Powerful, but compact! The drill/driver does not include a battery, but will use any Milwaukee M12 battery. I chose the smaller M12 2.0 for this evaluation. Using the smaller battery keeps the total tool weight at 2 lbs. 11 oz. This was important to me as I wanted a light weight drill/driver to carry up and down ladders.It’s also about 1 inch smaller in length and width and 1 pound lighter than Milwaukee’s M18 drill/driver. See Photos and video.Even though it is compact in size it is full of features: it has a ½” keyless chuck that works well, a clutch to set torque, a switch to select 2 speed ranges, a variable speed trigger, an LED work light, and a battery life indicator.As you can see in the video I drilled several holes in a 2”x 4”. I drilled 3, 5/8” holes and 2, 1 & 1/8” holes using spade bits. The spade bits require quite a bit of torque to drill holes, but this drill was more than up to it. In addition I also drove 4, 2” wood screws into the 2”x 4”. There was still half the battery’s life left when I was finished. I considered this an excellent result while using the smaller battery.

There is much to like about this drill. It feels super solid and fits well in my hand. I really like the all metal chuck, and especially the fact that it opens to 1/2 an inch. I have a couple other drills that don’t, and it is a real pain. This drill is slightly shorter and slightly lighter than its predecessor, but has 75 pounds more torque. You can really feel it in your hand. It powers through most fasteners, but I did notice it struggled a little big with #9 3″ construction screws. Had to switch to the 18v to get them all the way in. It also goes through a battery pretty quick if you are using big drill bits or driving long screws.

Great drill with incredible power in such a small package. This is a tool only purchase, it does not come with a battery, or any attachments or accessories. Only get this if you already have some M12 tools and extra batteries. That being said, I’m pretty impressed with this little guy. It completely outperforms my 8 year old 18v drill and is easily 1/2 the size. It’s a bit heavier than I expected, but not so heavy that it will create any strain or stress over long periods of time. The chuck is easy to work, the tool is very comfortable, and the controls are all easily accessed. The one odd thing about this drill is that there’s a slight delay in the drill getting up to speed that I haven’t seen in previous drills. It has an adjustable control, however when you fully pull the trigger from a cold stop there’s about a 1/2 second delay before the motor is at full speed. This is probably a good thing so that it doesn’t unseat the bit from a screwhead, but I still found it odd and will need to get used to it. Otherwise I couldn’t find anything to dislike about this guy and am happy to have it in my bag.

Can never go wrong choosing Milwaukee. Best of the best.

This is a very nice drill and much more powerful than I anticipated. I have an old 18v cordless drill with a nicd battery that is getting tired so I thought this would be a good replacement. The drill is as powerful, if not more, than the 18v one it is replacing. It has a two-speed gearbox and is very nimble vs. the larger body and battery on my old drill. There is a battery meter on the drill to let you know when it is time to recharge and with the small battery I’m getting plenty of run-time for my uses. I also like that there are larger batteries available should I need them.

Nice compact drill that can get into small spaces. This tool is the drill but not the hammer drill. It takes 1/2″ bits and smaller. The best part is that it delivers power in small spaces which makes it my go-to drill for most small projects. If you need the hammer drill setting, then you have to get the hammer-drill model. Both are lightweight and compact. There are two speed selections. This doesn’t come with a charger or battery, but if you already have a charger from a Milwaukee kit, it will work for this M-12 fuel. It comes with a 5-year limited warranty. You can’t go wrong with this go-to drill in your toolbox.

Works great out of the box. After using this fuel unit I gave my old unit to a friend to start his Milwaukee transition.

I bought this drill as a tool-only package after buying the hammer drill brother. In my line of work we install/remove thousands of fine thread, sheet metal fasteners that don’t need a lot of torque. As a review above said, on the lower torque settings it spins up. And once you find a torque setting that spins up in a short amount of time, it easily over torques every fastener we have. I love the idea of the electronic clutch, but I can’t use it in my line. I’d buy this again in a heartbeat if they had a centrifugal clutch, or an eclutch that ramped up quickly in the lower torque setting.

I use this drill on many different projects like building cabinets, drywalling, and basically, anything you could think of to put screws into besides concrete drilling. But obviously Milwaukee makes other drills for that.

my last one worked like a champ for 4 years. I was going strong until I loaned it out and they dropped into water and used right after.
