 "Excellent quality tool" 2010-02-17
By Mark (usa)
I have never been disappointed with ANY Milwaukee tool I have used, but this is a Rhino of a drill that will stand up to anything you throw at it! I believe these are all in plastic cases now (not sure of that) which is a bummer, but that's the way of the world. Plastic cases are great in a way, because they dont scratch and rust and stuff, but the metal boxes actually have STORAGE SPACE... a novel idea. All the plastic seems to do is protect the tool. I want STORAGE dang it!

Either way a great drill.

 "Great drill, wrong picture" 2009-02-03
By EB
I got the drill and knocked out a wiring project in no time with it. The drill feels very solid and works very smoothly.



The one complaint I have is that the case is plastic, not the one in the picture. It's a good case, but when buying on the internet, you have to trust the pictures and descriptions. The case is an above average plastic case, so it's not a huge deal.



I only take off one star because of the inaccurate picture. The drill is five star.

 "Will pay for itself after one wiring job." 2002-03-21
By W. H. Jamison, Jr. (Burien, Washington United States)
If you are going to be doing any serious wiring around your house buy one of these drills, don't argue with me, don't cavil and whine that's it's too expensive, just buy the drill. Now Drilling between joists, or up into wall cavities, tasks which are a complete pain in the neck with a standard drill are almost effortless with the 3002. I had to run a bundle of wires through 12 floor joists, with this drill it took me about 15 minutes to drill all of the holes I needed and run the wires. Like every other Milwaukee product the drill is very well built and durable and if taken care of will last forever.

I use this drill at work on a daily bases and it has never let me down. The extra long handle is great when your dilling overhead. This model has a higher rpm than the standard right angle dill kit. The higher rpm's make drilling wood a lot easier. I only wish Milwaukee would have put the Quik-Lok cord on this model. No tool is perfect but this one comes close.

 "a real meat eater" 2010-04-01
By Mr. Robert Carroll (Freedom ,Ca)
This thing is a real work horse. It's got the torque to drill through anything. Before when I needed a drill such as this, I either borrowed one or rented one. But when I saw the price I bought it with no hesitation. I've bought other Milwaukee reconditioned tools before and they performed flawlessly. This drill performs and delivers like a new one. When I knew that I had some remodel work to do I knew I had to get this knowing that I could use it without the meter running. I can also take off the angle drive and use this drill to mix tile grout and ect. This thing rocks. Ive never had a problem with any Milwaukee poer tools.

 "milwaukee right angle drill" 2010-01-27
By Randall Albertson (Kalamazoo, MI, US)
This drill has been great. It was a factory-reconditioned drill, but I wouldn't have been able to tell except for the stickers that said so. No dings or scratches on this drill when it came. I did have to change the 90 degree attachment around because it was on the faster setting and I wanted the slower setting. That wasn't to easy because I couldn't remove the chuck. I had to take it to a motor repair shop where they removed the chuck fairly easy because they have the right tools. And they didn't charge me. But as far as the drill works, it is great. Very happy with the drill and the price compared to brand new.

 "So far so good" 2010-01-02
By Caleb Callahan (Norwalk, CT USA)
I have not used it much yet but like what I have



This tore right through a series of joists (end-to-end of an attic) followed by some doubled up studs at an awkward angle -- stuff that would have destroyed prior drills I have. So far this thing is solid -- the other reviews are on target.



I wanted to get the version of the drill with a slightly higher RPM but opted for the much less expensive refurbished version.



The pros:

Solid milwaukee drill - this type of corded tool is right in milwaukee's wheelhouse as far as what they do well.



The cons:

It is pretty heavy, corded, and you need a wrench to change the direction of the bit or swap the chuck. Per the description you can change the RPM by reversing the right angle chuck. All of these items are the trade-offs for getting a pretty solid tool that will stand up to a beating so they do not detract from the star rating at all; just worth knowing.



The only item I found annoying was someone's initials scratched into the handle -- easily corrected by scratching them out but that is the other trade-off for a cheaper, refurbished drill.

 "Great drill and a great price" 2009-12-18
By Jim McCorison (Orcas Island, WA)
I purchased this reconditioned drill due to the combination of capabilities and price. Generally I have found reconditioned products to be superior to factory new. They have had personal attention and been gone through at a level that doesn't normally happen on the assembly line. This drill arrived looking like new. If it weren't for the reconditioned stickers on the case, I would have thought it was new.



