"Funky flashlight" 2010-03-26
By Michael Moore
Funcky flashlight is brighter than most, compact and easy to hold. Ergonomic excellence at work.

"Great cordless add-on" 2010-01-30
By F. Ong (Kailua, Hawaii USA)
Bought this as an add-on for my Milwaukee cordless 18v system. It is a great add-on! Very bright, balanced so it will stand on most any surface and the head swivels up and down for help with directional lighting. Did I say it is very bright? Does much better than my DeWalt cordless flashlight. Could be the bulb used but there is a significant difference. If you have the 18v system, this is a no brainer purchase to add to your system.

"Heads up" 2009-08-09
By Jerry Wheeler (Oregon City, OR)
Heads up. This work light will not fit the new series LiI batteries that Milwaukee is selling. The Part No. that fits the new batteries is 49-24-0171 and is part of the "M" series tools. This lamp only fits the older style batteries.

"Great, versatile homeowner drill." 2010-04-22
By Clembert (Los Angeles, CA United States)
This drill is definitely powerful, though for big jobs I'll still break out a corded drill instead of a battery powered one.

Pros:

- powerful.

- definitely drills in concrete up to its rated hole size.

- in driver mode, the clutch is useful to keep you from over torquing.

- reasonably good value.

- good strong metal chuck.

- keyless ratchet chuck.

- Lithium Ion batteries charge quickly.

Cons:

- No side handle can make drilling in tough surfaces (concrete) a little tricky.

- No depth guide.

- Battery life is not fantastic when the drill really has to work (four or five half inch holes in a masonry wall and its time for a fresh battery). Does last all day drilling frequent small wholes in wood or drywall.

Overall this is a fantastic drill that I would recommend to anyone. Best cordless drill you'll ever need (but you'll probably still need a corded one as well for big jobs).

"milwaukee tools" 2010-03-16
By gary dixon (wv usa)
i have worked in the coal mines and i did purchasing for over 35 yrs and when the electricians and mechainics wanted tools to work with you could not afford to buy something that would not hold up and one of the items they always wanted was a milwaukee products because it would hold up in the conditions that the coal miners would put it thru, and that is a lot, so now i only buy milwaukee because of the experence that i had with this product you can save money on other products but when you want something to last, you get what you pay for and milwaukee is one of the best out there because it works for you, and if somthing does happen to this product we never had a problem getting it fixed under warrenty, as long as it was warranty time period but that is rare that something would happen but like all man made things, it does happen, but its rare for milwaukee,

"get the 550 in. lbs. model and not this one" 2010-03-15
By Bryan Sanders (Chicago)
No idea why but Milwaukee makes the 2602 in two versions and this one produces 450 in. lbs. of torque and the other produces 550 in. lbs. of torque. It may be that the smaller battery cannot provide enough juice to the drill motor to sustain more torque as the RPM is the same and the torque load should also be the same for both drills.

I bought the 450 inch pound version and having used the 650 inch pound rated 2611 I found there to be a very big difference in power. Difficult drilling operations that the 2611 could handle would stop the 2602 (450 in. lb. version) in its tracks. This also made a big difference in battery life. Boring a single very large hole with the 2611 would drain 25% of the battery charge. Drilling the same size hole in the same material with the 2602 would drain 100% of the battery charge.

For making holes under 1" diameter in wood or smaller than 3/8" in metal or drilling No. 10 screws that are 2" or shorter and this drill will perform well. But go past this to tougher jobs and the drill quickly stumbles. It is too bad that Milwaukee makes two 2602 drills with much different power ratings. With lithium-ion battery power the problem is actually more pronounced thanks to the overload protection.

We switched over to the new modern big gullet hole cutters last year and now cut holes in a fraction of the time and get many more holes per charge. The 5" size is a good test of a drill's true torque and available power that only takes a few minutes and a sawhorse and some scrap plywood or OSB. The time required to make the hole, the amount of battery charge used, and how smooth the cutting is all varies quite a lot and makes a drill's strength or weakness easy to see and measure.

Cut wood, MDF, OSB, laminates, Hardie & chipboard, plaster, drywall, brick, Formica

The Milwaukee drill chuck is excellent as is the clutch and the charger is one of the few intuitive ones that has a red light on when a battery is charging and changes to green when it is complete. Opposite of the way the Hitachi charger works, and the DeWalt charger is also color challenged. Milwaukee makes the best tool cases and the ones for their lithium-ion powered drills are no exception. There is a place for everything that hold everything tightly.

Get the 2602-22 model with the 550 in. lb. rating or get a 2611 which is not a lot more money if you plan on heavy duty use for the drill. Lithium-ion power is both good and bad, and less bad the more powerful the drill and the larger the battery. Lighter drills are fine for light duty tasks but with lithium-ion batteries they also fad quickly when the going gets tough.

Milwaukee 2602-22 M18 18-Volt Cordless 1/2-Inch Hammer Drill/Driver Kit

"excellent light duty drill" 2010-03-01
By Michael Winters
This is not a heavy duty 18 volt drill that can be used anywhere a cord drill would be used, but for general drilling and screw driving it is a very good drill and the kit is the designed of any on the market. It starts when you open the Milwaukee carry case that is very well built and has a nook for every item, nothing bounces around as with other cases, and there is even a small place to put commonly used drills and screw driving extensions. The drill has the graduations marked as part of the collar and recessed so they will never wear off and are easy to see. The clutch adjustment for screw driving is very smooth and the graduations work well for getting the right setting for whatever size screw is being used. The chuck does a good job of holding small bits but when boring where there is a lot of vibration it will loosen and need to be re-tightened (true with Makita and Hitachi chucks as well).

The half size battery cartridge keeps the weight down of the drill but it is also part of what limits the drill to light to medium duty use. Drilling a difficult hole in a tough material like MDF will quickly deplete the battery charge in just a few holes. The half size battery provides half the power for half as long as a full size battery on a drill like the Milwaukee 2611 (which I also own and use).

Hammer action is good and will get the job done for holes in concrete within its rated size range but the drill does not come with a side handle or a way to attach one later and Milwaukee does not make side handles that hold a depth rod. Again this is a drill designed for DIY projects the average homeowner is likely to take on.

Having a LED light is a big plus and it is odd that all drills made today do not include this as a standard item, cord and cordless alike. It not only helps to spot the area to be drilled or a screw head but can be used to check a measurement or a level when the lighting is not great, as in an attic or crawspace or in a closet or cupboard.

The charger works well and is easy to figure out - red when charging and green when it is done. Why all the drill manufacturers cannot make it this simple is something I cannot understand. Milwaukee has a cord that can accept another plug so one outlet can be used for the charger and can still be used for another tool.

For most purposes this kit is all anyone will ever need and the lithium-ion batteries will provide many recharge cycles and they hold a charge for a very long time. When you use a drill infrequently it is great to not have to recharge the battery first every time. This is the real advantage to lithium-ion batteries and makes up for the problems with the overload protection that restricts their ability to power drills.

Truly a class act all the way. But if you do want a drill to put in a new deck or similar projects you will be happier with drills like the Milwaukee 2611 or the DeWalt DCD970 which are in another performance class altogether.

"Max Power, Longest Lasting" 2009-08-02
By R. P. KROENING (SE Wisconsin)
I recently purchased the Milwaukee M18 Hammer/Drill/Driver mainly because of the Brand integrity but also because I was tired of carrying many extra batteries that ran out of juice too soon. This one surprised me, completely. I'm more of a weekend project warrior and this one completed many tasks that I normally would use my old Black & Decker in combination with an electric drill. I actually used this drill for 3 days before I broke out the second battery for the first time. And the available power and torque is amazing, far surpassing the capabilities of even my electric drill. One should note that two hands should be used when you know it will be a tough job because the torque of this lightweight monster could put a serious hurt on your wrist. Now I'm looking to replace ALL my cordless tools with the M18 Family. The M18 6.5 inch circular saw is next on my list. Yeah, they cost more than most of your average tools, but the benefits far outweigh and are totally worth it.

"Great battery for home or light work use" 2009-04-10
By K.C. (Long Island,NY)
First of all, the new M18 batteries are not compatible with the older 18V version tools. That being said, let's move along. This battery is just fine for working around the house or light construction. It is lighter weight than the M18XC batteries. If you want a work horse battery, step up to the M18XC batteries. By the way, Dan's an idiot. Pay no attention to his reviews. He is an overpriced DeWalt fan boy that is screwing up the ratings on Amazon.

"Awesome Battery" 2009-01-14
By J. Clark
This Li-Ion battery is a godsend. It's very light and compact and provides remarkable power. The wonderful thing about Li-Ion batteries is you get almost full power until it dies. Recharges fast and doesn't have a "memory" like other batteries so you can charge it up again before it's discharged. This battery also has a test button so you can see how much charge is left.

Note, this battery only fits Milwaukee COMPACT drill/drivers and impact wrenches Milwaukee 2691-22 18-Volt Compact Drill and Impact Wrench Combo Kit. I own the drill/driver for small tasks like driving screws and drilling small holes. I use it 80% of the time. Awesome tool. The other 20% of the time I use the Milwaukee 28volt drill/driver Milwaukee 0724-24 V28 Lithium-Ion 1/2-Inch Cordless Hammer Drill/Driver Kit. It's unbelievable for bigger tasks.

"Too smart for its own good" 2010-01-27
By Bud
I don't know if mine was defective or if it's a design flaw, but mine kept cutting out. The only way to get the accessory plugged into it to turn back on was to unplug the battery (again and again). This product does not have an on/off switch and seems to sense the power drawn by the accessory that you have plugged in. I suspect the problem I was having in some (but not all) accessories was that they drew too little power to get the Milwaukee Power Port to turn on or stay on. Again, I think it's a chicken-and-egg problem. Think Energy Star. The accessory is waiting for 12V to "wake up" but the Power Port is waiting for something to draw current before making 12V. I suspect it might also be worse with digital-type power supplies. In the end, mine was unacceptable as it would not deliver consistent power. I originally thought it was a rip-off price for just taking 12V of M12 battery and connecting it to a cigarette lighter socket with maybe a 5V regulator for the USB, but apparently it has a lot of auto-sensing, overload, underload, etc., "smarts" in it which makes it too smart for its own good. It's too bad because it would have been a really good product. Oh, and hole in the red plastic at the top is too small. You really have to force some plugs in and out.

"I keep in my backpack just in case." 2009-08-09
By Erik H. Reppen (Chicago)
I love knowing that as long as I have a car charger with me and an m12 battery that's been charged in the last couple months, I'll never be out of juice for my cellphone or Nintendo DS again. Phenomenally good idea. Now all they need is a solar power charging unit for the batteries. This silly little doo-dad brings huge appeal to Milwaukee's m12 line, IMO but I was sold on it already.

"One awesome powerful cordless drill" 2010-01-27
By J. Mccart (Pacific Northwest, USA)
Watch for the complainers out there, who think they've been ripped, jipped, etc. and take it out by giving this drill a bad review.

