Worst thing I can say about it (besides costing more than the inferior competitors): do not try to use this as a power screwdriver, or you will likely twist off either your screw heads or your favorite arm: no clutch, you see. The keyless chuck is two-piece with decent knurling, so I've had no problems with bits working their way loose (so far). The side handle is removeable and adjusts to almost any angle, helping right or left handers steady their grip when working vertically or horizontally. Bought this to replace a somewhat battered DeWalt, and the difference is noticeable -- on every level. I am very happy with this unit, and I would bet money you will be as well. Nice-looking drill, as drills go, admirably high top speed. Very torquey, fine speed control via the trigger, reversible (though I don't think they point that out). Double-insulated so it has a two-prong plug, fine cord length and heaviness.
Drill does seem to be a little longer then the one it replaced( stolen in breaak-in) Bought by accident - returned for drill with chuck. Being Milwalkee they will last forever.
Nails aren't good enough - we must have screws. This tool makes the job fast and easy. We ordered the Milwaukee 3/8 inch drill to build a garden shed. I can only imagine how difficult it must have been before the electric drill was invented. We have had no problems even though it is a rebuilt drill. I have been waiting for this for 3 years and finally it is taking shape. When my husband finally gets to work, he builds to last til the millennium.
These are lifetime tools and powerful. Milaukee tools are in a class of their own.
It's nice to have a drill that has power at low rpms, and high rpms to get the job done. I can feel the difference in the power and quality. Battery operated drills have there place, but in my opinion they will never replace the all around preformance of a corded drill. Once again it's proven to me that Milwaukee makes the finest drill available. It costs a little more but after going through a Dewalt and a Minnkota similar quality drill.
