great power and speed control. excellent for big or small projects. You'll love this drill.
Drill everything. Drill anything WHERE IS THE CARRYING CASE.I drill 3 1/8 bugle heads through masonite as if it was pine, my paddle bit churns drywall as easy as cake mix.We had a large rock in a tight place that couldn't be sledged hammered, so we took a mason bit and just punched holes into until we could break it up with framing hammers.They should make a horror movie and give the killer this drill instead of a chainsaw, it's that killer.
I am in the trades and have owned the 1/2 inch magnum drills for years without to many problems except the notorious switch problem milwaukee has. The drills have lasted for years and have always had plenty of power and durability. I purchased a replacement drill with the new handle configuration and it just didn't hold up.The drill is now dangerous to use without a handle and it is such a hassle to get a replacement.I'm looking for a new brand.
This is one incredible tool. It has driven 4 inch long 3/8ths lag screws without a problem.
This drill came out head and shoulders above the offerings from hitatchi, makita, dewalt, portercable and bosch. The highlights of this drill are gobs of torque(It will twist your arm if you are not careful).
I bought this drill based on a tool shootout of high amperage 1/2 inch drills in tools of the trade magazine. I have been so impressed at the capabilities of this drill.
solid yet lightweight construction, a long, heavy gauge ruber 3 prong cord, a heavy duty keyed chuck. I picked this drill up at the home depot during a tool trade in promotion(traded in an old single speed metal bodied black and decker 3/8th drill).
It will stir a paddle bit in drywall mud and drive up to a 2 and 9/16ths self feed bit. I will be replacing the keyed chuck with a keyless though.
I bough tthis drill and it is great. It also offers very smooth easy to control variable speed trigger. The torque is enough for any job you will run into for a hand drill. It runs 2-1/2" forestner bits without any difficulty. The only thing I was disappionted in was that I like having cases for my tools and this one didn't come with one. Milwaukee will sell you one but I would rather make my own than pay that much for a box.