This is an awesome drill...with the quality assurance Milwaukee is famous for. Sure, some of the complaints may be legitimate, however, they do not detract from the performance and quality of this drill. The 28 volt, lithium ion battery lasts for hours of good use, and is quick to recharge. The keyless chuck is amazingly tight, even with the smallest drill bits, and very quick/easy to change between bits.

I will not go into all the details and finer points of this drill. The 5-year warranty, and other good reviews speak for itself. I also bought the work light that uses the same battery, (MLW49-24-0185 V28), and it is the most amazing light I have found. Just read the many great reviews for it.

"Amazing drill" 2008-01-30
By Matthew W. Pletcher
I'm a commercial electrician and use this drill daily. Sometime for hours at a time. It has a ton of power. 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'm constantly using large bore step bits to drill into steel j-boxes, door frames, etc. It's perfect. I have 3 other cordless drills and they stay at home. This is the only one I take to the job site with me every day. I'm so hard on this thing. I use it and use it hard. I have no clue what Consumer Reports could have possibly done to break it. I've used it so hard the drill body was too hot to rest your palm on and it didn't even smell. I've dropped it off a 10 foot step ladder onto concrete, picked it back up and used it the rest of the day. 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 can't say enough about how extremely durable it is.

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 the Milwaukee 28v cordless SDS hammer drill for 99% of my hammer drilling anyway. (that drill is a superb hammer drill BTW)

As far as the other reviewers rating the drill down, READ THE PRODUCT DESCRIPTION!. Under the caption "What's in the box", it says one hammer drill! That's it! READ next time you fools!

"Milwaukee 28v Hammer Drill" 2007-12-02
By P. Johnson (USA)
I purchased the "bare tool" because I have some v28 batteries, I like them because they stay charged on the shelf (within reason). This drill broke in Consumer Reports testing of hammer drills. Also, it is made in China. Performed very well in drilling concrete block for anchors. The side handle is the best yet of Bosch, DeWalt, Makita that I own. It is easily adjustable and stays put. UPDATE: 11/09 Recently had a conversation with a sales person at H.D. orange store. He said that they (H.D) are no longer pushing the 28v Millwaukee stuff due to the many failures in this line of tools. Basically because Millwaukee is using 28 volts on 18 volts guts.

If you are looking for something to drill a few lightweight holes and drive drywall screws, it might be the tool for you. I like that it has a high speed for drilling, but it will not drive any screws of #10 x 1 1/2" or larger with any authority whatsoever even on the slow-speed, high torque setting. Not a replacement for your larger, conventional battery drill. Not even close.

I too purchased this 28v hammer drill/driver as part of Milwaukee's four piece kit. I'm a DIY guy, not a contractor. I own a big 100 year old place. I've built a 6' fence, and am working on a playhouse / storage shed. I am building with rough cut birch from a saw mill that went out of business years ago. Between the 100 year old fir and this well seasoned birch my smaller drills lacked the torque to sink screws consistently.

Since I purchased this 28v drill, I have yet to meet it's match. It has never failed. I'm a big guy so the weight of this drill is not an issue. When going to a smaller drill, the smaller drill does feel very light after using this one. Having this drill has increased my productivity tremedously on these jobs that require the 600#'s of torque. It's nice to know the torque is there when needed.

The two batteries are plenty to keep you going as long a day as you are up to working. We live so far north that we have summer days with sunlight from 3:30am to 10:30pm. "Rome wasn't built in a day, but you can move a lot of cement in a day". You can get a lot done in a day with this tool. Yes, I love it.

"milwaukee 28volt drill, powerful but poorly built" 2009-10-29
By Morgan C. Reid (houston, tx)
I use this drill everyday, and i can tell you its a powerful drill. I bought this drill approximately one month ago and since that day have had the trigger sticking on a daily basis and have had the chuck screw fallout numerous times. I have been lucky enough to find it when it fallsout nearly evertime and i just put it back in. My supervisor owns the same drill and had to send his in for repair for the same problem but when his fell out so did the chuck and the chuck then broke.Well now i have lost the screw this time and decided that this is enough. Brought it back to the store i bought it from for an even exchange. Hope this drill changes my mind but as far as im concerned this drill is a safety hazard and its not just an isolated incident. Dont buy this drill if you want to keep your fingers and dont wanna waste the 400$ this high priced finger hazard of machine will cost you. BUY A DEWALT

This tool delivers what it says it will. If you want a tool that is going to work as hard as you do, make working a pleasure and have the safety and strength to continuously deliver, buy this tool. This tool is not a wimp, it is designed to work, is heavy but delivers.

"You Let Me Down" 2009-10-02
By nicsin
The 18 volt was better by far I used the 28volt for the first month and it was fine but after that the charger stopped working and the batteries together stopped holding the charge. And believe me I take care of my tools, out of the cold when it's cold and charged properly as I do. NEVER AGAIN !!!!!!!!!!!!

"ONE BAD [...] GUN" 2009-08-14
By Jimmy Morelli (South Boston, MA)
I reviewed the regular 18 volt by mistake so I copied the review and pasted it here. I had used Dewalt when I worked with the Teamsters years back, it was a good gun but it can not compare to this machine. The gun I had was the model with the hammer drill setting I used this gun for work, drilling into 1/4 steal colums as well as concrete on a daily basis and work it did. The torque this thing has is incredible, close to a corded gun, well not the ones we had, they'd snap your wrist if you weren't careful, but this has torque, 2x stronger than Dewalt in my book if not more. The veratility this gun has was a great advantage not to mention the life in its battery pack. If you charge it correctly to start these guns hold power, light work a battery could get you through a 10 hour day, heavy work, like hammer drill mode you would need 2 in a 10 hour day, which is great, guys with dewalts usually had 4 batteries and 2 chargers cause they needed it. I would of given this thing a 5 out of 5 but I blew the clutch after a year of hard abuse. Its not easy for any cordless gun to drill into concrete, even if they say they have hammer drill capabilities. That's why I gave it a 4 out of 5, the boss ended up replacing it with a refurbished model, worked just as good, he never sent the damaged one in for repair though always wondered why. If I had the money right now I would buy this gun, no questions asked. My 12 year old Dewalt I have at home has seen better days.

"One Great Worklight!" 2010-03-15
By MashBill (KS, USA)
This is a very nice work light. It's plenty bright and runs for a long time on one lithium pack. The pivoting head and the magnetic pad are very useful and have come in handy more than I would have guessed. Another high quality Milwaukee tool.

"Good beam pattern, but mediocre otherwise" 2009-12-27
By Bud
The best part about this flashlight is that it has a very usable beam pattern. It has a wide spot broadening out to a flood with a very usable spill beam. This makes it good for working in close quarters. Many other flashlights have a very narrow spot light which may impress you with its intensity, but overall is poor because you are not using this type of flashlight in a search-and-rescue. It is for broad illumination in an electric box, under a dashboard, under a sink, etc. Without a good beam pattern, you are constantly having to adjust the aim. For beam pattern, I give it 4 stars.

As others have noted, the magnet is nearly useless. It only works in a vertical position and is too often confused with the power switch. In using the magnet once, it fell giving a good crash to the floor. I bet it won't survive too many of those.

The head pivots from 90 degrees horizontal to vertical. This is vastly better than popular "mag" flashlights that only point in one direction. This one will stand on end and can be aimed. The base of the standard battery is small, so it is easily tipped. Milwaukee makes an M12 XC battery with twice the capacity which makes this flashlight much more stable, but unfortunately Amazon doesn't carry this battery yet. (The XC is a great battery.) There are, however, many other competing work lights which have the ability to aim down. This is very useful for shining light down into something. This one won't do that.

My main reason for giving this only 3 stars, though, is as follows. Milwaukee puts a 14.4V bulb in this. It says to use only 12V bulb 49-81-0020, but alas, this is a 14.4V bulb. The impact of this is significant as the light is a dim, yellow beam, perhaps only 50% as bright as if it was a 12V XPR bulb in there. Electrically, it is only drawing only 69% of what it would at 14.4V, but maybe this is to cut down on heat. Because of the lower voltage, however, more of that 69% is just going to heat. I may try to salvage this a star by putting in a 12V bulb from DeWalt. But, I shouldn't have to. Note that Milwaukee does not sell a 12V in any of their line.

I also have their M12 LED light, and while having the same magnet flaws, etc., the beam is much better, probably the best I have seen in a small flash light/work light.

"It's Just a Flashlight" 2009-12-23
By John Safranek (Charlotte, NC)
It's just a flashlight with a magnet.

Spend your money on a MagLite or some other rechargeable light.

This flashlight is not that bright and can easily fall over.

Your money can be best spent elsewhere

"Great light but it gets hot!" 2009-06-01
By The Accretion Desk (Under the Big Sky, Montana)
I love this little light, but the bulb technology gets way hot. Once while working under a dashboard with it, I put the back of my arm into the front of the light. Youch!

Also, the battery is on par with conventional flashlights but I'm used to LED performance now. Something this size would do better as an LED rather than Xenon.

But overall, I recommend it if you already have the battery system.

"Amazon saved the day" 2010-02-12
By Will Plotner Jr.
I initally bought two set of tools and gave one set to my dad for Christmas. Upon setting up he had the bolt that sets the circular saw blade break off in the saw. I contacted Amazon and would you believe had set to me within 3 working days. They gave me 30 days to get the broken one back, but got us a new set that fast. WOW! They also provided a packing label for UPS or FEDEX (I can't remember) so we didn't have to pay chipping for the new set or the broken set to get back to AMAZON.

This is a credit to both the retainer (Amazon) and I assume the manufacturer for staning behind their product.

I'm a true believer and very satisfied with the tools since this little incident.

"This Combo Kit is Your Best Deal" 2009-12-21
By D. Hare (Keystone State, USA)
I just purchased this combo and have had no problems with charging or batteries. If you do happen to encounter any issues and need support, either Amazon or Milwaukee will assist with an exchange or return. NO WORRIES.

Purchase this kit with confidence.

This is a great kit for the $$ and you will have the tools to tackle most any job.....all without the cords!

"These Things are Terrible!" 2009-12-11
By Michael T. Ogburn
I received the tools on a Thursday and was excited about them as I usually am when I get new tools. Put the battery on the charger figured after 30 minutes I could see how they worked. Since that's what I have seen with all of the other Li-ion battery tools. After 30 minutes nothing happened no power tried the flashlight the drill and the saw in case it was the particular tool. Then I ran to town to grab some dinner. Tried the other battery when I got back nothing happened again. Well I gave it one last shot let one of the batteries charge overnight. Again this morning nothing happened. I have had milwaukee stuff before and liked it very much. But this set is the biggest joke I have ever ordered and they are going back.

"Reliability (and warranty service) dissappoint" 2010-02-22
By D. J. Smith (Mountain View, CA USA)
I bought the 2401-20 driver drill. Nice, convenient tool. It came with this charger. Unfortunately the charger died (similar symptoms as another reviewer here). What really frustrated me was the warranty service. I called my local serivce center and they asked me to produce the receipt. Remember that this product has a 5-year warranty, and has been in the market for <1 year. I'm basically S*O*L unless I can produce the receipt. Very un-impressive for a company that used to produce the most rugged tools on a jobsite.

