Right angle drills

Im in negotiatiation with my boss as to why he needs to buy me a right angle drill,my job is fitting Beer lines behind the bar and i have to drill combinations of 1" 2" 3" holes using hole cutters,as some of you may appreciate getting access to the back of the bar is a right pain in the butt hence the need for a angle drill.
So if i was to drill half a dozen 3" holes what angle drill would be the best buy looking for something that wouldnt burn out after a few uses as this will be a one off purchace the boss is a tight arse

Oh and it needs to be 110 volt

The middle one.

I will reccomend that bad boy.

Plenty of power for the big holesaws, and the end will rotate

Excellent Sparkdude

i know im harping on now but would a battery drill take the load of several 2/3" holes through hardwood carcases

depends how many batteries you have to do the job. Honestly if i was doing it as a job a mians one would have to be a must .
especially if the boss is buying it go for a decent one, he wont have to pay the vat anyways .

I agree with Nick, use a mains drill.

3" holesaws will kill batteries pretty sharpish.

A nice 110 one

ok 3" holes in hardwood may be pushing it a bit i will try my dewalt with a 3" in 20mm pine later as i dont have a bit of 3" hardwood handy

tried the dewalt worked fine on a 20mmx76mm hole in close grain quite hard redwood
drilled 3 holes on a battery thats been lying around uncharged for several weeks did warm up a bit but not to bad
wouldnt fancy 6 holes in harder wood without a breather after the third to cool down though
