The Milwaukee close quarter is the best power tool I've bought in a long time. Gets the job done with power and with ease. I do agree with the guy who is getting rid of his on one score: The large trigger, which is part of what makes the tool so easy to use, can be a hazard if you're not paying attention. It is indeed very easy to activate accidentally, and especially when changing (ouch) bits. It just takes some getting used to. It's like a fine sports car--a perfect performer once you get used to its quirks!

I had to replace the predecessor of this drill as the brass pinion gear finally stripped the last time I abused it.



The new drill has improved forward/reverse positioning and controls versus the previous model. It is a bit larger which is a bit of a negative.



I was in the middle of a wiring project when the drill gave out. Since this is a specialized tool I wasn't successful finding it at home stores. I did Buy a $250 Makita close quarters drill. I took it back. It overheated, didn't have the torque required to drill through 3 2x4's with a 3/4" auger drill and other issues.



I would strongly recommend this drill for close quarters use. I would caution users that, as with any specialty tool, this is not an all purpose drill. The sensitivity and placement of the trigger makes driving screws or other speed sensitive work difficult if not perilous.

I use this product in my lathe work. The pistol grip gives me good control. The shape allows me access into my bowls for sanding. I highly recommend it.

Good tool. Kinda clumsy if you have small hands but preforms the job well.

 "Be very careful with this drill" 2009-08-17
By A Pokemon Father (Cincinnati)
As another reviewer noted, this drill can be very dangerous. I was changing bits the other day and while I was tightening the bit using the chuck key, the hand holding the body accidentally pressed the trigger trapping two fingers between the body and the chuck key. I could not remove my fingers. I finally had to pull the plug which released the pressure. I almost lost the tip of my finger in this accident. I will be returning this drill to Amazon today and getting the Bosch or other model with a safety trigger. I realize the instructions call for unplugging the tool while changing the bits, but honestly how many people do that with their drill?



I will say this drill has tons of power as evidenced by my chewed up fingers.

 "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.

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.

 "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!

 "Great drill for the size!" 2009-12-31
By smitty (wilmington,DE)
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.

 "Compact power that lasts all day" 2009-12-08
By J. Ralls (Fremont, CA USA)
This little wonder is a great jobsite drill/driver. It's small and light enough to fit in a tool-belt bag. The battery has enough charge so that the two it comes with last the whole day, with plenty left over. It has plenty of power for most home-building jobs short of driving lag bolts, and the little headlight is great for setting screws in dark recesses.



My only complaint is that the various manufacturers of similar tools didn't standardize their battery packs, so pick the brand that has the right combination of other tools for the work you do.
