We used to own this drill that had this pivot point in the middle. You turn it one direction and it was straight. You turn it another direction and it forms a 135 degree angle...roughly. I don't know what the brand was. But, I think it was blue. I ask because, instead of getting a whole new blender set just because our whisk is broken, I want to buy replacement whisks and just attach them to the drill. As far as getting any old drill on Amazon is concerned, I'm interested in this particular drill because of how light it is.

This one?

Bosch PS11-102 Cordless Right Angle Drill

The PS11-102 features a 5 position pivoting head that allows you to pivot the head from the 90 degrees position to 180 degrees.

Not really. But, if that's light enough, I may go with it. I'm finding info that points to that Bosch being 2.2 lbs. That would make it light enough to be able to blend with.

Also, probably should have added that that drill I was describing dates back to the 90s. Heck, we probably bought it in the 80s. I don't know. Although, considering the fact that Bosch drills are blue, I'm wondering if the drill I remember was a Bosch.

This isn't the exact tool. But, it shows how the tool swivels from a 135 degree position to completely straight.

Having found more of those swivel drills, I'm finding a pattern: They all use magnetic bits as opposed to that Bosch that uses a grip to tighten the bit in place. So, in the interest of options, I'm looking for a drill that can swivel between (approximately) 135 degrees and straight and has a grip to tighten bits on with.

Try googling (actually, DuckDuckGo, Quacking??)

"electric screwdriver"

& click 'images', mostly drill motors, but, , , , a few.

edit: meant to add, generally, these dont have 'drill chucks', they take hex screwdriver bits (¼"?). I bought a small drill chuck with this same hex end, , ,

the device that tightens on the bit is called a chuck. don't search for screwdriver, that's why they have a hex socket to take screwdriver bits. you are looking for a drill. those will tighten, with the chuck, on hex bits as well as round drill bits. a quick search of images is the easiest way to find a device that looks like what you want. be forewarned that the thing you first described was probably a screwdriver, drills have to have more space to include the chuck and i didn't see one that twisted to make a pistol or a straight handle.

The one you had being 30 - 40 years old, well you are not going to find one except maybe at a yard sale or ebay

Mastercraft is also Blue

This is only an example as this is a screwdriver that doesn't have a chuck

Okay. So, what I'm looking for is a drill instead of a screwdriver because a drill has the chuck on it. Got it. Guess I'll stop looking for a cordless screwdriver then. Although, I found what our original screwdriver looks like:

Just imagine that it's blue.

now we're getting somewhere. that is a screwdriver that has a set of drill bits that have hex ends so they can be used in the the hex holder of the tool. my screw driver is a Ryobi. the old one i had twisted so hard it broke itself. but get one that you like and a bit set from home depot, lowes or harbor freight. Whamo! you are in business.
