 "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.

More torque than drill motors with more amps. Use both handles when drilling through sill plates or headers, it will twist your wrist if you let drill bind.

 "Why did they change the design" 2003-10-12
By Andrew D. Todd (Ocracoke, NC United States)
I am in the trades and have owned the 1/2 inch magnum drills for years without to many problems except the notorious switch problem milwaukee has. The drills have lasted for years and have always had plenty of power and durability. I purchased a replacement drill with the new handle configuration and it just didn't hold up.The drill is now dangerous to use without a handle and it is such a hassle to get a replacement.I'm looking for a new brand.

 "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.

 "After some twenty years..." 2010-03-03
By Joe Sevy (Idaho USA)
This is the same drill I bought some twenty years ago. From the day I bought it, to today; it has NEVER been a problem. It's never been repaired, it's never started making "that funny noise". Other than a little rust on the chuck, it's still the same drill I payed for. It's simply not possible to ask for a better value.

 "best that money can buy" 2010-02-04
By J. Hough (Austin, TX)
this has everything you need in a corded drill; it is a beautifully engineered tool. I can't get over how it sounds (like a jet warming up)!

 "BEST DRILL FOR THE MONEY" 2010-01-07
By WOODCARVER (CLEVELAND, OH)
Great drill with plenty of power. This is the drill to have when you want good variable speed control. Well built. We've had a similar model in our machine shop at work for well over 10 years. It gets beat on (lots of holes in steel plates, covered in oily chips,...) and i think about all's we've done is fix the trigger switch.

 "Best drill evar!" 2009-12-28
By J. Bussjaeger (USA)
A heavy duty long lasting wonder drill! Oh, it is heavy too.

My old friend has had this model drill for 20 years. google it, you'll find pros who have 20+ year old versions of this drill.



The only downside is that it is now made in China instead of Mexico and before that it was made in the USA; you'll see the cost is lower now than it was long ago as a result. I don't know if quality has suffered, it seems fine to me.
