Right angle drills are designed and manufactured with the professional in mind, therefore almost every right angle drill on the market is a quality well made tool. So regardless of the tool you finally decide to purchase you will end up with a great drill.
However these type of drills do come with different features and specifications to fill different needs for professional tradespeople.
Right Angle Cordless Drill
Electricians will mostly use a right angle drill to drill holes in the 5/8 inch to 1 inch range. However because of the nature of their work, stringing wires all over buildings to cover electrical code requirements, electricians are required to drill lots of holes in joists and studs. Therefore electricians need a right angle drill that will work all day long with ease and that is easy to control with high torque at low speeds. It is also essential that a good right angle drill has a reverse to facilitate removal of a nail eater type drill bit that has become wedged or stuck.
Plumbers need a drill capable of drilling large holes in studs and joists to facilitate the installation of drains and waste pipes. Considering that joists and studs are placed 16 inches apart by code, this does not leave a lot of space for a plumber to drill a line of 4 inch holes that must line up to allow for the installation of a solid waste pipe from a toilet (wc).
Therefore a plumber will need a hole hawg type of drill with a recessed chuck to give the maximum clearance for the drill and bit to allow it to fit completely with clearance into the 14!/2 inch space between joists.
Also because the plumber is drilling large holes, up to 4 inches, the right angle drill will need a heavy duty motor with excellent torque and low speed capability, kind of like a tractor with a huge motor designed to pull heavy loads at low speeds over all terrain types with ease.
Another great feature is that not alone is the chuck placed at a 90 degree angle to the drills body, the chuck is also mobile and can be rotated and locked into any position in relation to the body. This feature allows the operator the place the drill handle in the optimum position to control the drill while drilling large holes in awkward positions where control is essential to safety. Most right angles drills have chucks that can rotate in a 180 degree span.
Lastly an essential requirement for the perfect right angle drill is a variable speed trigger. The variable speed trigger on a drills allows the operator complete control over the speed of the drill while drilling large holes in joists and studs. As a safety feature alone a variable speed trigger is a total must.
The variable speed trigger combined with the proper placing of the drill body and handle while drilling enables the person drilling to have complete control over the drill regardless of the position. This is the beauty of a right angle drill, complete control over the machine with the ability to drill large diameter holes in tight locations at awkward angles.

Bosch PS10-2A 12-Volt Max Lithium-Ion Driver Kit Overview
We'd wager there have been plenty of times you tried to maneuver a drill/driver into a spot that just wouldn't allow it and wished you had a small, powerful tool that would drive a screw where others just can't go. Here it is. The PS10-2A is one of the handiest, most powerful little drivers we've laid hands on. It's impressively powered by "litheon," which Bosch calls "the industry's most advanced lithium-ion battery technology." We can attest that there's absolutely no lag in power, and the run time is great; more than 100 drives per charge. Recharge time is just 30 minutes, so you should never have to wait for a battery. The best feature, of course, is the clever design. Instead of a pistol grip like most drivers, this one has a sturdy tool body and an articulating head that has five detents, letting you set it however you need it. The head itself is just 3-1/2-inches long, so it's no struggle at all to slip it into tight spaces suchas in between studs, under-sink cabinets, between joists and other tricky situations. If it's length you need, just flip the head to the vertical position and it's literally like having a screwdriver at your fingertips; it's not quite a-foot long at its full length. It uses 1/4-inch hex bits, and they're easy to change. We would have liked to see some on-board bit storage, but that's a small point. The two-finger trigger is comfortable, and it's quite sensitive, so take care not to strip your fasteners while you're on the learning curve. In all, we're really pleased with this little driver, and we think there's a place for it in just about every toolbox. Includes: tool, (1) carrying case, (2) 12-volt batteries, (1) 30-minute charger, (2) 1.5-inch drive bits.Bosch PS10-2A 12-Volt Max Lithium-Ion Driver Kit Specifications

The PS20-2A gets its power from Litheon batteries, the most advanced lithium-ion batteries available today. These batteries allow more battery charges and provide longer runtime with no memory effect--meaning the batteries don't need to be empty before charging. The batteries can also be taken out of the charger before charging is complete.
Other benefits include: significantly less self discharge; electronic cell protection that guards against overheating, overload, and deep discharge; and no loss of power from the first to last screw or hole. Best of all, these batteries will fully charge in 30 minutes and will be at 85% capacity in just 15 minutes.
Compact and Powerful for Most Drilling/Driving Applications
Small and powerful enough to go where power tools could never go before, the PS10-2A handles 80% of all drilling and driving applications and easily fits in a belt pouch. The driver uses 1/4-inch hex bits that change easily thanks to the quick-change chuck, and it features a comfortable and responsive two-finger trigger.
Compact, Articulating Head for Easy Access of Hard-to-Read Areas
With its compact head that measures 3.5 inches and extended length of just under one foot, the PS10-2A is three times shorter than the leading competitor and is the first pro tool to rotate 90 degrees. Without the cumbersome pistol grip of most comparable drivers, the PS10-2A features a sturdy tool body and an articulating head that rotates and locks in five different positions. And because the head is so compact, you can slide this tool into hard-to-reach areas or tight corners, like between studs, under the sink, and between joints.
Electronic Clutch and Responsive Trigger for Precision
The PS10-2A provides 80 in./lbs. of torque, which allows you to drive approximately 100 three-inch screws per battery charge. Additionally, its 7+1 electronic clutch ensures precision driving by letting you match the correct speed to the task at hand. The driver's trigger boasts a revolutionary design that provides increased sensitivity and control and eliminates over-torque in soft base materials. An added bonus, the design makes it easy to switch to the drill mode for making pilot and other small bore holes.
Smart Features for Easy Use
To help minimize work fatigue, even as you position the drill over your head or at awkward angles, the PS10-2A's cushion-grip handle ensures comfort in the grip zone. For added convenience, an integrated hanger hook allows for easy tool storage and accessibility.
ProVantage Guarantee
The PS10-2A comes with the ProVantage three-year protection plan, which guarantees two years of battery protection and one year of tool protection. Under this plan, you can receive two years of free battery replacements, tool replacement for one year, and a free tool repair package for the second and third years.
