There's 90° chuck adapters that do the same job...
That may work for a small project, but to lay a floor of more than 70 square meters, I prefer a tool that works smoothly.
I'm not sure I want to understand why you would need a narrow space drill for laying flooring...
Anyway, 2 man from amazon... It's quite ok... Don't forget earing protection, any angled powertools have perpendicular gearings that are usually abominably noisy...
I will put wooden beams on my house's steel H-beams (H rotated by 90 degrees). To attach the wooden beams, I need to drill holes in an upward direction through the prefabricated holes of the steel beams.
The space under the top of a steel beam is less than 20 cm, which disqualifies every standard drill.
This drill appears pretty quiet, but I did not use it yet under load, so I will keep an eye on my ears once it is action time.
I bought it from these guys for 17,577 Yen (fees for shipping and payment on delivery for free). Took me three days to receive, but they appear reliable to me (their conditions are also reasonable).