The only niggles that I have are that the hex key for the screw that secures the chuck was missing, and that the design of the rotation collar makes it difficult to loosen and tighten the bolt nearest the drill body. These are very minor flaws in an otherwise superb product.

 "Good heavy duty drill" 2009-11-24
By Computer Man
I'm very satisfied with this drill. I bought it for use with self-feed bits for drilling through joists, etc, and it has worked out very well. It feels like it will last the rest of my life, if not longer. It wasn't immediately obvious to me from the description that the High/Low gearing is not selectable with a switch -- instead it involves removing the right-angle mechanism, removing the chuck, putting the chuck on the other side of the right-angle mechanism, and re-attaching. Not a quick operation. But for my purposes, I leave it on Low all the time anyway. As far as speed control, it is true variable-speed (trigger controlled), just as you'd expect, but I wasn't 100% sure on that from the description either.

 "Torque and power in a small package" 2010-04-17
By B. Byrne
Don't let the statements about power and torque mislead you. This drill is not particularly big. The accessory handle makes it larger on the y axis, but the over all drill is not that big.



The power is great, and I don't know how people use cordless drills for serious work.



One nit-picky complaint. The chuck needs to be tight; and I mean tight. I was using a 4 1/4 hole saw for nice and neat holes in the ceiling drywall for remodeling the kitchen and dining lighting. The hole saw bit slipped out after the 3rd hole. It's drywall, come on....Turns out that what I thought was secure needed more torque from the Allan key/Jacobs chuck than I realized.



My father always lends me his old Milwaukee tools from the 80's when I ask. They still work great, and its why I purchased my own.

 "unhappy" 2010-02-10
By L. Burnette
This is a very powerful drill and I have no doubt that it will drill most any size hole that you have a bit for but I think that Milwaukee should have a little better quality control.

The reason I say this is that while drilling the third 3/4" I reversed the drill to clean the bit, the chuck wound off the shaft and there between the joist was a bit half way through with the chuck attached. The only to remove them was to back them out useing a pipe wrench. Upon examination I found that the left hand threaded screw that locks the chuck on the shaft was broken allowing the chuck to unwind off the shaft when the drill was reversed. For this to happen, the screw had to be loose from the factory. A quick inspection would have prevented this and I would not have lost 2 days on a job that I needed to finish by this friday. I returned the drill for a refund and purchased the standard right angle drill instead. Needless to say I am unhappy with the delay, since I am a small contractor and should be starting another job Monday instead of having to spend another day on this one.

Amazon was very helpful in returning this item.

 "One Awesome Drill..." 2009-11-29
By W. B. Halper (Saratoga, CA)
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.

By Kevin R. Fedewa (Colorado)
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.

 "Great Drill For Garden Auger!" 2009-06-29
By Joseph W. Casale (West Hartford, CT USA)
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!

 "Excellent product" 2008-12-09
By Mark J. Harrington (Granby, CO)
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.

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.

 "Made in China" 2010-03-20
By M. Swaim (NC United States)
When my imported drill died, I remembered the excellent Milwaukee hole shooter I used to use at a job long ago. I remembered the excellent service I've got out of a USA made Milwaukee circular saw and USA made Milwaukee Sawzall. My local big box store didn't carry the Milwaukee drill I thought I wanted, so I ordered it from Amazon thinking that I was going to get another fine product from Milwaukee. Well, right beside the line that says Milwaukee Brookfield IL is a line that says Made in China. I'm not at all happy that this renowned professional tool supplier has chosen to outsource product. It would be one thing if they were offering a lower cost line that was outsourced, but this 1/2" drill cost significantly more than the similar competition, and I bought it specifically believing that it was a quality USA made product. It's an import with a plastic housing not terribly dissimilar from other more obvious imported drills offering more features at lower prices available locally.



That said, it does seem to be well made and has already proved capable of easily running a 2 1/2" hole saw, a 3/4" ship's auger bit, and a 1 1/4" wood boring bit all through 2"x4"s and 2"x6"s, as well as plywood. It's also run a 1/2" metal bit through 1/4" mild steel without a hitch (though that did take awhile). Overall, I like the drill, but I wish that a company named after an American city, who built their reputation on American union labor wouldn't outsource to countries where their external costs are completely hidden or would at least be honest enough to put that in bold print on the external advertising. For me, this is the last Milwaukee anything, since even though I like the products, I don't trust the company any more. That's indicative of just how far we've fallen as a country, if even the brands named for our cities aren't made here anymore. Good buy Milwaukee. You were once a fine brand.
