“Milwaukee 18 V drill for A/C duct and unit installation.”

I have the 19.2 V craftsman EX drill, circular, sawzall combo that I bought in 2002 and the charger went dead. I have been doing A/C work my whole life and wanted a lighter drill that still had the power. I did some research and settled on this baby. It is worth the money and has what I need for all my jobs. I use it to cut holes in heavy gage metal with my hole attachment that hooks to my drill and this drill does not bog down at all. The LED is also nice when working under a house or in an attic trying to shoot screws through small holes. As someone who uses a drill every day and needs one for...

“Handles anything I throw at it!”

 

Owned a Craftsman Professional 13.2v for about 9 years and finally lost one battery to failure, and feared the other was close. Purchased the Milwaukee 18v Li-Ion drill/driver and noticed first its weight and balance compared to my Craftsman drill. The Milwaukee feels better and after long use doesn't seem to fatigue me as much. There are days that I can use this drill for about 12 hours one battery after another. Charge time has been about 40 minutes and the drill will last me about 30 minutes of use depending on what I am drilling or driving. Power curve is very good maintaining most of it's...

“Milwaukee 18 Volt Lithium Ion Drill”

Wonderful drill. Extremely light and durable. Very short battery charge time and long use time. Very good reliable drill set! Wonderful return policy as well.

“extremely fragile, not for contractor use.”

The drill is very top heavy and there is very little material  in between the motor and the handle. My drill fell from a few feet and broke in half. This would be a good drill for a homeowner doing a couple jobs around the house. Do not buy for everyday use.

“do not buy”

I have had one of these for a little under a year and went through 4 batteries. drill is fine the batteries are junk. I called milwaukee and the response was "sorry you do not like our product" that was it. it is now a red paper weight and I am shopping for a new one.

“A great cordeless tool.”

This Milwaukee drill is a great evolution of the cordless drill. It boasts power and compact size. The ratcheting chuck is a neat way to positively tighten the chuck jaws without putting too much stress on the hand. I like how the torque ring rotates smartly into position. The drill body feels well made. It would only be better if it was made in the USA. Highly recommended.

“Made my husband sooo happy”

I got this for my husband for fathers day and he loves it! It's the best drill he's had, and is totally worth the money.

“Solid drill in a compact package”

I researched cordless drills for several months before selecting this at Christmas. My key selling points: no memory (top off-able battery) and low weight Li-on batteries, battery gages on battery, sturdy construction, power (400 in-lbs), top speed (1400 RPM), manageable charge time (30 min) and quality. As a homeowner, we are always faced with trying to remember what charge is in the battery. With this drill, you can check the gage and immediately see how much charge is left. If you desire, you can begin to work with the most charged battery and switch to the newly charged battery a hour later.... read full review »
