Hello All,
This is my first post and i am looking for some advice on the Milwaukee drill. I am a basic homeowner looking for a good cordless drill as my 14.4 DeWalt has died. Looking at this drill only 4 pounds, it’s being powered by lithium ion batteries makes it a front-runner in my book but will it be powerful enough for a day’s worth of driving screws and the other tasks I may tackle. Wondering if this would be a good choice or if there is something else I should consider? Again I am a homeowner in need of a quality tool. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you for your consideration.

Patrick

I’ve got one of the older (2002) Milwaukee 18 volt battery and I’ll sing nothing but songs of praise for it. This is one tool that I probably use at least once a day for something. In fact I just a short time ago I drilled a 3/8 hole in a 3/8 thick piece of metal with it!
As for driving screws all day long on one battery it might be a stretch. Again, it depends if you are driving drywall screws, or if you are driving 6×1/2” lag screws. But, you can recharge a battery in an hour and you can always have a fresh battery.
If I needed another drill, I’d buy one without question.

Milwaukee is a name brand that usually is quality. Specifically, I haven’t heard anything about this unit.
