I’ve owned this drill for +8 years and have had zero issues with it. Still has tons of power and is still going strong. I am a home owner DIYer. Worth the money all day long.
I got this drill in a set that came with their equivalent level impact driver as well. Both tools work to a level that I am completely pleased with as a sporadic DIYer
Just bought the Milwaukee 7 piece set . This is the drill that was included. Paid $499, needed a decent set of tools for DIY projects hope they hold up. Nice review, thanks👍🏻
I have one of these, my dad is an electritian and he passed it down to me. Its been basically to hell and back again, and its still going strong for me. Never stalled it, never had it even bog down on me. Absolutely love it, both for how amazing of a tool it is and for how long I've had it (it legit has sentimental value to me)
I'm a home owner i picked up the brushless m18 Milwaukee drill driver it came with two 2.0 amp hour batteries and a charger $132.00 out the door and i look forward to trying it out. I have mostly used Dewalt tools in the past.
Got this drill and the impact in a kit for work about a month ago. I’m an A/V tech so I’ve been using this to wire houses for cat6, speakers, etc and hang TVs. Honestly it’s been pretty good so far. A 5.0 battery will last for like 2-3 days of work easily.
I bought that drill a few weeks ago and love it and I love the impact Drill that came with it it's almost powerful enough to take lug nut off and to almost titan them All the way
I have the M18 Fuel hammer/driver. It is good BUT the clutch is too strong for most stuff I do like drilling in 2x4, plywood, etc.. I can't use the clutch even on the lowest setting since it is too strong, I am guessing it is at 12 pounds on low? I guess it is made for heavier duty stuff. I recommend M12 Fuel or other brand for most people since you can use the clutch more. BTW new M18 and M12 is coming out in a few weeks.
Yea after using a screwdriver for 8-10 different times from the beginning of the year to now, i said ok i need a drill, and lugging electrical wire to use my dads old drills that require electrical power extension.
Right on. I just won this driver at my companies Christmas give away. Just trying to get some info on it here. (Too lazy to read the manual) Keep in mind that most of these manufactures make different grades of tools for both pro and home use. If you use the home grade tools hard, you'll burn them up.
I've thought about getting mi18 tools, but I am so heavily vest in dewalt lineup it doesn't make sense to have to battery systems m I have lots of milwaukee corded tools they are much better than dewalts corded tools
I really wanted to go with DeWalt because my brother uses them. I thought using the same battery system would be a huge plus. Their model numbering system seems random to me, and they give vague information on their drills. 40 % more power? More power than what? They rate torque in made-up or possibly imaginary units. I like to research and compare products before buying. When I was in the trades decades ago, I seldom if ever saw a new Milwaukee tool. They all looked as though they had been abused for 20 years, but they still worked like new. That is why I am now looking at Milwaukee.
Yeah it’s tough figuring out what to get. And as soon as you buy something, they come out with a better model. Both platforms are great! Milwaukee is a bit better in the impact drill world on my opinion. I love my 1/4” fuel impact. It’s practically all I use for everyday screwing. Like 3” grk all day long. And my favourite dewalt is the 850. Enjoy shopping😊
I just got this drill for my birthday. Seems like a nice drill. I was disappointed that it didn't come with a bit holder. My old craftsman had that built in on both sides for a flat and philips. I've seen the add on bit holder and it looks bulky how it hangs off the side.
It’s funny how the chepo drills seem to have some cool features that the better more powerful drills and impacts don’t. I have the gen 3 m18 fuel impact and hammer drill. I also have a brushed ryobi set and what I love about both ryobis is that yes they have the bit holder ( so do the fuel tools) but more importantly the feature I love that the Milwaukee’s don’t have is the built in magnetic trays to hold your screws. It’s an awesome feature that I love on ladder. I know I can hot glue a magnet on my Milwaukee’s but then I’m making that shiny red beast look janky. Funny though I wish they would use some of the features the lesser brands have (technically Milwaukee and ryobi are both owned by Tti )
That bit holder feature was honestly a pain in the @ss when you use it all day at work. The bits would hang out just a little and get caught on stuff, fall out and get lost, then that little metal clip that holds the bit in there would eventually fall out. This is all based off my experience with the older dewalts that had that feature.
Im just now after like 15 yrs replacing my Craftsman 19 V stuff with the Milwaukee tools and Im quite sure my Craftsman was brushed well i know cause i had to replace brushes in one drill after like 12 yra of comm Electrical, HVAC-R. Brushless,
Wish I had those pack. I'm a Milwaukee guy and I'm slowly but surely buying Milwaukee tools. Haven't got into buying power tools yet. Good review. Thanks for the video.
For some reason my chuck is stuck with a drill bit in it. I need to open the chuck to change my bit, but can't get it to budge. It is a brushless hammer drill. Any cool ideas as to how to get the chuck to move without too much trouble?
The batteries that come with that drill are useless. The m18 1.5ah is significantly less power on this drill than a xc5 or even a cp3. I’ve had that drill for a while and it’ll even mix a 5 gallon bucket of joint compound with a 6ah. Took it back for warranty after 2 years and got new one this week

