Milwaukee 0824-24 18-Volt Lithium-Ion Hammer Drill Kit
You get the power and durability of Lithium-Ion technology in this durable hammer driver/drill, along with the heavy-duty quality you expect from Milwaukee tools, like a high-power motor, metal chuck and more.
Sporting the longest running 18-volt hammer-drill on the market, Milwaukee?s V18 Lithium-Ion cordless kit ensures that this tool is always on hand for drilling and driving jobs large and small. A patented reversible battery lets the drill fit in tight areas and optimizes balance for working overhead. And, if you already have one of Milwaukee?s 18-volt Ni-Cad tools, you?re in luck. The lithium-ion batteries in this kit fit select 18-volt tools, too! The kit?s charger also powers up those 18- to 28-volt Ni-Cad batteries in under an hour! Plus, the lithium-ion battery provides up to 50 percent longer runtime than comparable Ni-Cad tools while at the same time offering consistent power from the first hole drilled to the last. Designed to easily complete those extended decking, fencing, and framing jobs, the tool drills up to twenty-five 2-9/16-inch bit holes per charge. A high output motor provides 550 inch-pounds of torque for driving large bolts and drilling spade bits into hardwood. The unit?s metal ratcheting chuck and carbide jaws grip bits tightly so there?s no slippage mid-job. And, a comfortable non-slip, soft-grip reduces vibration and fatigue. Serious about reliability, Milwaukee backs the battery pack with a 2000-charge warranty. The batteries are 24 percent lighter than 18-volt Ni-Cad?s, too, offering 18-volt power with the same weight as a tool equipped with a 14.4-volt battery. A battery fuel gauge displays remaining run-time for peace of mind. And, the tool switches easily between drill, drive, and hammer modes for less downtime --Brian Olson What?s in the Box

Milwaukee 0824-24 18-Volt Lithium-Ion Hammer Drill Kit Reviews
ever since i got this cordless drill I stopped lugging around my corded power drill. theres enough power for everything. gets the job done well. Cons: no light, no magnet holder (like ryobi), and no belt holder (nothing so important) highly recommended. the hammer drill function works great. bec.
I did not notice any less power before the battery died. I was driving 1 1/2" screws through plywood and part way though one screw, it stopped. This thing surpasses my old black and decker cordless by miles. It drives 3" screws through 2x4s without even breaking a sweat. The batteries hold a charge for a long time. The drill wouldn't even move without a load on it.
I have used many dewalt high end XRP models, and almost bought one. Unless I was building a deck, I don't think I could use up a battery before the second one is done charging (Less than a hour). I've had this drill for a little while now and it sure does pay off to buy quality tools. I was skeptical about the hammer drill function, but it works very well in a pinch without the need to drag a cord to the site. I think that this drill is built better than the dewalts, but either would be a great choice. Put on the second battery and was back off to work.
Finally, they really mean it when they say the lithium ion batteries will just stop when they are dead.
Outstanding quality, attention to detail, precise switches etc. Tons of power, fun to use. A little heavy, but not bad.
i haven't tried the milwaukee compact drill/driver, but i might err on the side of getting that unless you really want to have a hammerdrill and will only use it for small holes (under 3/8") in masonry. if you're using it a lot then go with a bosch bulldog ($220), if not then go with the bosch hammerdrill that goes for about $120. the good: it's heavy duty. the bad: it's heavy. if you're going to use a hammerdrill more than once in a while i would definitely recommend going with a corded hammerdrill or rotary hammer. it does what i need it to do and then some. the hammerdrill isn't very powerful. i use a dewalt 18v at work all the time because it's what we have, but when i work for myself this is what i use.
it's solid as hell that's for sure. versatile and should last a long time. overall i'm happy with the purchase. it's as powerful as you're likely to need in the non-hammerdrill mode.
This was a little unnerving at first (I thought drill broke). I have found the batteries charge much faster than stated, about 30 minutes from empty to full and they last much longer than any NiCad tool I own. The tool has a steel chuck that has a distinct ratcheting locking mechanism which can be tightened or loosened one handed. Same applies for the forward/reverse switch. All together a solid tool that feels good in your hand with ample power. Cheap way to get a $200+ Li-Ion Sawzall. The built in battery life meter can prevent this from happening.
Nice having the drill and driver as separate selections - allows selection of drill without changing the torque setting of the driver mode when going between pre-drilling and fastening sequence. Drill/driver/hammer drill selector and gear select are all easy to operate and readily accessible but not likely to be selected inadvertently. Reversible battery actually feels more balanced in backward position, but not a noteworthy feature in my opinion, other than if a connector ever fails there is a backup. I was leery about buying yet another quality "American" tool now manufactured in China, but despite the cheap made in China connotation this is a very well constructed & designed, powerful tool. When they deplete, unlike NiCads, the tool will completely stop with little warning. Note: I bought the tool only Sawzall 6515-20 (which is listed as a NiCad saw) and the batteries that come with this drill are a match.
Locks very securely and releases easily, I haven't had a drill bit or driver come loose yet.
