Default Right-angle drills

I have a Bosch 1132VSR right angle corded drill. It is about 3" from the tip
of the chuck to the back of the housing with much of the chuck recessed into
the metal housing. It would be hard to find any other with smaller
measurements.


So close. I should have mentioned I'm drilling 1/2 holes in
lightweight concrete, so I need a 1/2 chuck. Stopped at the local
rental place they had what looked like a PC (no lables) and it was
about 6" from chuck face to back. The Hilti's were all monsters.

I figure I will spend more on bits than anything else in this
project. I will have to go about 5" deep so I will probably need
three different length bits since I can only go ~1 1/2" deep at a time
with the Milwaukee. I *only* need to drill about 10 holes this way so
if it takes a long time and burns up a bit or two I can deal with it.
I'm just surprised that the MW r-angle drill is so big and nobody
seems to make a smaller one.
