Amazon.com Product Description
The Hitachi 3/8-Inch Right Angle Drill is built with a powerful 4.6 Amp motor and comes with a dial-in variable speed control, allowing you to maintain your selected speed from 500 to 2,300 RPM under load. The right angle design and low profile, 3-1/4-inch head of this drill allow you to easily reach tight corners and odd angles, making this versatile tool especially suited for plumbing and electrical applications. Weighing only 3-3/10 pounds, this drill is lightweight and compact for increased comfort and ease of use, while the small grip circumference provides increased maneuverability. The slide switch with lock-on trigger feature offers more comfortable continuous operation, and the removable side handle improves operability and control. The contractor-grade cast-aluminum gear housing is highly durable and efficiently dissipates heat. The drill has a maximum torque of 106-1/5 inch-pounds, with a 7/8-inch wood capacity and a 3/8-inch steel capacity. It includes a heavy-duty industrial 3/8-inch chuck and chuck key and is backed by a 5-year limited warranty extended to the original purchaser. What's in the Box

 Well made, does the job. July 23, 2008
Aaron Dewar
This was purchased to drill two holes in a tight spot on an engine. This drill was very compact, and fit well within the tight space. I liked the switch, it was nice not to have to hold it "on" yet still be able to shut it off quickly.
Definitely a good tool.
Powerful drill in a great configuration July 3, 2008

I recently added the Hitachi D10YB right angle drill to my toolbox in preparation for a project rebuilding a camper. I've been using it heavily for two days, and have the following observations:
PROs: the drill has strong torque at all speeds. The controls for direction and speed are easy to access. The "paddle" type on/off switch is a lifesaver when you are reaching into tight corners. With the low speed, you can also use this as an electric screwdriver in places you can't get with the standard gear (but be careful - its easy to twist the head right off the screw!) The reversible screw-in handle is very handy, and without the handle on you can get into even tighter corners. The chuck is a key type, and really holds bits and drivers well - round and hex shaft (I haven't had a bit come loose yet); the chuck is guarded just a touch above the top and sides: this means you are less likely to mar your finished surfaces than when trying to lay a big nosed cordless drill with a keyless chuck on its side to squeeze near a ceiling or in a cabinet, AND it means you aren't accidentally loosening the chuck when you bump into a wall while running in reverse.
CONs: the Paddle switch took me a few holes to get used to, but now I love it.
SUMMARY: quiet. Powerful. Feels good in my hand. This one is a real keeper!
Excellent drill & I like the switch! February 14, 2008

Excellent quality throughout. Others have complained about the switch, but I find it very easy to use. The trigger slides easily into the "on' position, and a simple squeeze pops the catch and it slides back into the off position. For me, this makes a lot more sense than a trigger switch when working in tight quarters.
Nice drill. Switch is fine. November 28, 2007

Nice compact and professional drill that seems to have the best price. Switch works fine. You can both tap it on/off or you can slide it down and hold it (it will stop if you release). I would certainly recommend this drill assuming I have not problems with it down the line.
I like it!!!! September 13, 2007

I like this drill. I have no problems with it. I friend of mine is always bitching when he uses it. Because of the switch. I believe that his problem is that he turns it up too fast. And if you smack the drill around when you are drilling the holes the switch shuts off. The switch slides up yo turn it on and then you just tap the bottom and it shuts off. I got it for a good price over 2 years ago and I have used it to basically rewire and plumb my entire house. And the plumbing involved running radiant heating tube in the floor. It has gotten A LOT of use and is still going strong.
I would buy it again.
