Tools and Hardware Reviews of Milwaukee 0370-20 3/8-inch, 55-Degree Close Quarter Drill
Customer Review: a great drill...but
Summary: 4 Stars
I owned this little drill for 9 years before it finally crapped out. I used it for the occasional close quarter work and it is perfect for that purpose.
I don't know of another drill like it. This is a powerful little drill that will drill holes and drive screws in a tighter space than any other drill. It is not suited for truly heavy duty work. Mine gave up when asked to hog out big holes for running wire.
I agree that the paddle switch is precariously placed near the chuck and I have also accidentally activated the switch when changing bits. I find the paddle switch gives a lot of control, however, because of the long travel and needs to be in that location in order to keep the size of this close-quarter drill to the minumum. Having your hand near the bit is very comfortable and aids in control as well.
The Miluwakee Hole-hawg is as famous as their Sawz-all and should be up to continuous duty drilling. I will replace this drill with one just like it but will get a Hole-hawg for drilling lots of big holes in structural framing.
Customer Review: agree--and disagree

The Milwaukee close quarter is the best power tool I've bought in a long time. Gets the job done with power and with ease. I do agree with the guy who is getting rid of his on one score: The large trigger, which is part of what makes the tool so easy to use, can be a hazard if you're not paying attention. It is indeed very easy to activate accidentally, and especially when changing (ouch) bits. It just takes some getting used to. It's like a fine sports car--a perfect performer once you get used to its quirks!Customer Review: great drill
Summary: 5 Stars
I am rewiring my house and need a drill i can fit between joists and tight spots. its done great so far with paddle bits and auger style bits. I have broke 2 other cheap crap import brands on the first couple holes drilled and thankfully able to return them. the dependability of this drill is well worth the few extra bucks.
