It is a heavy bugger, so you if you're a pansy don't even pick it up. The batteries seem to last forever and they recharge very quickly. At 600 pounds of torque and 1800 RPM this baby makes quick work out of any project. No complaints at all. Unbelievabley better then the old Ni-Cad batteries. You have to pay attention while your using it, I've seen people let it spin around on then and get jaw-jacked by the battery.
still currently fighting Milwaukee to fix my issue, this time they are CHARGING ME to mail my batteries back in for inspection. bottom line dont risk it and buy this tools , mine have been broke more then they have worked. i own the hammer drill, impact , sawzaw each has cooked batteries with small poof of smoke from battery and its dead. Since that point if i call back they deny they ever told me this and turned the blame on me. but they have replaced batteries under warranty. i have used a cheap 30$ walmart drill to finish the job that the milwaukee fried on,.
DONT GET ME WRONG WHEN IT WORKS ITS GREAT. when i first phoned into their support they advised me of a issue with the batteries which caused them to fry under load. I have had 8 of these batteries fail, all so far have been replaced under warrenty,. i advised Milwaukee of what i believe the problem is and the batteries failing they advised that ITS me causing the tool to fail. MOST OF THE TIME ITS NOT BOTTOM LINE IS IF THE DRILL CANT TAKE A SLIGHT STALL OF THE BIT THEN IT SHOULDNT HAVE A DIRECT DRIVE MODE.
if your using the drill and or sawzaw and the bit or blade binds for a split second it fries the battery.
The led indicators on the battery are very useful; you don't want to go across site to find you need a fresh battery. I plan to buy a lighter drill for less demanding work.
This drill is powerful. I got this drill to replace my old milwaukee 18 volt, which I was very happy with.
I have had this drill for about 3 months, so I guess now is a good time for a review.
However if I were to have only one drill, this be it. However I can't reccomend this drill for any one, newer drills are now much more powerful and the milwaukee is very heavy.Only buy this if power is essential to you.Most of my friends don't like it because of it'e weight, but borrow it once in a while for certain jobs ' because your drill is more powerful'.
I like it because it can handle just about anything, and the battery lasts forever.
It has a ton of power. Sometime for hours at a time. (that drill is a superb hammer drill BTW). I've owned it 8 months and have put it through more than most people will in a lifetime and it's still going strong. I use the Milwaukee 28v cordless SDS hammer drill for 99% of my hammer drilling anyway. I'm so hard on this thing. It's perfect.
I'm constantly using large bore step bits to drill into steel j-boxes, door frames, etc. I've used it so hard the drill body was too hot to rest your palm on and it didn't even smell. I have 3 other cordless drills and they stay at home. I can't say enough about how extremely durable it is. I've dropped it off a 10 foot step ladder onto concrete, picked it back up and used it the rest of the day. This is the only one I take to the job site with me every day. I'm a commercial electrician and use this drill daily.
So much in fact it will darn near break your wrist if what you are drilling catches the bit and turns the drill when you least expect it. I have no clue what Consumer Reports could have possibly done to break it. On the hammer setting it will drill 1/4" holes in block but that's about it, so don't expect much from the hammer setting if you have anything heavy-duty to drill. I use it and use it hard.
20 holes later the battery still had 3/4 of its charge left. The belt clip works wonderfully. Just to "play with my new toy" since I didn't have any projects going on Christmas Day I went out to the shop and drilled some 2 1/2 inch holes in some 2x scrap. This drill was a Christmas present that replaced a 5 year old Craftsman 19.2 volt. I have since used it for a couple of projects and have been equally impressed. It is a tad bit on the heavy side, but when it drives 3" deck screws like a machine gun that doesn't really matter since you don't have to hold it as long to get the job done. WOW. I am not a pro, but a do it yourselfer with a 100 year old house.
There is no such thing as a small project. I highly recommend this tool to anyone who will listen to me. The balance is great. It was like cutting butter with a hot knife.
