As long as you can hold on to it, this drill has enough torque to drill through almost anything...and if it can't, you should be using a hammer drill. Or dynamite. If you're drilling wimpy little holes in wood, this isn't the drill to use. At 850 rpm, it runs too slow. But if you have to drill 1/2" holes in railroad ties, swing a 3" hole saw, punch a hole through a steel plate, or drill a hole in a concrete block, this'll do the job.
The 0302-20 has been pretty well covered by other reviewers, but to fill in a couple of things that haven't mentioned...
- Power cords are available in both 8' and 25' lengths. The drill comes with the standard 8' version, but I find myself usually using the 25' one. Milwaukee 48-76-4025 Quik-Lok 25-Foot 3 Wire Grounded Cord
- If pushed back all the way, the side handle fits over some bumps molded onto the nosepiece. This effectively locks it in place. The bumps allow the side handle to be seated at 30 degree angles (30, 60, 90,120, 150, 180...) relative to the trigger. If it's not pushed all the way back, you can tighten it down at any angle. Unlike my DeWalt 115-DW236K: 1/2 Inch Heavy-Duty VSR, the chuck is smaller than the nosepiece (by 0.04", but that's enough...) so you can't easily clamp the chunk to the drill body by tightening down the handle when it's too far forward. (...although who would do anything that dumb?)
In any case, I highly recommend this drill. Although I wish Milwaukee had included a case, and not sold it separately (Milwaukee 48-55-0711 General Purpose Carrying Case for Pistol Grip Tools), it still warrants a solid five stars.

This is a great tool for the money. Bought for cabinet shop. Had to drill 60 4 1/8" holes in 3/4" melamine. Flawless performance. Huge power. Slick handle and cord operation. Keyless chuck is worth the money. It works perfectly and saves the multiple trips around the shop looking for that dang chuck key. Plus it is fast change out. Bought reconditioned and like the fact that every reconditioned tool gets the once over. Can tell it was lightly used but no biggie. It is the best corded 1/2" drill for the money. If it holds up as well as my other Milwaukee drills (and I have no reason to believe it wont), it will live a long hard life.

I bought this drill to use with a 2.75" x 26" Bulb/Plant Auger and a 4.75" x 26" Planting Auger, both of which I purchased from Gempler's. The keyless chuck makes it easy to exchange these augers and holds them in securely. This is a powerful drill which makes using these augers a snap for drilling holes in the ground. But you do have to hold on securely. If you hit a rock or tree root, the drill will catch and spin your wrist around if you are not careful. I also bought two 50 foot, 12-gauge three-wire, grounded extension cords for work farther out in my backyard, and the drill works fine. I'm buying a lot more plants for my rock garden and butterfly garden because planting is so much easier now. Great Product!

Best 1/2 inch chuck. Very easy to use yet grips with tremendous force and releases easily. Best variable speed circuitry and trigger. Very smooth continuous speed control over entire range. Best power for its size (8 Amps!) I have used many other corded drills. This is the best by far.

I have had this model for over a year now and am ordering another for a gift to my electrician friend. I was amused by some of the reviews - Joe's in particular. This is a great drill. I used (abused) the predecessor with keyed chuck for over 20 years before replacing it with this model last year. Joe - the cord is wonderful the way it is. It disconnects for easier replacement. Over the 20+ years I replaced the cord on the last one twice. The handle (sissy bar) sticks out that far for added leverage. Put a 4" hole saw on this baby and it has enough torque to break your arm. Since I am a contractor I use a hole hawg for mixing drywall mud and heavy stuff. I use my three cordlesses for most light drilling and srewdriving. I use a SDS hammerdrill for concrete. However - I have used these magnums for all of the above when it was more expedient or the more proper tool was not close by. This thing can do it all, do it well and do it quickly. It's relatively small size might be misleading. I recommend the proper drill for your job at hand as mentioned above but I cannot imagine a better all-round tool for a homeowner who does not have all the drills I do. Joe - don't badmouth a great tool because you do not know how to use it's design features.
