Bauer Right Angle Drill – Compact Cordless Power Tool
Our right angle drill is engineered for drilling and driving in confined spaces where standard drills can’t reach. The compact head design provides access to tight corners, between studs, and inside cabinets while delivering the power you need to complete the job.
Built with a high-torque motor and variable speed trigger, this cordless tool handles everything from pilot holes to driving heavy-duty fasteners. The all-metal gear case ensures durability on the jobsite, while the ergonomic grip reduces fatigue during extended use. Compatible with our entire 20V battery system for seamless tool transitions throughout your workday.
- 3/8-inch keyless chuck accepts standard drill bits and driver bits
- Variable speed trigger: 0-1,300 RPM for precise control
- All-metal gear case withstands heavy jobsite use
- Compact right-angle head reaches spaces standard drills cannot access
- 20V lithium-ion battery compatible (battery and charger sold separately)
Tight-Space Drilling Performance
The right-angle configuration positions the motor perpendicular to the chuck, creating a slim profile that fits where conventional drills simply won’t. This makes our Bauer right angle drill the ideal choice for plumbers, electricians, HVAC technicians, and carpenters who regularly work in wall cavities, under sinks, or inside mechanical spaces.
The 3/8-inch keyless chuck provides quick bit changes without additional tools, accepting everything from twist bits to spade bits and hole saws up to the chuck capacity. Variable speed control lets you start pilot holes slowly for accuracy, then ramp up to full power for driving through tough materials like hardwood framing or metal studs.
Battery System and Runtime
This right angle drill runs on our 20V lithium-ion battery platform, which powers our complete line of cordless drills and drivers plus impact tools, saws, and outdoor equipment. One battery charges them all, reducing the number of chargers you need to carry and simplifying your tool storage.
Battery capacity determines runtime per charge. A 2.0Ah battery provides ample power for light-duty tasks like installing cabinet hardware or running wire through studs. For all-day framing or repetitive drilling, we recommend 4.0Ah or higher capacity batteries that deliver extended runtime between charges.
What’s Included
The Bauer right angle drill ships as a bare tool, giving you the flexibility to use batteries and chargers you already own or to select the capacity that matches your specific work requirements.
Included with your purchase: right angle drill body, operator’s manual with safety guidelines and maintenance instructions, and belt hook attachment. The belt hook can be installed on either side of the tool to accommodate left-handed or right-handed users.

Right Angle Drill Questions
No, this tool is sold as a bare tool without battery or charger included. This gives you the flexibility to choose the battery capacity that best matches your work requirements.
The drill is compatible with all Bauer 20V lithium-ion batteries. If you already own other Bauer 20V tools, you can use those existing batteries. For new users, we recommend starting with at least one 4.0Ah battery and a rapid charger for optimal performance and minimal downtime.
The 3/8-inch keyless chuck accepts drill bits and driver bits with shanks up to 3/8 inch in diameter. This includes standard twist bits, spade bits, hole saws with compatible arbors, and all common screwdriver bit formats.
For drilling larger holes, you can use a step bit or hole saw within the chuck capacity. The motor provides sufficient torque for hole saws up to 2 inches in wood and 1-1/4 inches in metal, depending on material hardness and bit quality.
A right angle drill positions the motor perpendicular to the chuck, creating an L-shaped tool with a much narrower head profile than standard inline drills. This compact head design allows access to confined spaces like wall cavities, between floor joists, inside cabinets, and tight corners where a conventional drill body won’t fit.
While standard drills excel at general-purpose drilling and driving, right angle drills are specialized tools for professional trades and situations where space is limited. Many contractors keep both types on hand for different applications.
Yes, the Bauer right angle drill is built for professional-grade applications including drilling through metal studs, hardwood framing, and dense materials. The all-metal gear case and high-torque motor provide the durability and power needed for demanding jobsite work.
For best results when drilling metal, use sharp twist bits designed for metal applications and apply cutting fluid to reduce heat and extend bit life. Start at lower speeds to establish the hole, then increase speed as the bit engages the material.
Battery runtime depends on the capacity of the battery you use and the intensity of your drilling tasks. A 2.0Ah battery typically provides 30-50 holes through standard 2×4 lumber with a spade bit, sufficient for light installation work or small projects.
For all-day use, a 4.0Ah battery delivers approximately 100-150 holes through dimensional lumber or equivalent driving tasks. Heavy-duty applications like drilling through metal or using large hole saws will reduce runtime. We recommend keeping a spare battery charged so you can swap packs without interrupting your workflow.
Yes, the included belt hook can be attached to either side of the drill body to accommodate right-handed or left-handed users. The hook is also completely removable if you prefer to use the tool without it.
Installation requires a screwdriver and takes less than a minute. The hook is designed to clip securely onto standard work belts and tool pouches while allowing quick one-handed retrieval of the drill.