"Works great - 5 stars - if you get a good one" 2009-08-30
By Brian J. Buehler (Michigan, USA)
Having purchased both the M12 drill and Hackzall kits, I've had 3 of these chargers in my posession. Only 1 worked perfectly out of the package. The first charger (with the drill kit), thought both battery packs were defective. Amazon sent me a new kit - with it's charger, all battery packs charged fine. Wanting more batteries and another charger, I ordered the Hackzall kit. Inserting the first battery to charge again lit the faulty pack lights. Looking into the charging well, one of the extra 3 sensor contacts was bent down flat on the bottom of the well. Bending it back got the charger working. While it's great that it was a simple problem, a factory fresh charger should not have a problem with functioning.

When I took the charger with the bent contact apart (T10 security bit), the inside of the charger seemed well designed. The case seems to be made of polycarbonate and the circuit boards are the high quality glass variety. There is no potting compound over the circuit parts like in the V18/28 chargers though. Also, the plug on the M12 charger is not a pass through like on the V18/28 chargers.

If Milwaukee sorts out the bugs and sends you a working charger, it's probably a 5 star device (it even has slots on the back for wall mounting!).

"Great work light, much more useful than I anticipated!" 2010-03-27
By Matthew D. Smith
I recently bought the Milwaukee 2694-24 M18 4 Tool Combo Kit here on Amazon for a great price, and I figured I would review each tool that comes in this kit once I have had a chance to use it more than just a few times or after I test it on a few jobs, then I can more accurately give my feedback on each tool as well as the kit as a whole, which as I can say after only two days of ownership the kit is this far a 5 out of 5 in my book.

I am starting by reviewing the work light because besides the drill it is the tool I have used the most thus far! I have not had a chance to give the Sawzall or Circular Saw true tests yet beyond making a few cuts. Anyway this work light has exceeded my expectations, usually these are thrown in with a combo kit just so they can call it a 4 tool kit instead of 3 and they typically are more of an afterthought than a useful tool that you grab for often. But this light has a few cool features that separate it from some of the others. First off it is very light weight yet still doesn't feel too cheap esp. once you get the battery on it. It has nice thick rubber material all over it so it is easy and to grip and feels nice in your hand, it also has rubber around the plastic lens which could prevent it from shattering should the light sustain a fall, but I am sure the plastic is shatter resistant anyway. The pivoting head is nice as well, it has 12 different positions that it can go into and it makes a nice click sound so you know. It can also be positioned straight up which I find very useful, not only for ceiling work/painting but lighting an entire dark room, when you point it straight up and place it in the middle of the room it gives you the candle effect and does it very well due to its huge beam pattern.

As for the lights output, well it is extremely bright to say the least, much brighter than I expected. I have not used a ton of portable work lights but I cant really see needing anything brighter than this unless you work in a coal mine all day. As mentioned it also has a huge beam pattern that will cover an entire wall easily. I am happy about this because I was a little disappointed when I learned it did not have an LED base bulb but honestly that is not as big of a concern now that I have used it, although I do prefer the white light output of an LED to the yellow tint that a Xenon bulb produces. As you probably already know the built in hook is very thoughtful as well as useful, it folds away into the body of the light. I find myself driving a screw into a stud just to have someplace to hang the light off of. Although it is plenty stable sitting on the ground, esp. with the XC battery. I should also mention I tried both the XC battery and the smaller compact 48-11-1815 battery and there is no visible difference in light output, just how long it lasts I assume but even with the compact battery it must last a long time because I left it on for an hour by accident and it was only down to 3 bars on the battery gauge, I think I read that it should go for 5 hours with the XC battery so around 3 with the smaller one would be my guess and that is very good IMO.

There are really only a few minor cons I can think of, I mean this is only a work light after all, you can't find too much wrong with it if it works well. But for one thing it does indeed get a little toasty to the touch as another review mentioned. I am not surprised that a bulb putting out this much light is going to generate some heat, it is not a cause for concern. You are not going to burn yourself touching it and it will not affect anything, just something to keep in mind. Also another nitpick here is that the hook opening is only just under an inch and a quarter making it too small to hook around some stuff that you would like it to hang from, for example I was working in a closet and it would not hang from the clothes rod, again this is just nitpicking, overall it is a great light that is extremely bright and seems like it will hold up over the years durability wise. I am giving the light a 4 overall mainly because I think that they should be using LED's in all of their lights now, the M12 line has them and Milwaukee advertises their M18 LED light as being able to last for 12 hours on a single charge which doesn't surprise me but that is double the rated run time of this light which would be nice and as I already mentioned I prefer the white light output of an LED lamp.

"Bright light" 2009-04-10
By K.C. (Long Island,NY)
This Worklight does not come with batteries, so if you don't have M18 batteries you will have to buy them and a charger separately. Worklight is very bright. I hooked up a M18XC battery and turned the light on and it stayed lit for hours without draining the battery. I finally shut it off so I didn't burn up the bulb (it only comes with one). The head pivots and there is a hook to hang it from making it very versatile. A magnet, like on the previous version would have been nice but it doesn't have one. Great rechargeable flashlight.

"Delivers as promised" 2009-03-27
By R. Doll (Rives Jct, MI)
Standard work light that compliments Milwaukee's new M18 line. Provides ample light and good run time. It generates a lot more heat than my old work light, but nothing that takes away from the performance. Overall a I am very happy with this light.

"Awesome Product, Long Life Batteries, Quick Charging" 2010-04-01
By Anthony L. Bowers
I have owned several electric screwdrivers in the past. All have had big limitations. Typical problems were:

- didn't hold a charge for very long during use

- would loss their charge during uses

- the batteries would eventually die and cost too much to replace, if you could even find them

- would not have enough power

- power would not be adjustable enough

- would be awkward to hold

- would take too long to charge

- slow turning

I got this unit on Amazon over a year ago and have not experienced any of the above problems. Quite the opposite. It is one of the best made power tools (I guess you can call this a 'power' tool, he he) that I have ever used.

It has plenty of power and can be finely adjusted. I have never timed it, but I think a battery charges in less than 30 minutes, well before the other battery in the unit will run down. One very neat thing - it has a 5 step gauge to let you know how much battery life is left in the battery while you are using it!

It's been awhile since I purchased it, so I am not positive, but I think it only came with one screwdriver head, a phillips. I would have liked for it to have came with a set of 3 phillips and 3 flat screwheads, of different sizes. That and the price are the only downsides. It is a bit pricy for an electric screwdriver.

Course, you can purchase a very nice Milwaukee screwhead set for about $10, which I have now done. So, I now have all that I need.

And, yes... as several people have said. 'How did I do ever do without this item?' I use it all the time.

I highly recommend it.

"It has a lot of torque" 2010-02-25
By Michael G. Lustig (NJ USA)
I was impressed with the amount of torque generated by this small cordless screwdriver. Combined with the Milwaukee 48-32-1505 40-Piece Screw Driving Set it handles almost anything that can be screwed. The jointed handle is good for fitting into small spaces. The charger and spare battery are top quality. I don't have any complaints.

"Milwaukee Electric Screwdriver" 2010-01-21
By Billy R. Tolbert
Bought this screwdriver as a replacement for another brand that I used that had broken. The Milwaukee was a bit pricey, but it was worth it because of its adjustable torque, the batteries last a long time and the interchangeable hub. I repair copiers and turning screws all day really makes my wrist sore. That is why I use the electric screwdriver. I would recommend the Milwaukee screwdriver for all the mentioned features and the fact that it will last for a very long time. Also, should it need maintenance, a repair facility is readily available unlike my old screwdriver. If you need an electric screwdriver, I would get this one.

"good screw driver" 2009-11-29
By sokkie touch (Portland, OR)
this tool is not bad in my opinion. this is only the second screw driver i've owned, so don't let my opinion persuade you too much. previous to this milwaukee i had dewalt. this thing is ONLY good for removing and screwing in screws that were removed. not good for drilling, or screwing screws into new holes.

i am a resedential new installation plumber.I bought the hackzall about 1 year ago, and let me tell you this saw is a life saver. it is quick and versitile. i mostly do a lot of topout's and fixture trims. on topout the battery life is good i can go about half a day on 1 battery,but i have 2 so i can usually go about the whole day. on trim i can set about 5 houses before i have to change 1 battery. so it works very exceptional on trim. the other day i went to go rough in a 2 and a half bath house. i did the whole house on 1 battery. i was amazed. thats with cutting pvc and rebar stakes to stake up the pipe for fall. i love this saw . and everyday i am very glad i purchased it.

"Under sink WONDER" 2010-04-14
By D. Burns (ca)
I have to say this is one of the best tools ever made. I bought the thing just for under sink cutting. It does the job perfect. I have allways said the best tool made was the sawsall and now it has a little brother. If you do plumbing under sinks or in tight places you will love this tool. I would have given this tool five stars if the battery lasted alittle longer.

"good for light / delicate work" 2010-04-01
By D. Moses (IL, USA)
Fairly well balanced and light weight. Battery does not last very long, but recharges quickly.

Works best for relatively delicate carving in softer materials (drywall, wood framing, etc.), basically remodeling type cutting that would be a challenge not to overcut with a traditional sawzall.

I got this hoping it would work well for cutting 1/2" EMT conduit. It will do this task, but cuts through the metal slow enough, that it is worth dealing with the cord to use a normal sawzall. Despite not working well at the task I got it for, I've found enough other odd-ball tasks to make it worth having for me.

If you already have a larger sawzall and need something for more delicate work, this could work for you. For heavier cutting or any metal, I'd recommend a bigger sawzall.

This was perfect for what i wanted.Had trouble with one batt.which was EVENT.

"Not what I was expecting" 2009-12-28
By Jessica Fellini (Boston, MA)
My husband just got this tool for his birthday and he was very disappointed, I could see it cutting through wood and some stuff around the house but that's it. He went through 3 different charged milwaukee batteries in a minute and it still did not cut through a small thin pipe. He is an HVACR mechanic and this tool will not be usefull for his work. The tool had no power and would not cut through what it was described to cut through. Hopefully we will be able to return this and get something more useful.

"Awesome sawzall!" 2009-04-01
By Marty
This saw is awesome! It seems to have more power than a regular 18V, but the best thing is the lithium ion battery with the "fuel gauge" right on the battery that lets you know how much charge is left in the battery. This M18 battery will go and go and go full blast until it loses all charge and then it stops. Probably wouldn't hurt to have a spare battery if you'll be using it for a big job and don't want to have to wait the 30-50 minutes it might take to recharge the battery. I used it to cut a bunch of branches for about 2 hours and I still had juice left in the battery. This saw had more than enough power for what I use it for (small trees, branches, 2x4s with and without nails, wood fence demo, etc.), and the Milwaukee name gives me a feeling of quality. I highly recommend this saw not just because it's a workhorse, it also looks cool!

By Gerald Scott (Simi Valley, CA)
The switch lasted less than a month and was only used on three different occasions not even enough to wear the paint off the blade.

"Good value -- poor longevity" 2009-01-06
By Ken Mckenzie (Lafayette, CA United States)
This is the 3rd battery I've purchased from Amazon. They do the job well enough but they don't last as long as I would like. Like all NiCads they self discharge over several weeks but I expected that they would not die in under 5 years. Instead, they all seem to go after 3 years. I'd be really unhappy if I was paying $30 each (full price). I'd love to be able to upgrade to NiMh or Lithium but I can't find them here.

