3/8 Right Angle Drill (DW160V)

I have used this tool for several years, and bought it instead of the Milwaukee close-quarter drill because the DeWalt seemed to measure a little less in depth, which I preferred for access to tighter spaces. I generally like the DeWalt, but the reason I only give it three stars instead of four or five is from what I perceive to be a safety issue. The DeWalt has a large switch trigger (the large silver colored thing in the photo) which is helpful when working in close quarters, but you have to watch what you are doing when you go to pick the drill up. There does not appear to be an interlock on the trigger, and I have had several occasions where just picking up the drill caused it to start because I inadvertently activated the switch when picking up the drill. Luckily there were no serious consequences. It seems to me that this tool should have an interlock (at least I didn't see one) such as on some right angle air tools, that require a lever or similar to be flipped before the paddle switch can be engaged.
