In addition, the belt clip is brilliant. This one has good balance, nice speed control, and the reversible battery design comes in handy more than I expected. After I received this drill, I discovered that Milwaukee makes "Lithium-Ion" tools that are backwards compatible with the 5 NiCads I already have. After a trip to Home Depot, I had come to the conclusion that all of the Lithium Ion tools were of the compact battery design and incompatible with NiCad batteries. This drill was bought to replace a nine year old 18 volt hammer drill that fell and broke. No special belts nor holsters are needed. Had I known that beforehand, I would have purchased a brand new model 0824-20 for $15 more. The clip itself fastens securely over a regular belt, the tool locks into the clip effortlessly, and releases easily.My only issue comes with the NiCad versus Lithium Ion battery.
This is a tough tool capable of handling some abuse. Lithium would be the next best thing. If you have a need for alot of use, this is a good choice.
