I looked online at Milwaukee and Dewalt and was surpsrised the the
specs didn't show the distance from the tip of the chuck to the back
of the drill.

I stopped at Lowes last night and measured the Milwaukee and it is
about 5 1/2" with the chuck jaws fully retracted to the back of the
angle. Not nearly as small as I would like, anybody make one that can
get into tighter spots?

I need a 'real' drill not some right angle screwdriver from B&D since
I will be using this to drill into concrete. Yeah I know an impact
drill should be used but those things are gigantic.

I have the Milwaukee and it has plenty of power. Just be advised, you
MUST unplug this drill before inserting or changing bits. The trigger
mechanism is very easy to push while you crank the chuck key to
tighten the chuck. Result: the motor starts and the key comes around
and gets caught under the plastic housing. Besides being dangerous,
it's a pain to get the key unstuck. Of course this did not happen to
me, someone told me.