"Typical Nicad" 2008-11-03
By Duffer. (Conyers, GA United States)
This is a typical nicad battery that is as lame as most nicads. I bougt it because I could not find a quality battery for my Milwaukee screwdriver and this was the only one available. Darn shame but next time I buy a screwdriver it won't have a nicad battery.

I ordered a battery charger for my Milwaukee drill and am more than satisfied with it. The entire process was easy, efficient, and completed with no confusion, gimmicks, or additional run around.

The nice thing about ordering things from Amazon is that it is always a straight up business proposition. The people whom I have had the good fortune to do business with thus far on Amazon are more concerned about the quality of their products because the people who purchase from them do give feedback and recommendations.

This Sawzall is an effective cordless version of Milwaukee's famous corded reciprocating saw. It has a 1-inch stroke with a variable-speed trigger that provides 0 to 2,000 spm. It also features Milwaukee's quick-locking, steel blade-clamp system for fast and easy tool-free blade changing. As a cordless saw, it's great for electricians, plumbers, contractors, demolition experts, or anyone else who wants the freedom to cut through wood or metal quickly without being tethered by a cord. This saw cuts quickly and relatively smoothly for a reciprocating saw, and the 2 amp hr battery offers plenty of run time for most jobs. While the cordless Sawzall does seem to have a relatively low level of vibration, we wish it had a soft-cushion grip on the rear handle. That said, this is unquestionably a tough, effective saw, capable of most any job a corded reciprocating saw can do. --Brian Trinen

"Don't be fooled" 2010-03-13
By Jeffrey E. Fisher (Sierra Mountains)
Don't be fooled. This product is not the Milwaukee you expect. You can imagine my frustration when I purchased this high quality tool only to discover "Made in China." on the label. If I wanted Chinese quality I would have gone to Harbor Freight or purchased a Crafstman. For the price I paid, I expected a quality Milwaukee product made in North America.

"Best one built!" 2009-12-06
By William Reese (Simi Ca.)
I've owned a few sawsalls, and this is by far the best of them. I'm not to brand picky, but a few years ago, my father loaned me his new DeWalt and it worked great. I did however buy the Milwaukee and it was rated 1 amp less. Whoops! But to my suprise, my saw provided both smoother handling and faster cuts! It was like going from a old hot rod to a new hot rod. Both got the job done, but the Milwaukee got me there faster, and with a lot more comfort. That is close to the same feeling I had when first using my V18 cordless tool vs. others. Just a better ride.

"buyer beware" 2009-11-25
By Jason M. Leach
Came with a kit. Whenever it bogs down/jams on the material slightly, the battery drains instantly. Almost useless. Very disappointing. I once was a Milwaukee fan, not any more. The V18 hammer drill that came with the kit caught on fire after one year as well. Haven't tried to get it fixed yet..........Wanted to warn others, so they would not make the same very expensive mistake of a purchase!

By Mark F. (Branson, MO USA)
As an electrician I've used many brands of reciprocating saws and can say in all honesty that the Milwaukee Sawzall beats them all, HANDS DOWN! This thing is one of the first tools I grab to head out to a job. You can cut a lot of conduit on a charge.

This is a great price for the "tool only" deal. I already had plenty of Milwaukee 18 volt batteries/chargers so this made it really affordable. Thanks Amazon!

"having the right tool for the job is so much easier" 2010-03-17
By Jaguar
The specs for the drill can be found a number of places. My own personal experiences are as follows:

I am just beginning to get into cabinet making as a hobby. My current project involves about 1 doz drawers mounted on glides in very tight openings. I knew that my big drill/driver and my smaller drivers would not fit so I considered the following right angle drills:

Dewalt 18v

Bosch 12v

Milwaukee 12v

I decided to buy the Milwaukee based on a number of things:

Size (it is fairly consistent in its size with no large areas to work around)

Balance (the battery balances out the head nicely providing greater control)

Power (power enough to remove 3" screws in hardwood)

Worklight (no need for a third hand installing shelf rails)

The Milwaukee balances quite nicely in the hand and does not have areas that are larger than the actual working portion of the device - unlike the Dewalt and it is rather slim overall - unlike the Bosch. This is especially noticable when working in tight areas. As a result it becomes more like a natural extension of your hand than that of a foriegn object.

I also like the variable speed trigger control and the built-in work light is perfect for placing screws in those dark corners of cabinets.

Some may complain that it only comes with one battery or the case is a soft zippered case instead of a hard case. Valid points- however consider that this Milwaukee is not meant to replace your primary drill that takes a beating and keeps on ticking, but rather to augment it like a fine precision tool for the times when beauty is needed over brawn. The battey issue was not a problem as I never used up the battery when installing the rails. Besides a complety dead battery charges in about 30 minutes and it is a L-ION type so between use refreshes are quite easiliy done with no detimental effect on the battery. A second battery can be stored in the case and the case itself is quite suitable for it purpose and how the tool will be used.

As to power - I recently had to remove some 3" screws that were set in Oak with a corded right angle drill. The Milwaukee had no problem removing them. The clutch worked great and the work light made the process a lot safer.

I am more than pleased with the tool and I am sure that I will create new projects that will allow me to take full advantage of this tools special capabilities.

"Milwwaukee 2415-21 M12 12 volt 3/8 RA Drill/Driver Kit" 2010-01-22
By P. Johnson (USA)
Nice 'lil drill. No chuck wobble, seems to hold bit tightly. Good addition to the M 12 line of power tools. No buyers regret on this tool.

"about the best cordless solution so far..." 2009-12-02
By F. Carrino
Ok this is a very good tool. Milwaukee is very late to the small lithium market but they do appear to have done their homework. I really like the M12 line of Milwaukee tools.

I will focus my review by comparing the M12 to it's main competitor the Bosch PS10-2A both are meant to be lighter duty cordless right angle drill/drivers for tight jobs like installing under cabinet lighting or drawer handles. They are not meant for removing 3/8 lag bolts or other heavy construction needs.

The head length on the M12 is about the same as the Bosch, ok actually it is 1/4 inch longer but it has a ratcheting chuck so it can take drill bits of all kinds without the need for an adapter. the Bosh has a hex speed chuck so you have to use hex drill bits or an adapter which effectively increases the head length well beyond the M12. Both have extended paddle grips, and the grips are both on the chunky side. My in the hand opinion is the M12 feels just a bit thinner and easier to grab. Speed control is much better on the M12 the trigger is very linear and easy to control. The Bosch is very poor in this regard, more of an on/off experience. The Bosch is slightly shorter in overall tool length. I did not measure it but about an inch when configured for rt angle use. Both tools use an electronic clutch and both are awful!!! the lowest setting will still spin out of a philips head when in a tight corner. Mechanical clutch would add weight and some bulk so it is a compromise. the M12 has more torque (100 vs 80) and a higher no load rpm (800 vs 600)

Now for the real kickers. The M12 has a spindle lock! Now why do you care? It allows you to use the tool as a "wrench" to finish tightening a screw or bolt by hand! the is very handy and allows for some muscle or finesse that you can not get with the Bosch. The M12 comes in a very nice case with a charger and feels very solid in the hand. Excellent tool.

So why why only 4 stars.. well two things the electronic clutch and the main reason... only comes with one battery! It is already a bit pricier then the Bosch (about $10 as of this writing) but the Bosch comes with 2 batteries. A spare M12 battery is about $40 so this is no small matter. I love this tool, I can forgive the clutch, but the lack of a second battery in what is suppose to be a pro tool is beyond cheap.

"NiCad MUCH stronger than original" 2009-04-11
By Stellarg (Erie, PA)
Nearly bought a new lithium ion drill-driver/flashlight kit but saved about $180 to rejuvinate what I thought was a hopeless situation. 10 year old Milwaukee 3/8" drill-driver works as well as when new...even better with the 2.4 Amp battery. Originals died because I let run on flashlight until dead thinking I was 'exersising' it for longevity...but learning too late that method will ruin the battery. I have used occasionaly for 11 years, and hated to part with excellently performing drill and good flashlight. I purchase this battery as a last resort; charges on the original charger and seems to last 4x longer than the original battery (1.8 Ah). Pricey but worth it!

"Doesn't hold a charge" 2009-03-01
By John Dow (Indian Head, MD USA)
I tried to take care of the batteries for two years, by not leaving them in the charger for more than it took to charge them up, just charging them up when I used them, not over-discharging them. But they both stopped holding a charge after less than two years. When they're new the drill works great.

"ONE HELL OF A SAW" 2010-02-10
By Norman Renehan (MIDWEST/INDIANA)
I HAVE TRIED OTHER CORDLESS SAWS, LIKE SEARS, OR KAWASAKI, AND THERE IS NO COMPARISON TO THIS MILWAUKEE 18 VOLT SAW. just PICKING IT UP, YOU HAVE THE "FEEL" OF A REAL SAW, AND THEN USING IT IS EVEN A BETTER FEELING. AND THE PRICE WAS LOWER THAN ANYWHERE I'VE SEEN AROUND, AND TRUST ME, I LOOK AROUND BEFORE I PURCHASE ANYTHING OF VALUE....

"Very powerful but a little heavy" 2010-01-30
By F. Ong (Kailua, Hawaii USA)
Bought this as an add-on to my Milwaukee 18v hammer drill set. It really completes the cordless set and amplifies the capabilities of being cordless.

This saw is very powerful and can cut through a lot more than my older Dewalt. For one thing the blade is much larger at 6.5" while the Dewalt was only the odd 5-3/8" blade. That size was okay but always was just short of fulfilling the needed cut depth. This size is more conventional and hence usable. The saw itself handles very nicely; especially for right-handers.

Cons: It is a little heavy for a cordless so it is harder to use as a "trim saw". RPM of blade is a little slow so you have to be aware of this so you don't try to jam too much wood through while cutting. But it will eventually get the job done and with the 18 volt battery it will last so you don't have to be so conscious of using up the battery.

Bought this at $69 so I can't complain.

"Made In China, Not USA" 2010-01-28
By James L. Moline (St. Paul, Minnesota)
This saw seems to be of high quality. I just want to mention that it is not made in the USA as two of the reviewers mention. It is made in China. Milwaukee told me when I called today that all of their cordless circular saws are made in China.

"Three P's- perfect price and product" 2009-07-12
By Daniel B. Boot (Grand Rapids, MI United States)
Well balanced yet heavy duty; cast aluminum base plate; love the left side saw blade so a right-hander can see the cut without having to look over the saw; great price and it came quickly

"Excellent design and engineering, these people know tools" 2009-05-23
By Stephen Cunningham (Northern Michigan)
This is a great tool. It is quiet, very smooth running and well balanced. It cuts like it has eyes! I have a lot of cordless circular saws DeWalt, (2) Milwaukee (1) Craftsman (2) Black & Decker (1) Ryobi (1) Makita (1) Denali (1) and probably a couple I have forgot about. They range in blade size from around 4" to the 36 volt DeWalt 7 ¼ inch. The Milwaukee is the first saw I reach for when cutting O.S.B, plywood or 2x or smaller lumber. The lack of any vibration and the great sight line make it easy to make very precise cuts on a variety of materials. The stamped aluminum shoe isn't going to break if you drop it. It will bend and you can straighten it out unlike a cast aluminum shoe as used on some other saws. I don't know what else to say, it is a tough saw, it doesn't look very special but it sure does work good. And it is one of the quietest circular saws I own.

