On my third warranty product. The chuck is not good. The drill is BEYOND AMAZING! I think I will attach a Jacobs Chuck and call it good. This time around it will cost another 20 bucks or so. Milwaukee has excellent service!

I’ve owned this drill for over a year now and haven’t had a single complaint but for my round drill bits slipping occasionally. When I purchased bits with hex shafts that problem stopped completely. The battery lasts a very long time and being able to press a button to tell how much of a charge is an added benefit. After months of non-use it still holds it’s charge. My prior drill from a different manufacturer held up for years but failed miserably in the end and was far less powerful than this one. I’m a very happy owner! I’ve recommended it to friends and family without reservation.

Pros – Torquey drill, so far has tackled every job I’ve thrown at it. Long battery life comes with 2 batts out of the box.Cons – only one I can think of is that the battery can take what seems forever to charge, but comes with 2 batts. I haven’t had a job where I need 2 batts though.

This driver was the first Milwaukee cordless tool I owned, and served a wide variety of daily tasks, well beyond it’s intended purpose. I over-used one of these for 4 years as a stand in for a die grinder/grinder in work prepping steel repairs and engine work with a wire wheel. I have used this for almost every task imaginable, and when it finally died, I quicly replaced it and continue to have it as my go-to driver for use around home and when travelling. The fuel hammer drill has replaced it for more professional use, and does have more power for tougher jobs and hammer drill function, but this is a great quality product.

After nearly six years of use this drill is still kicking. I have actually made it past the 5 year warranty period with some serious use out of this drill. I say this as I have killed numerous high end corded drills over the years and this thing replaced them. Honestly, it wasn’t my first choice back in 2014 when I picked it up, but it was in stock. After realizing this thing had more than enough power, even more than some of my corded drills, I stuck with and have never looked back. I use this drill for about everything imaginable from drilling, driving and to starting small engines. While the impact does work better for sinking large fasteners Ill reach for this just as often. The drill is not without it’s flaws, however, these problems are only a small nuisance and have only began to present themselves. I freely admit I’m not gentle on tools what so ever, from accidentally dropping them, to putting them through there paces without brakes…9.0 life, and forgetting them outside in the elements. The first nuisance that presented itself is that the chuck occasionally gets stuck shut resulting in the use of some channel locks to brake er free. A lil bit of lube, wd40 usually sorts this problem right out. Second, the fan literally grenaded itself out the back of this thing, but besides from running a little hotter than it already did, it’s still working. Third, she likes to get stuck in gear, no problem however as long as a screw driver and hammer are present. I also don’t change the gear much into low gear, which is probably the reason for it getting stuck. And believe it or not that’s all. The trigger still works flawlessly along with the forward/reverse switch, and the clutch system all function. I’m still using the drill to this day and I’m honestly curious how much longer the brushes, or the drill will last.

The Drill is awesome, bought this exact same product for my dad and he loves it.I decided to buy one for myself following his review.THE PROBLEM is the shipping, UPS can no longer be trusted to deliver to the correct address or on the scheduled day. Just go to a Home Depot store location to get tools because the SHIPPING situation SUCKS.
