As I wrote above the real answer is a mag based drill, but for restricted
access or poor base mount location, I agree that the second best is a side
handle drill with a place opposite to mount a LONG piece of 3/4" pipe and
two operators. My D handle is removable and I seldom ever mount it.
Good luck,