"milwaukee v28 issues" 2009-12-19
By Jeanie M. Beazley
i've been using the v28 line since they came out. i have a 4 piece combo. i am disappointed in the line all together. when i first got them, i was impressed. but after using them for several years, they are aggravating. milwaukee has an issue with their battery. i lost treack a long time ago how many i have went thru. if you are lucky, you will get about a year and a half. the tool distributor has always exchanged them no questions asked, but it is very annoying to have to keep returning them. in fact, i bought a spare just so i can keep 2 goin all the time. i have never seen or heard of any of these getting over 500 recharges while milwaukee claims 2000. i wished they would have done test studies before releasing them. i guess thats why dewalt waited almost 2 years before releasing theirs. i have a dewalt 36 volt kit i use regularly and have had no problems with batteries. the only problem i have had is the drill chuck exploded once. it was repaired free of charge. i have used the kit for about 20 months. the rplacement chuck looked improved. beware, if using holesaws, MAKE SURE you use the solid shank arbors, as the self tightening chuck will crush the hollow shank lenox very soon. so my opinion would be go with the dewalt over milwaukee.

"top of line battery" 2009-09-12
By Mauro Lanzisera
I use this battery to power the Milwaukee job site radio and it does a great job. It has plenty of power and charge lasts a long time. Also, it charges up very fast(45 minutes) and love the built in battery strength lites. All in all, a quality product but not cheap. Nothing good rarely is.

"low battery life with radio" 2009-09-06
By S. Hernandez (Texas)
I purchased this battery to go with my new V28 Milwaukee worksite radio. I was expecting this battery to power my radio (only) for at least 20 hrs before needing to be recharged. WRONG !!!! After 8 hours, the battery is dead. Very disappointed ....

"Milwaukee V28 system" 2008-12-16
By Norm Abrams (Portland, Or)
I have multiple V28 tools. I am very pleased with their performance. As my old battery powered tools give up, I will replace them with Milwaukee. A hard learned lesson, do not take any Li Ion battery down to absolute zero. It harms the cells. Despite my mistake, the battery still charges, it is just quirky and the service center pronounced it dead (yes, it still works). Milwaukee's warranty on their batteries is great. The battery remembers when it was charged the first time, and your warranty counts down from there. Although Milwaukee will prorate after 2 years, it is prorated based on list price, so you are better off buying replacements from Amazon

"M series only!!!!!!!!" 2010-04-02
By Dan Briggs (CA, USA)
these batteries ONLY work with newer M series medium duty tools. DOES NOT FIT previous 18 v NiCad tools. Use the V18 for older tools it is compatible with them and most 18v NiCad tools.

"Fantastic Performance" 2010-03-22
By B. Faulkner
I have a multi-tool M18 kit along with three of these M18 XC batteries. They've been used and abused my me and all my helpers while building a house. The tools have been dropped and kicked around at times, and I've cringed as I've watched tools fall and direct hits taken by the batteries. The little Milwaukee circular saw took a 15' plunge (a new table fixed it) and the battery had a ding indicating it had taken a hit also. I saw the drill/driver take two direct hits. To no avail. They all still lock on properly, they all work properly, they all recharge very quickly.

They've been drained to nothing, or been run for just a little bit then topped off. It seems to make no difference, as they all seem to be running tools just about the same duration after one year of use. The little 1/4" impact driver has seen an insane amount of screws, thousands of 2-1/2" torx, 5,000 1-1/2" washer heads, 250 7" torx lags, 500 5" torx lags, and on and on (that little Milwaukee impact driver is an animal). It really was shocking to see how long these batteries would run these screws before needing a charge/change. Tons of sawzall work, tons of circular saw work, tons of drill/driver work.

Only one trick to keep in mind during cold winters and subzero temperatures... The battery charger will give a blinking LED indication if the battery is too cold to recharge. This happened when we were pushing through temps around zero. We took the batteries into warmth each night when we shut down, topped them all off, so that they were all warm and raring to go in the morning. During the day we just put the battery in the charger (a warm area) and within a few minutes it was up to temperature and quickly recharging.

I really, really, value the Milwaukee M18 cordless line and batteries and recommend them wholeheartedly.

"18V Battery" 2010-01-29
By William Reese (Simi Ca.)
I have no idea why they have discontinued this type of battery. Most of us don't either. Yes it's heavy. But come on... So many of us want not only run-time, but have these great tools that work only with them.(Price keeps going up on the batteries, while the tool price goes down). If the M series (batteries) worked with both formats, we'd all be happy!!! If it's 18 volts, make them compatable. Or you WILL lose many more customers! (They are great tools!)

"Bigger, beefier battery" 2010-01-07
By Alan T. Butler (Secret HQ in the Snoqualmie Valley, WA, USA, Planet Earth)
I bought this battery as an accessory to a twin-pack of Milwaukee tools. It works on both tools, it charges on the supplied charger. It has more capacity. I like it.

"There's a known problem with all of the M18 batteries - i had to return 3 out of 5 so far" 2009-12-12
By Ryan Smith (Phoenix, AZ United States)
3 weeks, still waiting for warranty replacement, evidently Milwaukee is overwhelmed with returns on the M18 batteries. a known issue... good tools, bad batteries... too bad. wish i would have went with Bosch or Ridgid.... too late now.

"LITHIUM BATTERIES" 2010-02-15
By CD LOVER (SCITUATE RI)
AFTER MY BAD EXPERIENCE WITH MILWAUKEE'S NI-CAD BATTIERIES(JUNK,JUNK,JUNK), I SWORE I WOULD NEVER BUT ANOTHER MILWAUKEE PRODUCT. THE 18V DRILL I BOUGHT HAD VERY LITTLE USE AND IT WAS GOING TO BE SOLD AS SOON AS I COULD FIND A BUYER WILLING TO PAY MORE THAN YARD SALE PRICE. THEN I CAME ACROSS THE AD FOR THE LITHIUM BATTERIES AND CHARGER AT A FANTASIC PRICE. IT WAS CHEAPER FOR TWO BATTERIES AND CHARGER THAN THE PRICE OF ONE BATTERY LOCALLY. I'VE BEEN WELL SATISFIED WITH OTHER PURCHASES FROM AMAZON SO I GAVE IT A SHOT.SO FAR THEY HAVE PERFORMED EXTREMELY WELL AND I'M GLAD I KEPT THE DRILL. I STILL WILL NOT BUY ANOYHER MILWAUKEE PRODUCT. THER ARE MANY OTHERS OUT THERE WITH PRODUCTS JUST AS GOOD AND WITH BETTER CUSTOMER SATISFACTION. I TRY TO BUY AMERICAN WHENEVER POSSIBLE , BUT MILWAUKEE SOURED ME WITH MY PURCHASE

"Lithiun-ion technolegy is here to stay" 2009-12-06
By Keith Menges (Castro Valley, CA)
The performance is phenomenally better than the NiCad batteries. They don't slowly run out of charge like the NiCad. Mind you, this is compared to my 4 year old NiCad batteries, which still perform OK.

The charge level gauge is cool. Don't know if I will really use it.

The newer latching system is a welcome change from the older NiCads. My older batteries can be difficult to remove.

The lighter weight alone is worth the purchase. It changes the balance of the tool, but not a problem, more like a bonus.

The price and delivery were as I have come to expect from Amazon, very good.

The Lithium-Ion Batteries Combo Pack is the way to go. This has been a great up grade to very good tool line. The 4+ star reviews are well earned.

"Much improved performance over Ni-Cads" 2009-10-28
By Matthew S. Lichter (Houston, TX)
Having a slew of Milwaukee tools with the Ni-Cad batteries and being constantly frustrated with run times and short battery life, I tried the V18 batteries. What a difference! Much improved run times, quick charging and no decrease in capacity over the time I've had them. Highly recommended for anyone with Milwaukee 18V cordless tools.

"Milwaukee abandoned the customer, sad" 2009-08-05
By mad G.I.
Well I have had my set of 18v tools from milwaukee for over 8 years. The original nicad batteries stink, and everyone, including milwaukee knows it. I am a veteran, disabled, and now living in the philippines. I sent the old batteries home with a friend of mine, because their customer service led me to believe that mine were on a recall list (by the way, this was the 3rd set I had bought from them) I just found out that they are not on the list, so I have no real chance of getting new batteries, that will not break my limited, fixed income budget. I can't do much anymore anyway, but it would have been nice to have those tools around, and functioning, when small projects did come up. But with these new, more powerful, and better quality batteries only going up in price, I just can not afford to buy them, and have them shipped half way around the world. I will be better off just throwing the entire, fully functional kit into a dumpster, and buying locally here in the philippines.

I know it is not their job to take care of every last customer, but they knew all along that the old style batteries were junk, and they never supported them. You can find many reviews that attest to this fact, and now that they have something that can bring your old tools back to life, they are going to make sure you have to pay for them, through the nose. Maybe they are just trying to price them so high, that you will just buy whole new tool sets from them? Well they got one thing right, I will just buy a whole new tool set, but it will most certainly not be with them, I will choose another company to give my pain money too, can you say dewalt?

UPDATE, these now cost about 200 dollars, Miliwaukee stinks, and have certainly lost my business forever! I have contacted them directly, and they just don't care about customer loyalty or satisfaction. This is such a shame, I would love for them to explain away the doubling of the price of a product with a straight face, great tools, PATHETIC COMPANY...............

"Milwaukee @ It's Best" 2009-12-17
By tideman (Texas)
Having been an avid owner of quality Milwaukee tools for many years I've become the local "Expert" when any neighbor in my area intends to invest in any tool for their shop.

As expected, the Milwaukee Mdl. 0880-20 18-volt Cordless Wet/Dry Vacuum does not disappoint in performance or quality.

The portability, light weight,versatility and ruggedness of this tool is outstanding. A continuous run time of 8-10 minutes should suffice for any small, wet/dry quick pick-up job. This is exactly what this tool was designed to accomplish. Anything more and one should be getting the "Shop Vac" anyway.

I'll never cease to be amazed at the consistency of the quality of Milwaukee items. And, they continue to succeed in selling their line of tools at competitive prices.

Buy it. You'll like it.

"Maybe too much impact for 1/4 inch drive" 2010-03-28
By Fred (Bay Area)
Excellent impact driver but I keep breaking 1/4 inch hex bit drivers and bits - must be easy on the trigger. Great for driving Tapcon screws into concrete walls or slabs. Even shear off Tapcons if not careful! Typical Milwaukee - heavy, solid and powerful.

"Top quality and great price" 2010-03-26
By S. Brown (Houston, Texas United States)
Purchased this as a compliment to my other Milwaukee tools running V18 batteries. It ran like a champ out of the box and has an amazing amount of power to drive long wood screws which is what it was primarily purchased for. It is fairly heavy compared to some of the newer models but it is a great tool at a great price.

