I recently bought a Harbor Freight "close quarters" drill.

HF Close Quarter Drill

It is not the best $50 I have spent on a power tool but I will keep it. I expect I will find other situations when this configuration works well.
- It is definitely not a right angle drill. You can only reach into a space about as far as the distance from the head to the body.
- It runs at 1300 rpm. That speed does not work well with small diameter bits or abrasive pads.
- The body around the motor is pretty large. My hands are large enough that I can hold it. You almost need to use 2 hands to hold the drill and activate the switch. I doubt it would be comfortable for extended use.

Harbor Freight used to sell a real right angle drill in the Central Electric line. They have discontinued that line of tool as they have shifted their marketing upwards.
