It delivers the torque of an 18 v with the weight of a 12 volt. I recently purchased this drill and am quite pleased with its performance. I have an 18 v Makita 2.6 a and took them side by side to compare. very nice drill I do a lot of handyman and maintenance work and it is my drill of choice Both worked great, but the Milwaulkee did the same work with about 1/2 the weight.
So far, so good. Lightweight in size, but heavyweight performance. Spent a whole day putting in 3" screws into old studding. one battery did it for the whole day.
The battery design is awesome. My only complaint is that the bit holders near the bottom of the drill look cheap. The drill just has the feel of a well built, strong toolThe keyless chuck works great. The tool belt clip works very well. I have to say, i read a ton of reviews and researched this tool.
The drill feels great in your hand, its light weight, and is very easy to use. They are very light and last 1/2 the day. it is sturdy, and you don't have to worry about your drill falling. One of them came out the first time i used it. I am completely satisfied with it.
The quick charge features works just like Milwaukee says. I simply pushed the metal clip back into place, and it seems to be holding there.You cannot go wrong with this drill. It locks very tightly, and is easy to operate.
used product,and it shows.unit is top heavy not user friendly over extended periods of time.and it was refurbed. wont do that again.
It doesn't get in the way if you stuff the drill in your tool belt, and that lil' hook is really useful for short term (i.e. I can't charge the battery with my V28 charger, but I will say that this charger is very quick. About 15 minutes from nothing to full. I am not just saying sweet, but super sweet. They have always been pricey, but, now the common lay-man can appreciate the quality that is benchmark with Milwaukee.If this is your first cordless or you're a contractor, this is worth it. It stuffs well into your tool belt- got lots of room to spare. If you don't charge it say for 2 weeks or so, it'll still stay charged, coming a long way from the old Ni-Cads. Even in use, it took a couple of hours to discharg, even if it was "light-duty-repetitious" drywall.
The size of this drill is almost perfect. It is a stand-alone kit, in other words, the batteries and charger can only be used with this kit. I prefer to look at it like this: Milwaukee is finally getting competetive with the other brands. I DO have alot of complaints about other drills/manufacturers, but, you want to find out about this drill, right.First, the feel and balance of this baby is so sweet.
The thing is very powerful as well. At first, I thought that the belt-thingy was kinda dumb; but you know what. This is probably more of a compilation than anything else. w/o a tool belt) hooking onto your pocket. Hang it on your pants pocket. How cool is that.They are 1.4 amp/hour batteries, but last as long as the 2 amp/hours (or so it seems).As far as the Made in China, well.as the old Mafia saying goes: "Better get used to it".
5" lag bolts went in like a hot knife through butter, too.I too, own the monster V28 5 pack, and this is definately my favorite toy of the bunch. Doing drywall has never been so fun. Won't pull your pants down, either.The battery stays charged a very, very long time. For the price and as a Milwaukee-junkie, get it.You won't KNOW what your missing. The batteries don't weigh anything at all.
