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. Hello again. As I posted previously, there are at least two companies that make a right angle attachment for their rotary hammers: Hilti's TE-AC angle chuck or Bosch's 1618580000 right angle attachment. Hilti says their chuck is 5" tall. For a drilling into concrete, a regular drill is useless, a hammer drill will progress slowly, and a rotary hammer will progress well. Cheers, Wayne |

If you are going to drill 1" or larger holes, it gets tough, especially if you have to go deep. I have a PC 1/2" right angle drill (electricians use them) that will certainly handle the job. but the bits might be a weak part of the equation. The web site I posted earlier talks about both concrete and wood drilling. The concrete part preceded the right angle wood discussion. As one poster mentioned, it sounds like a good time to rent a tool. |

Or a good excuse to buy one. ![]() As I was only planning to drill two holes for cane bolts and a couple more for fasteners, I thought buying a new drill might seem like wretched excess. |

There is no such thing to wood workers. :-) |
