool.  It is quiet and powerful.  The variable speed is a great safety factor, when boring large holes with auger style drill bits in wood that just might contain nails you don't want to be drilling full speed when the inevitable nail is found, that can be very hard on the wrist.