"The greatest" 2010-01-21
By Mr. Fred (PA)
I have read other reviews that speak of how this driver compares to other brands. I have no experience with any other brand drivers. All I know is this impact driver has amazed me how easy it drives 3" deck screws into pressure-treated 2-by lumber. Before getting this impact driver I was using an 18v cordless drill and-several times-even with a full charge-I was not able to get the screws the whole way in unless I predrilled holes first. No holes are necessary with this driver. It just runs them in as tight as you want with no holes. It was worth every penny it cost.

"good purchase" 2009-12-24
By rooster (wilmington nc)
great deal on this impact drill, since i already have the whole v18 kit. The impact drill is much more efficient drilling holes in wood to run wires through. I get much longer life from the battery, also the drill bit does not have to be as sharp as compared to drilling with the regular drill. It does not turn as fast when in impact mode, but nothing will stop it!

"my lack of information about the tool." 2009-12-09
By John D. Hurst
there is no mention of the battery [ number of battery and the charger for the battery. I called Milwaukee to get those numbers and was given the wrong numbers but I didn't realize this until I had ordered them from Amazon[at a very nice savings thank you]. So i returned the two items to a very nice company [Hardware Sales] and hopefully ordered to proper battery and charger from you guys. You guys are great to deal with and I only wish the government operated as effectively as you guys. So the tool will probably be great once I get the right battery for it. Thanks

"Perfect pocket drill" 2010-02-17
By Thor Albro (Seattle, WA United States)
After delighting in my decision to buy a big Milwaukee hammer drill recently, I decided to buy one of these for my wife to use with her property management company - it is light and small enough to literaly fit in her purse. Of course, I have used it exclusively since!

I just got back from a job screwing dozens of 2 1/2" #12 screws through mutliple boards. This little thing handled the job without a hick-up. The power enclosed in the tiny, egg-sized batteries is phenomenal. And, as with the bigger tool, the spacious case is a delight for holding all sorts of extra stuff. Bravo to Milwaukee for all the little touches that make these drills a joy to use.

"excellent compact drill/driver" 2010-02-01
By slw (fremont, mi)
I own 3/8 and 1/2 inch dewalt drills which are corded, and use them for heavy duty projects on a regular basis. There is no substitute for plugging into a wall outlet when it comes to power, and they will last forever, but I needed a light, compact, cordless drill for small jobs and for portability. This drill fits the job description perfectly. It works so well, my corded drills may not see much use anymore, as it performs 90% of the tasks my "powerhouse" drills can do. It has its limitations, in terms of power and charge capacity, but really, most non-professional users will not begin to tax the limits of this drill. It's really a great tool, and shows how far cordless tools have come. I have no complaints and no suggestions for improvements. Great drill!

This is one of the best cordless drills I have owned. This drill replaces my dewalt 18v ,which was getting to heavy and awkward for small jobs. This drill will be able to do both small and large jobs with the power it has. It is solidly built and made to last. The light on the drill comes in handy when working in cabinets or closets. I like the battery meter on the side of the drill to keep track of usage. I would recomend this drill for anyone looking for a powerful but lightweight cordless drill.

"best 18v compact cordless even with its 2-speed gearbox" 2010-02-13
By Michael Winters
We use a lot of drills and periodically switch to new models when we believe (and validate through our testing) that a new model may provide better performance on the job site. We used to go through a lot of NiCad battery packs during the year and would regularly send off the Milwaukee's in particular off to get rebuilt by a company that specializes in battery rebuilds. With the switch to lithium-ion we first bought Makita drills because they were the first to start offering them.

With the Makita drills we found that parts were often left out of kits and had to be special ordered like bit holders and belt clips, the case designs were sturdy even if a bit crude, the clutches were average (neither great nor bad) and the drills themselves were very light even though a bit underpowered compared to the 18 volt NiCad battery powered Milwaukee drills we had been using.

We have supplied our guys with both the Milwaukee 2601 drills and the Milwaukee 2611 hammer drills. Overall the 2601 is great for what we need it to do - i.e. light to medium duty jobs where we like its light weight and excellent design. Milwaukee has without a doubt the best drill chuck for general use and the smoothest clutch action. The half size lithium-ion batteries charge in more time than the Makita but we have been replacing them with the full size batteries which take about the same amount of time to charge.

The RPM ranges are better than most and the high speed range works well even when drilling through steel which in the past was when we would get out a cord drill. For high torque applications the lack of a side handle makes the drill difficult to control as is the case with all such drills. The new Milwaukee drills with side handles are designed to have to be attached at a 90 degree angle (same new feature or defect is found with the new Ridgid drills) which is a lot less useful than the ones that can be set at any angle as on the DeWalt, Makita, and Bosch drills we have used.

The charger has lights that indicate the charge state of the battery and is a little confusing at first. Why every manufacturer has their own thoughts about how to indicate a battery is charging or fully charged is beyond me. Some have a red light that flashes to indicate the battery is charging, others to indicate it has fully charged, and others to indicate that the battery has a defect. A nice feature on the Milwaukee charger is a plug end that accepts another plug so you can have the charger plugged into an extension cord or outlet and still plug in something else at the same time. There is also room in the case to have the power cord for the charger sitting underneath it in the case.

Being able to tell the approximate charge level of the battery by pressing a raised area on the battery is handy and likely to help prolong the battery life if you don't keep recharging batteries that do not really need a recharge. I have read different manufacturer's recommendations with regard to recharging their batteries but the consensus seems to be that it is best to bring the battery to full charge before storing it away until the next use.

When I bought our first drill with an LED light it seemed like a trivial feature. Now I would be hard pressed to buy a drill without one. So much nicer to be in a crawlspace or in an attic or just working at dusk and be able to see what you are doing without having to use a headlight or have a flashlight in your mouth. The Milwaukee 2601 LED has a very broad which is an additional refinement that you may never notice or find very useful, but it is there if you need it and further evidence of the thought Milwaukee's product engineers put into the drill.

These are some of the details that manufacturers continue to leave out of the manuals and don't even bother to provide on their websites as downloadable PDF files. Instead we get the very spartan bits of information in 3 or 4 languages. I have yet to find recommended RPM ranges that are truly useful from any of the drill companies. They all recommend high speed for drilling small holes and low speed for large holes as though that really covers it. Even the clutch setting are a trial and error process which seems unnecessary. Does a setting of 10 provide twice the slippage of a 20 setting - who knows and is willing to tell.

The kit case is the best thought out design of any on the market and far better than the ones from Makita and DeWalt and Hitachi. Why you can spend $200-400 on a kit and get a lousy case is another peeve of mine. With the Milwaukee case design everything has an obvious home and even if the case bounces around in the back of the truck everything inside is protected. There is even a fair amount of room for spare bits or a countersink set.

I liked that the drill came with a good belt clip and bit holder. First time I have bought a kit where everything that showed on the side of the packaging was actually included with the kit. Usually the clips and belt holders are left off and I have to decide whether it is worth spending another $30 to special order the parts from Makita or Milwaukee. It is also a good belt clip and not like the one that Hitachi design that I never used.

Drill power is good for a drill of this size and weight and so long as you use modern bits and hole cutters with it you will be happy with its performance. I have used the drill to quickly cut 6-1/4" holes in Advantech and plywood subflooring and although it is not the best drill for this particular job it shows what can be done with the right hole cutter (in this case a Blue Boar TCT though even the Big Hawgs make a big difference in performance).

BLUE BOAR 6-1/4" (159mm) Self-Feed TCT 2-1/4" deep multipurpose Tungsten Carbide hole cutter outperforms self-feed bits & bi-metal hole saws. Cut wood, MDF, OSB, laminates, Hardie & chipboard, plaster, drywall, brick, Formica

I have used this drill to make 4" holes through stucco and OSB sheathing in less than a minute using a special TCT Stucco bit which again shows that the proper hole cutter is important for good performance with cordless drills. Lots of people I know show up at a job site with a half dozen spare batteries when all they really need to do ins invest in some modern hole cutters and high performance drills. Toss your bi-metal holes saws or relegate them for use only on steel panel and you will be a lot happier with the performance of whatever cordless drill you have now or end up buying in the future. Had we realized the performance difference we would have stayed with our NiCad drills a lot longer.

With Lithium-ion drills there is a safety circuit that is designed to cut power to the drill motor and LED in high draw situations to keep the battery from overheating. The downside is that drill times can easily double especially when the wrong torque range or speed setting is used or you start cutting too fast and forcing the bit or hole cutter into the work piece. Good technique that is adjusted for the particular drill is important with brute force providing poor results that are more the fault of the worker than the drill.

Just be aware that the drill manufacturers have not agreed on a standard testing procedure much less one that would accurately reflect real world use of their cordless drills. It is even more of a joke with the lithium-ion drills where the ratings don't reflect the real power output that can be obtained before the overload protection cuts power to the drill motor. With the Hitachi and Makita drills the drilling time is often double that of other powers in their class and I have little doubt that the problem is due to their overly conservative lithium-ion overload settings.

So far the chucks on our drills have been holding up very well and runout does not seem to be a problem. With the older Milwaukees drill runout was above average and not in the same class as the Bosch drills. Time will tell if the Milwaukee chucks hold up better but if you want the ultimate in smoothness for precision drilling the Bosch drills are worth considering even with their 2-speed gear box limitation (shared by the Milwaukee drills.

The biggest limitations of this drill are the lack of a 3rd speed range and the lack of a side handle, both of which together limit the kinds of jobs you can take on with this drill. But for light to medium tasks the light weight and refinement of the Milwaukee 2601 drills makes them the ones I tend to reach for first. The lightweight Makita drills are very good but the new Milwaukee 2601 drills are just plain better in every way.

With corded drills one had the 3/8" light to medium duty drills and the 1/2" reduced speed high torque wrist breakers to choose from. Now with lithium-ion cordless drills you can often do jobs that in the past meant hauling out the 1/2" stud drill and a 100 foot extension cord so long as you match the drill and the cutters and bits to the job. And don't expect one drill to be both super powerful and lightweight and compact. No free lunch as they say and there are always trade offs with any choice.

For light to medium duty tasks the Milwaukee is better than any other driver drill we have owned, and that includes 18 volt lithium-ion powered ones from Makita, DeWalt, Hitachi, Bosch, and Ridgid. For heavy duty tasks we always reach for the somewhat less sophisticated but amazingly powerful DeWalt DCD970 with its 3-speed gear box and the fastest charging lithium-ion batteries available today.

The good news is that even the worst lithium-ion powered drills are better than their NiCad predecessors in holding a charge for months at a time and providing excellent run times so long as they are not overloaded. The new lithium-ion batteries are likely to last through at least 4 times as many recharge cycles and last years longer than the NiCad battery packs and without the memory problems that often disabled NiCads, and in particular those from Milwaukee. Just save some dollars for new hole cutters and modern drill bits (like the Blue Boar TCT high performance hole cutters, Milwaukee's Big Hawg cutters, and new Bosch Rapid Feed spade bits).

