Would you use that with a spade bit?  I think I would not.

I'm sure I have,  It's pretty stable and you can run the drill slow if needed.

Mine is the Milescraft Orbiter:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mFvFz5RERM

It is available from Amazon:  https://www.amazon.com/Milescraft-1300-O...ft+orbiter

I used it to make about 20 holes in 3" x 8" rafters to run electrical romex.  I have not used it since, but it was very handy at the time.

I have two of the Milwalkee, big, heavy, powerful, corded versions (#3102). They're not for small spaces; they're for where a regular corded won't work.  I also have a few adapters; one has a nice spot for your thumb which is great if you're running a lot of screws in basically the same position. the other one I use frequently is the DeWalt that Cletus posted. This works well with a long, like 12" long, extension. I use two fingers to hold the screw on the bit 'til it gets started, and having the other hand further away is more comfortable for me and lets me see what I'm doing without the driver and both arms in the way. I've also found that a semi-ridged flex driver will actually work where I thought I needed right angle and that sometimes there's enough slop in two or three extensions that I don't need a flex, especially for hex or Torx. I usually have air nearby and if a 1/4" air ratchet has served my needs for this long, I guess I don't really need a cordless right angle. But I'll be following this thread because my birthday is next week, and I can't think of anything I really need.
