Snap On Blue Angle Drill
I was looking for an angle drill that would be compact,have some decent power and ease of use features. This Snap-On Blue Point has what I was looking for. I've owned this drill for a few weeks and used it several times. I love it. It has good power, is compact and a keyless chuck. It has a feel of quality to it.

Strong but cumbersome
This drill was purchased for a particular tight quarters job I had to do.
+++The drill had plenty of power to drill and drive screws thru multiple layers of 18 guage steel.
+++This drill at the price I paid was 1/3 the price of other brands. I new Blue Point from years of them being sold on Snap-On tool trucks.
---The design would be much beter and improve tight quarter operations if the cord came out the end instead of the side. Its location actually created clearance problems on a tool made for limited space use.
---The keyless chuck is hard to grip and tighten because of an overlaping guard. Pinched my hand several times.
In all I would purchase again at this price. Hope the designers read this and fix the problems I found.