BLUE BOAR TUH14-14 Piece Super Duty Universal Tungsten Carbide TCT Hole Saw kit with 2-1/4" cutting depth cuts more materials than other hole saws. Hard RA90-91 carbide teeth cut faster & last longer, ultra deep side gullets for faster plug removal

BOSCH 3/4" Bosch RapidFeed Spade Bit Part No. SB1009

Hard to appreciate but I have cut 2" holes in 7/8" MDF with a brand new Lenox bi-metal carbide tipped hole saw and it took more than 40 seconds to cut the hole, another couple minutes to knock out the piece of MDF, and 30 plus minutes to get the Milwaukee battery back to a full charge level. With a Blue Boar TCT hole cutter the same size I made multiple holes in the same piece of MDF and each hole took 4 seconds, the cut pieces of MDF just fell out onto the ground so I could start cutting the next hole and I ran out of MDF long before the battery ran out of power. I saw some great video clips on the Hole Pro website showing similar results but I like to do my own testing even if the outcome is the same.

"THE BEST I HAVE OWNED!" 2010-02-06
By howie (el segundo ca)
I do not have good luck with things that recharge, but this is the best ever!, the batteries charge very quick and last a long time, very smooth, i got hooked on the 18volt milwaukee, and now have alot!! you will be happy!!

"Not recommended for professionals" 2009-12-18
By M. Palka
Let me start off by saying that this would be a very good drill if the batteries weren't so terrible. I received this drill from my boss as a replacement after my 18 volt 1.5A lithium-ion Makita drill (which I owned for approximately 1.5 years) got stolen at a job site. In this review I will be comparing the two drills. I am a carpenter and I use my drills everyday to install kitchen cabinets and various other projects. This drill is a little heavier and shorter than the Makita. The storage case for this drill is very nice and sturdy. The Makita case feels a little flimsy but it hasn't fallen apart on me during the 1.5 years that I owned the drill. One nice feature about the Milwaukee drill is that it comes with a belt hook and bit storage holder. With the Makita you have to buy those separately on ebay or from Makita parts center. This is a minor thing but it's worth mentioning. I liked how on the Makita drill the light stays on for about 6 seconds after releasing the trigger. On the Milwaukee the light goes off as soon as you let go of the trigger. Now onto the most important part, battery life. The batteries on this drill aren't even in the same league as the Makita batteries. The Makita batteries last about twice as long and provide much more power and torque to the drill. The Makita drill comes with a 15 minute charger while this Milwaukee drill comes with a 30 minute charger. In my opinion the Makita 18 volt drill is hands down the best drill in it's class on the market. I also highly recommend the new Bosch 18v lithium ion drill. My co-worker owns one and I had a chance to use it a few times and was very impressed, but I still prefer Makita by a slight margin. The Makita drill is a little more expensive but you get what you pay for. If you are a homeowner that has a few small projects every now and then, then the Milwaukee drill might be ok for you but for someone that uses their drill everyday I would consider spending the extra money for the Makita drill. I know I will.

"How many more can we buy" 2009-12-06
By Jack L. Place (Greeneville, TN United States)
This is great drill made for a company with a great history of quality made American products, but it is not American made. I bought one without thought of where it was made because like most of us assumed a Milwaukee would be American made. As above, it's a great drill, but how many more years will we be able to buy these, if there is no longer any American industry. I'm as guilty as anybody, but we are going to have to start insisting on American made consumer choices if we are to reconstruct our economy. We have nearly completely exported or economy and our tax base. When the government wants more taxes where will we get the money since corporations have moved both their manufacturing and bookkeeping offshore?

"really nice drill" 2009-11-21
By J. Walk
Bought this one after some research and price comparisons. Have used the drill for one big project so far, worked great. Has plenty of power, I like the variable clutch, high and low speed ranges plus variable speed, the clutch is super easy to add or remove bits, the batteries charge in about twenty minutes and the charger has a built-in light display to show charge status as you recharge. Also pretty light weight for the power it puts out. Only negative would be it's a little loud if you're holding right at ear-level, but not enough to make me stop working or put on earplugs.

Great sound from radio and when I connect my Ipod to it. 14.4 volt battery pack from my drill lasted a couple weeks before needing charge (I'd say 8 hours total play nice and loud during those couple weeks). Can't beat the price here especially with free shipping. Beat the home improvement places prices for sure!

"Big Radio for a Small Price" 2009-08-05
By T. Massey
This radio has definitely served me well. It is well constructed to take the abuse of a job site right down to the rubber antenna. Anyone who has ever taken their radio on a job site knows that the antenna is the first thing to break which usually leaves it completely unusable until someone brings a wire clothes hanger to substitute as an antenna.

The only downside to this radio is that it doesn't have a built in cd player. But that can easily be fixed by using a portable cd player with the aux jack on the side of the radio. You can then store the cd player and cd's in the handy sack attached to the back of the radio.

It has a power cord when power is available and it also uses batteries from your Milwaukee tool set which lasts for a surprisingly long while.

I think I've bought most of Milwaukee's discontinued old-style 18V tools thanks to the closeout prices, and I'm sure liking this one. This is a very beautifully made tool (Made in Germany) which is extremely effective at doing the job. My corded hammer drill is going to get a lot less use now. This tool is well balanced, comfortable and easy to keep a grip on.

"Incredible!" 2009-09-06
By Stephen Cunningham (Northern Michigan)
This is one incredible tool. Mine came with a adjustable stop rod that is not shown in the picture. It is built into the side handle and requires no tools to adjust its length, just press on the spring loaded release and adjust the rod to the desired position or remove it if it is in the way. I use this tool to replace a much heavier corded model for doing overhead work. I am installing new drywall in a very old house that had plaster over plaster board wall construction. I have removed the plaster and plaster board on the exterior walls to facilitate the installation of insulation and modern wiring. The underlying structure wasn't exactly designed for drywall. For instance the top plates were not aligned. The top 2x4 plate protruded into the room ½ to ¾ of an inch in some areas making it impossible to install the drywall with a square corner. I used a sharpened flat chisel blade and the hammer mode to quickly cut off the excess material using the lower top plate as a guide. Other than a flush cutting circular saw I can't think of a tool that would have done this job any better, and it is probably safer than using a flush cutting circular saw overhead.

I love this tool. It is strong and compact. It uses my old ni-cad 18 volt batteries as well as my new V-18 Lithium batteries. I bought mine from Tool King at a compettive price and it arrived in the original Milwaukee "bare tool" box along with the product registration paperwork.

One vendor shipped the last tool Milwaukee tool I bought from them in a plain brown box, no Milwaukee packaging and didn't include the operational part of the tool (the metal cutting blade) even though the product description stated it was included, and when I asked them to send it they just said no, ship it back at my expense if I wasn't happy and pay the restocking fee. The entire process set my building project back several weeks. You can read my review of the Milwaukee metal cutting circular saws to get the full story (and be sure to look at the pictures), Amazon did compensate me some of my cost of returning the item but not all of it. Perhaps your results may be better but it has been my experience that some of these vendors are just a little better than others. It cost me a couple of bucks to figure out that the lowest priced vendor isn't always the best choice. I have purchased a lot of tools from many vendors and have always had exceptional service except for my one bad experience. I will pay a couple of dollars more for the product and a couple of dollars less for the shipping and buy from a Vendor like Tool King to get the genuine original Milwaukee packaging and first rate customer service. When I purchased my Milwaukee SDS cordless drill from Took King the total cost of the product and shipping was less than $5 more than the lowest priced vendor.

I have uploaded a picture showing the adjustable stop rod that came with my drill.

"Quick Release Chuck for Milwaukee quarter drive impact" 2009-10-26
By Keivn L. Rasmussen
Not as steady or true as a regular drill but in a pinch it's nice to not have to carry the drill with you as well.

"Gets the job done, but nothing special" 2009-10-09
By Eric S. Olstad (New Jersey, USA)
This is a nice little attachment to have to save yourself from having to go out and buy drill bits that have a hex end. Just pop this bad boy in there and you'll be able to use *most* of your drill bits. The problem is that it's only 1/4". The larger drill bits simply won't fit. 1/2" would have done the trick, but there doesn't seem to be a 1/2" chuck attachment anywhere.

It certainly gets the job done though. It locks up nice and tight using the chuck key. You never have to worry about it loosening up on you in the middle of work as some of the keyless chucks are prone to.

But now the problem comes down to where do you put your chuck key? Most of the drills that have the quick swap "chuck" are small and don't have any room for magnets or whatever you would need to hold the chuck key for you. So, that's definitely an issue. But I guess the saving grace for that is that it's a common chuck key and you could find a replacement easily. If not, it's still somewhat possible to use your hand (provided you have a glove or some really thick callouses).

this milwaukee 4811-2401 12v rechargable lithium-ion battery was used and refurbished like new. i am thrilled with it. i paid about an eighth of the cost of a new one, and it proforms better than the other new one i bought with my second drill-driver. What Ever You Do Don't Buy Any Of These Tools Without Batteries. The bateries cost more than the drill/drivers. By the time you buy a drill/driver, charger, and a battery you'll have close to four hundred dollars invested in what i think should be a fifty dollar tool.

These batteries are pretty good for run time in a warmer envirnment. Find that when they are used in the cold they wear down fast. I have 11 of these batteries because I have 5 of the tools. Sorry to say the quality is not that great. Two of them are already dead ( less than one year ). I have several DeWalt lithium batteries that are over two years old and still going strong!!

"Superior battery" 2010-02-15
By Joseph Bobst (Central Illinois)
Purchased as an upgrade for the NiCd powered drill. No downside to this change at all, in fact, the trusty Milwaukee 18V drill seems to run a trifle faster and keeps working for days on end before recharge is needed. This will replace multiple NiCd's that were rebuilt a time or two and are getting old and tired. The recharge could be fast enough in practical use so that an extra may not be needed or a while.

"cold weather performance my ass" 2009-12-21
By Bruce E. Ward (montgomery, alabama)
I for one can tell you these batteries WILL NOT LAST in cold weather. We set out on jobs in cold weather, and by cold I mean 30degrees, these batteries died in 1/8 the normal time they do. This cold weather statement is a flat out lie. now in warmenr temps you cannot beat them, they run all day. We've been using milwaukee tools for 3 years now and they ROCK, but please PLEASE don't belive the cold weather hype

"Powerful & Long Lasting, But Make Sure This is the One You Need" 2009-12-17
By John T. Horner (Morgan Hill, CA USA)
Earlier this year Milwaukee completely revamped their 18V Lithium-Ion tool lineup and changed how the battery packs fit. This is the older style which is also compatible with older Milwaukee 18V tools that originally came with Ni-Cad batteries. I have had two of these packs for about a year now and they are both still working very well. Keep your eyes open, because there are some amazing clearance deals around on the old generation Milwaukee 18V tools. Over the past year I've gotten the circular saw, hammer drill, vacuum, Sawzall and a flashlight all at less than 25% of the original street prices.

"works great" 2009-12-17
By J. Hayes (West Texas)
Bought the V18 with a quick charger. It was fully charged in 45 minutes. That was a week ago and I'm still using it about 1 hour daily in my Milwaukee worksite radio. It still has a strong charge. So far, I'm very pleased with this purchase.

