Nice-looking drill, as drills go, admirably high top speed. Very torquey, fine speed control via the trigger, reversible (though I don't think they point that out). Worst thing I can say about it (besides costing more than the inferior competitors): do not try to use this as a power screwdriver, or you will likely twist off either your screw heads or your favorite arm: no clutch, you see. The side handle is removeable and adjusts to almost any angle, helping right or left handers steady their grip when working vertically or horizontally. Bought this to replace a somewhat battered DeWalt, and the difference is noticeable -- on every level. Double-insulated so it has a two-prong plug, fine cord length and heaviness. I am very happy with this unit, and I would bet money you will be as well. The keyless chuck is two-piece with decent knurling, so I've had no problems with bits working their way loose (so far).
Bought by accident - returned for drill with chuck. Drill does seem to be a little longer then the one it replaced( stolen in breaak-in) Being Milwalkee they will last forever.
I have been waiting for this for 3 years and finally it is taking shape. This tool makes the job fast and easy. I can only imagine how difficult it must have been before the electric drill was invented. We ordered the Milwaukee 3/8 inch drill to build a garden shed. When my husband finally gets to work, he builds to last til the millennium. We have had no problems even though it is a rebuilt drill. Nails aren't good enough - we must have screws.
Milaukee tools are in a class of their own. These are lifetime tools and powerful.
It's nice to have a drill that has power at low rpms, and high rpms to get the job done. Once again it's proven to me that Milwaukee makes the finest drill available. It costs a little more but after going through a Dewalt and a Minnkota similar quality drill. Battery operated drills have there place, but in my opinion they will never replace the all around preformance of a corded drill. I can feel the difference in the power and quality.
