Looking for the "shortest" drill for working in narrow spaces

Hello everyone. I have been slowly diving into the world of DIY for the past year and I bought several tools (mainly parkside branded) in this timewindow. I find now myself with the problem of being able to drill a hole in a narrow space (of about 17 cm) and the standard drills I currently have don't fit. So I am looking for suggestions on what to buy. On one hand I hear there are "angular" drills (not sure what to look for and what size they might have). On the other hand I see there are some very short "regular" drills like the Dewalt DCF850DCF850 which would be 10 cm by itself (and I am not sure how much longer can it be with bits). For now my need would be to drill a hole in a wall (but it is not hard concrete as I already made holes in the house with a regular screwdriver so I know I don't need a hammer drill). Any suggestions/help would be extremely helpful. Thank you very much in advance. submitted by /u/FrancioOssidato [link] [comments]