That’s awesome, it’s always great to have tools like that. I have a few passed down to me as well.
Keep on crushing it!

I just got it today mine came in a nice Milwaukee box with 2 batteries I love it thanks for the video
You're welcome, thanks for watching!

Is it normal for a new Milwaukee drill with brushes to spark when brand new?
yeah i think so, all of my brands have done that in the beginning
Exactly what i wanted to no
Nice vid brother! Curious as to where you got that nice clamp from you used to hold the piece of wood in? Gonna pick me up some
Are the sparks normal on the inside of the drill?
typically yes for new drills, just be careful and use glasses, the sparks go away after a while

Hello I found a combo set 10 tool kits in Home Depot. Should I get it ?
Very thorough and helpful review. I'm a new home owner looking for a decent drill for around the house jobs. I'm sold. Thanks.
Yea after using a screwdriver for 8-10 different times from the beginning of the year to now, i said ok i need a drill, and lugging electrical wire to use my dads old drills that require electrical power extension.
I have that drill and i like it and the impact driver that's comes with it is powerful enough to take bolts off
Yeah they’re a good set to have. Thanks
For watching 👊
I've been using & abusing this brushed model for like 6 months now... never let me down and always gets the job done.
It was brushed tools that built the Milwaukee reputation.
Will the Motor turn if the battery is on level one?. But the light turns on.
I’m new to tool
What is a brushed model?
Right on. I just won this driver at my companies Christmas give away. Just trying to get some info on it here. (Too lazy to read the manual)
Keep in mind that most of these manufactures make different grades of tools for both pro and home use. If you use the home grade tools hard, you'll burn them up.
Thank you so much for this video..
I just brought this drill
Glad I could help, thanks for watching
Can you review the Dewalt cordless 18 gauge brad nailer and Dewalt 1/4 variable speed cordless sander? Love the videos man!

It seems that most drills and impacts are moving away from that feature.

BTW, I'm a retired Electrical HVAC-R contractor of 30+ yrs in business.
Loved your review very informative thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Great video ! Thank you!
Thank you 😊

thanks!
For some reason my chuck is stuck with a drill bit in it. I need to open the chuck to change my bit, but can't get it to budge.
It is a brushless hammer drill.
Any cool ideas as to how to get the chuck to move without too much trouble?
What does it mean if it’s not brushless?
It means it won't last long so if using it alot then go with brushless.
Is it brushless?
No
Doing a Milwaukee review with a bunch of walt products in the background
Can I drill 6 small holes into the concrete with it? Don't want to spend money buying a hammer drill for 6 small holes.
I used it to mix a 5 gallon bucket of concrete and break a door key nob it was ok
The batteries that come with that drill are useless. The m18 1.5ah is significantly less power on this drill than a xc5 or even a cp3. I’ve had that drill for a while and it’ll even mix a 5 gallon bucket of joint compound with a 6ah. Took it back for warranty after 2 years and got new one this week
good to know, thx!
Good review
thank you
YOU NEEED MORE TOOLS. you could never have enough.
SO TRUE!!!
This was a very poor review, improper use of words, i was thinking the whole time is this dude drunkk or highh.
