That location would eliminate the shadow.

Try one of the drills with the light located there.  They simply do not work well.

How hard would it be for the dewalt engineers/designers to come up with something like this...





I used cheap lights (non-LED) here to see how it would look. with todays tecjnology, there are very tiny LED light (smaller than the ones on the pic) that emit a lot of light. also, the drill collar only would get a little fat to house the LEDs.

Dewalt did a similar thing to the new 20v max impact driver. There are to many moving parts on a drill/driver to put 3 lights up front. I doubt you will ever see it on a drill driver.

I was not aware of that, though I own the 12v max impact driver and love the 3 LED lights.

they are not very good engineers/designers then Smiley because I can think of two designs that could work.

Well I would personally enjoy a drill that had 3 lights. I see companies viewing light's as a secondary feature, and won't go out of there way to design a drill around lights.
