            It is a clip that can be used to hook the tool on your belt or a nail. It is very helpful when you are up a ladder or scaffold and need a place to put the tool while you are working with another tool or need to free up both hands.

                      I would say yes. I’ve used it with spade hits on wood studs and it has suffice to torque. Equivalent to a 3/8 electric drill.

                        Have not used on metal. It surprised me with the power it does have. I have used it on 3” oak with a 7/8’s spade bit with no issues.

                            Yes it is, be sure to use a high quality drill bit so that it does the work. This drill has a 3/8" chuck so be sure you have the correct shanked bit. On bolt drill out I use cobalt bits which handle bolts, be sure to us come cutting oil as well.

                                  DeWalt unit is far superior to its competitors in weight, torque, as well as features such as a standard 3/8 chuck. The drills from other manufacturers use a shallow, hex drive that will not secure a drill bit which limits accuracy. Therefore it will tighten to suit various size drill bits with on the 3/8 parameters.

                                    Hello, you can use all drill bits from 3/8" and smaller since they will be compatible with this model. Thank you, Maria DEWALT Social Rep.

                                        Right angle drill
                                        I bought this right angle drill to try it when I’m drilling holes in tight locations for wiring. I was a little hesitant at first when I bought it because it only had a 3/8 chuck and was unsure that it had enough power. A fully charged 5ah battery gave me enough time to drill all the holes I needed. Whether it’s an auger or even a forsner drill bit, the right angle drill will make the job easier for you. It is light weight and the button to turn on and off is easy to operate. Good job Dewalt!

                                          Useful tool
                                          The ergonomics is the reason I bought this right angle drill. It handles great drilling holes in floor joists but is a little under powered. Had to switch it to low speed to finish hole but over all satisfied.

                                          Tool is very strong and got through the studs easily with no problems. Lightweight easy to use. I use all my batteries on it from 2ah to 12ah. Will be looking for other projects with minimal clearance thanks Dewalt

                                          Waste of money
                                          [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve went through two of these right angle drills now. First drill was a disappointment and didn’t last long, motor burnt up after a few times using it. Ordered my second one in June (hoping DeWalt had upgraded the motor), burnt up on the first day of using it. I was using a 5/8 Diablo paddle bit, started getting hot after a short time using it, and then the motor burnt up. Before the two DeWalt angle drills, I had a Ryobi angle drill, and it literally outlasted both of these. I’d hoped I had just gotten a bad one on the first one I bought, but obviously not. Would not purchase this drill until DeWalt comes out with a better version.

                                            I got the old version of this tool. seemed to be used to because the tool wasn't in a plastic bag and already had the belt clip on it. all other DeWalt tools I have bought didn't come like this. might have even been taken apart because the casing was not put together right.

                                              brand new and doesnt work
                                              Got this in a combo kit. No need for it really so never used it. Went to sell it now three months later and trying it for the first time and there is a grinding noise on speed one. And cant be used because as soon as you touch the chuck it makes a plastic grinding noise and the chuck stops spinning but the motor keeps going. So it cant be used on speed one. Speed two works fine.

                                                Good Right Angle Drill
                                                I'm slowly switching over to Dewalt 20V Max cordless equipment since I picked up another drill with a charger and two batteries last year. One of those batteries failed and Dewalt replaced it for me at no charge under the 2 year warranty. Anyway, I had been looking for a right angle drill when I found this unit. I do model railroading and sometimes need to drill in tight places under the layout. This drill has been great for that. One thing I don't get isn't so much about the drill, more about it's description! The outside of the box and most of the places I looked do not mention the built-in LED light. The LED comes on automatically and illuminates the work piece, turns off about a minute after you stop drilling. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it had this feature (see working under the layout above) as I find it really handy. I don't understand why they don't mention this cool feature. My other Dewalt has the light as well and I was looking for it. The deep socket that allows the bit to be placed farther in and therefor reduce the space need is good as well. This is the first "right-angle" drill I have owned, though I've used a couple that belong to friends. This is better than either one of those, but it's worth mentioning that the others were both really old. The only reason that the value is not "excellent" as this a bare tool, no battery, no charger for the price. If you don't already a charger and batteries, the kit they sell that includes a battery and charger is the way to go.