"Milwaukee Lithium Ion Battery" 2009-12-16
By Bldaz (Scottsdale, AZ USA)
I have no issues with this battery. I bought a new cordless sawzall, and charger with this battery and everybody is working fine. This battery works with my old Cordless 18v drill(slide on). I needed a new battery and charger so i bought these after reading which will work with my older cordless. Some wont so buy the right unit. They also will turn off not just slow down when out of a charge, but they work about as long as the older batteries. Time will tell if they hold up over the years. Good Buy

"Improved battery charger" 2010-02-15
By Joseph Bobst (Central Illinois)

"Good Everyday Tool" 2010-01-10
By M. Deal
I have used this tool several times a week since purchasing in mid 2008. The real test was installing over 100 ft of fencing which the gun handled just fine. Otherwise, I use the Milwaukee for primarily light duty work.

Pros:

-Easy to hold ... fits in your hand nicely with little to no fatique over long term usage.

-Powerful for a small 12V unit.

-Light comes in handy in reduced light work.

-Batteries hold their charge with repetitive driving of screws. Drilling will discharge any battery at a much faster rate ... this gun is no exception.

-Easy to change out bits

Cons:

-No place to store a second on-board bit. Only a problem if you have to switch between phillips and slot screws.

-The trigger just recently started giving me periodic problems ... gun quits working.

-Does not have the muscle to drive long screws (such as cabinet screws) at an acceptable rate or depth. but then, that's not the intention of this tool.

Aside from the current trigger problem I have been VERY happy with the Milwaukee.

"Worth every penny" 2009-12-17
By C. Pouliot (Lebanon, Me United States)
I bought this driver for my self last month after using one at work for the past year and a half. I drove 3" screws into 2X8 PT last year with this driver albeit not too many of them (was just testing it). My boss has also bought one for personal use. My hand/arm would get tired from using the 18-28 volt drills we had and this 12 volt easily stepped in when needed and was great for tight areas too. Highly recommended.

P.S. Bought for $99 from Amazon when my office was paying $129 through a Milwaukee rep. Can't beat Amazon's price + free shipping.

"Great driver." 2009-12-15
By Po (New York, NY)
Great driver for many household jobs. I've owned this driver for about a year and I seldom have to use anything stronger.

"Best Little Driver Ever" 2009-12-02
By D. Larson (Chandler, AZ)
I used this driver for the first time on several jobs and was very impressed. It drove screws requiring high torque. The battery held up well. Loading/removing bits was very easy. Light works well. It's light, fits in the hand comfortably and gets into tight spots. I would highly recommend it. Price at Amazon was below other websites and stores.

"Great tool" 2009-12-02
By JakeThePimp (WI)
A great milwaukee tool. I finally wore out my old 14.4v milwaukee and I was going to upgrade to some of the new full size lithium units until I was able to use a m12 driver that my friend had. This little driver is great, did everything I wanted.

So, the fact that it drives screws is not that all impressive, my 14.4v did that just fine. The great thing about this and why I gave it five stars is the weight. Most of the time it isn't an issue but I was remodeling my basement and doing a lot of overhead work, that is where this tool shines.

"Great tools, horrible batteries" 2010-01-11
By smcstl
I bought this combo kit from Amazon about a year ago. The tools themselves work well for what they are designed for...light chore duty around the house. I would imagine they could take on bigger jobs if pressed as well. However, BOTH batteries from this kit have stopped taking a charge. They stopped working after less than 15 uses. I bought and returned this exact same kit previously because of the same exact thing. Milwaukee needs to address this battery issue. I gave the kit one star because the tools are only as good as the batteries. Now I am forced to buy 2 new batteries. Screw you Milwaukee.

"Best Torque" 2009-05-10
By Isletek (Big Island, Hawaii)
I purchased this Milwaukee 12 volt combo drill/impact set after checking out other brands of the same style, including Snapon.

Milwaukee beat them all on torque, including the much touted Makita. The rpm is very fast for the impact, as is the drill, although a bit slower.

After owning these for over two months now, I can say that they are also very good on battery life and this is being used in a professional automotive shop daily.

Milwaukee has a winner here!.

Plenty of power for a 12 volt. Once you go litium batteries you won't go back. Wished it came in a moulded case instead bag,but bag does let you add bits,drills,etc.Very pleased so far.

"These small tools give work great" 2009-03-20
By Scott Humphrey (Portland, OR)
Great product. I don't know how I lived with out the impact before. I used it side by side with my Makita 18v driver. It was slower and battery ran out of juice quicker, but it worked well driving in 3" lags as well as setting up kitchen cabinets. Wished the led lights had a time delay after using letting go of the trigger like makita's do. The impact will definitely be the most used tool in this kit. The light's magnet didn't have as solid of a grip as I'd like.

"A lightweight alternative to higher voltage cordless tools." 2009-12-02
By Hank Wegener (B'ham, AL)
I would not trade in my old 18 volt Milwaukee cordless tools, but there are many times I need to get in a tight space or just don't need the extra power (with the extra weight that goes along with it). This set is great for that. The lithium ion batteries are great in that they have the gauge, but when they quit that is it. With the old NiCads you could get that last screw in maybe w/o having to grab another battery.

"large selection but akward chuck design and big case" 2010-01-07
By Peter Mitchell
This is a well built kit in a nice storage case with a strong latch. It is a very complete set of 1/4" drills and drivers but is actually missing key items. Quite a few drill sizes that one would want to use for hard and soft woods for #4, #6, #8, #10, and #12 screws are not included in this large set. There are also double ended screw driver pieces that cannot be used in a screw holder which limits their value.

The quick release chuck is interesting in that in order to release a drill bit the outer collar has to be pulled in the same direction as the drill insert which means you need to use both hands to get the bit out and this is hardly a quick process. It is the opposite of most quick change arbors and not as easy to use.

The case is larger than is practical for carrying around in a pouch on a tool belt or even putting into a tool box. It seems to be intended for a shelf or drawer in a house or garage and pulled out for special projects. For anyone wanting a kit with pilot bits and screw driver bits for use with wood screws the RocklerRockler Deluxe Insty-Drive 9-pc. Tapered Drill Bit/Countersink Set Insty Drive sets provide better pilot drills with countersinks and the cases are small enough to easily fit in a pouch or pocket. The Insty Driver sleeve is also a great design that speeds up the task of drilling counter sunk holes and then quickly driving the screws.

Rockler 5-Pc. #8 Countersink Set

These 1/4" drive are great for use with standard drills and work well with the new compact 12 volt cordless drivers for many jobs. Larger 18v cordless drills are larger and harder to fit into tight spaces but provide more clutch settings which makes it easier to avoid over-driving a screw and stripping out the hole.

By Athelas (Denver, CO)
I hadn't really tried to use this set of drills and drivers, but I found that one of the drill bits (1/4 inch) would not fit into the Milwaukee Compact Driver. I called Milwaukee Customer Service to ask for a replacement part, and was told that it was under a 30 day warranty and I needed to send it back to the vendor (Amazon).

I complained that it seemed unreasonable to send the whole set back because of one part, but they said that was my only option to get the part replaced.

The power tool is excellent but I will be getting driver bits and drill bits from other sources.

"Excellent" 2010-01-14

By Frank Breech (Freehold, New Jersey, USA)

I have owned this set, driller, driver and flashlight for two years. I have owned several cordless drills in the past, but this one is by far the best. First, the battery maintains its charge better than any other I have encountered. The tool doesn't weaken until the battery is virtually fully discharged. The battery charges rapidly; less than 30 minutes. Second, the tools are extremely well balanced, better than any drill or driver I have used. Third, they are very powerful, always able to drill or driver whatever I throw at them. In the 2+ years they have been durable. Fourth, they are smooth running and ergonomically designed. Nice touches like the LED light on the drill make drill in tight, poorly lighted places easier. The keyless chuck on the drill grips very well and doesn't loosen. The flash light is a worth while addition. It lasts long, lights very well and with an adjustable angle makes working under sinks and in other dark places easier. After two years of ownership, I enthusiastically recommend these tools.

"Enough power plus rapid recharge is a winner: lets do CHRISTMAS" 2009-12-14

By Russell A. Rohde MD (West Covina, California USA)

After 10 + years of trusted service from my 1ST MAKITA cordless Nickel-Cadmium rechargeable ML902 flashlight and 2 drills, the batteries became "tired", recharged poorly and had little power. I fortunately blessed myself with the 3 piece MAKITA 18-Volt,. Lithium-Ion Combo kit - Wow! Now, a full recharge time is 30 minutes, the power is superb - and by using the Impact Driver even the largest of wood screws is effortless, but I still soap them per my Father, Ralph). Though the handle design differs, it is now even better by being standing upright; and the belt clip is clever. The only change I'd make is to have the chuck accept a key to tighten larger drills bits. The price for the new 3 piece Combo Kit was almost unbelievable - and shipping within the week allowed Jennifer and I to install the High Tech Power Pet electronic cat door for the 4 cats (Tiger, Sebastian, Creamer, & Missy) the next day to keep out raccoons (Procyon lotor). This will be my favored Christmas present. Thomas Edison would be proud of Makita Cordless.

"Batteries are scrap" 2009-12-04

By JT

I am sending back today. I like the drill but the batteries last half as long as my 12 volt milwaukee drill with the same amp hour rating. I called Makita customer service and they were not interested in helping me. They told me to send it back or try and find a local authorized service center.

"Really great tools at a very affordable price." 2009-11-28

By cvl (Bay Area, CA United States)

Couple important points:

#1 - The drill and the driver both now come with the belt clips found on the more expensive line, that was a nice surprise.

#2 - The light does not have the ability to mount a belt clip to it. This is by no means a deal breaker but would be a very handy option for a few situations.

Not much else to add to all the other glowing reviews. I borrowed the impact driver on a job, fell in love and decided to get the set.

"Impressive , but..." 2009-11-23

By Pal Val

I have used cordless drills/ drivers since day one and this latest generation Makita is great in a lot of ways.The best part is the comfort factor...it is well designed and lightweight. The hammer driver works amazingly well for the size. I just finished putting 100 3-3/4'' Tapcons in cement, and though I used my electric hammer drill to drill the holes, ( this Makita is not a hammer drill ) I used the little cordless Makita hammer driver to drive the tapcons in. It worked just fine.

Downside is that the battery time is relatively short and the battery really needs to be kept well charged to work - meaning as soon as you start to lose power, you need to swap the battery. Though the recharge is quick, it is inconvenient swapping batteries every 20- 30 minutes if you are giving it constant or prolonged use.

For me, the positives...comfort, hammer driver and good power capability outweigh the so- so battery life. I have heard there is a battery available with longer life and I will definitely be looking into that.

UPDATED edit by me...This kit comes with two 18V 1.8AH batteries. Like I said they work great but wear down quick if under constant use. If you need better run time the search terms for the EXTRA 3.0 AH batteries you need to buy is below ...at the time I am editing this they are $130 a pair, so bear that in mind. They are also a bit larger, thus heavier. If you need the extra power I'd see if this kit is offered with the 3.0 batteries at the outset.
