Great drill, did the concrete job I needed it for. As far as I am concerned cordless Milwaukee equipment is the best.

This hammer drill has awesome power, decent battery life, and is very comfortable to use. Once again, Milwaukee has surpassed my expectations. The drill comes with a hard case, a charger, and two compact 2.0 Ah batteries. I had both batteries completely charged in under an hour. The charger can also handle M12 batteries as well.There are three selectable modes of operation: screwdriver with 18 clutch settings, regular drill, and drill with hammer action. I started with the regular drill setting, and bored a dozen holes through a 2×4 with a 1/2″ bit without a problem. Then I turned the 2×4 on its side and drilled through the long way once. On the second hole it hit a knot and stalled – with enough torque to just about wrench the whole thing out of my hand. Once I turned on the hammer function, it blasted right through without another issue. In total, I drilled 12 holes through the 1.5″ direction, and 4 holes through the 3.5″ direction. Afterwards, the battery was registering between 1/2 and 3/4 charge – it gave me two 1/2 readings when I checked, but after 15 minutes of sitting idle it registered 3/4. Maybe hit had something to do with the battery temperature. I think the battery life is satisfactory for basic DIY use, but if you’re a professional, you may want to spring for the kit with the 4.0 Ah batteries.The only disappointment I had was that the drill doesn’t come with a belt clip, which I found for another $9 online. The screw holes are there for mounting one, but the actual clip isn’t included with the kit. There also isn’t any place on the drill that holds a screwdriver bit, but then again, it’s a hammer drill and not an impact driver.

I bought a Milwaukee Magnum corded drill 30 years ago and it is practically like new, but needed a decent impact for portability. This drill is amazing, really cant believe how rugged it is and what it is capable of. A VERY powerful and well build drill. It comes with a belt clip but would be nice if there was some easy way to hang it on a 2×4 beam. Some type of hanger accessory would be pretty handy. Couldn’t be happier this drill is definitely the best I have ever used. Just sayin –

This compact hammer drill will surprise you with wrist snapping torque and a hammer mechanism that’s the very best. Head to head with a 20v max and this little hammerdrill came out as the clear winner
