   Bought this drill because of the great reviews and my long (35 years) history of great success with Milwaukee quality and performance. For the first time they really let me down. Drill works, but makes a clicking sound that definately should not be there. Drill has great torque, wonderful, subtle speed control, but a bit heavier than I wish for extended use. Home Depot is exchanging it and I’m hoping the new one will perform flawlessly. Without this problem, I’d have given it five stars.

   The drill arrived in only a few days after ordering. It is replacing my previous Milwaukee drill that lasted 50 years when the chuck became hard to use. My new Milwaukee drill has a key-less chuck which is very easy and positive to use. The drill is a little longer than my other hand-held drills with the placement of reduction gears up-front that reduce the RPM’s to the stated 1000. With the 8-amp motor, it is incredibly powerful. It also has the handy reversing switch. My previous Milwaukee drill drew only 3.5 amps and was quite sufficient. There is no need for additional power than what this newer drill has. The removable cord is also handy. I use this drill only for really demanding jobs

   More than 12 years ago, I got a job hanging steel security doors. The screws required a LOT of torque to sink them, so I bought this exact drill. I had to sell the drill within a year due to hard times, and regretted it until now. Now I’m adding this to my current drill collection since the job I have now requires drilling through tough stainless steel. I know the Magnum combined with a cobalt drill bit will get the job done. You will get you money’s worth if you buy this Milwaukee drill, and Home Depot has the best price for the model with the keyless chuck.

   Tried to buy this drill from store but workers are a joke! Got online and ordered it from a very nice and helpful person. She made the order simple and pain free. Several drills look the same so don’t be fooled into buying a less quality drill. I own two of these drills now and am very pleased with both.

   I love my 18v cordless, but, Installing 4×8 panels overhead for 8 hours at a time… you need something lighter, while just as tough. This drill has lots of torque, has an excellant quick chuck, and you won’t need to be Governor Terminater to use it overhead all day. The price is pretty nice too.

   This was a replacement for one that I had like it and got very good service out of. Like the removable cord, and chuck works real well. The one that this is replacing had for 8 years with heavy use.

   Needed a drill with good overall power and long life. We manufacture machines for production facilities. Our tools get a lot of work. Much higher then average. Milwaukee has not let us down.
