- My honest review of the Milwaukee 2415-20 12-Volt Lithium-Ion Cordless Right Angle Drill. Hint I don’t like it. Milwaukee makes great tools but really missed the mark on this one. This video explains why and what other options inside and the Milwaukee platform you choose instead.

I LOVE this tool. The skinny batteries give i better clearance than anything else. That's what matters to me. It's THE tool that fits for drilling out broken studs on a hemi engine. It's also great for when I need to get the wire wheel or other cleaning discs into hard to reach areas. I just used it for cleaning up the engine block surface gor a water pump on a 4.7l dodge v8, and I use it in many other places. Yeah, it's slow, but it is a fantastic tool in an engine bay. It's the tool I thought I would use for 1 job, but I use it way more often than I ever thought.
Glad it works well for you!
Thank you for your honest review. I saw the Milwaukee Right Angle Drill for raising sails on a sailboat.
Oh that’s an interesting use for it!
I have that lovely tool (he said with a eye roll). I got it with a deal and two batteries so the tool only cost $40ish. That still was a wast of money. Best thing I have used it for is when my nephews come over. I let them just put screws in random boards and don’t have to worry about them breaking a good tool! Liking the channel keep it up!!
Oh wow! Well at least you found a side use!
This might be one of the most funniest POS tool stories I've read in a while.
Good honest review. I like you logic about who will use the the product.
I appreciate that!
Thanks for posting great info Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦 .
Awesome thanks for watching Gord! Love 🇨🇦, was at Niagara last summer and my son will be in a martial arts tournament north of Toronto this summer, can’t wait to visit again!
Great tips as always thanks for sharing
Thanks Jim
keep up the great content. I'm subbed and eager to see more.
Thanks, will do!
Hi mate, great no nosense honest review.. Don't change anything you do and yes, it is different to all most any other woodworking channel. I have subscribed and look forward to viewing many more of your posts.kmdc from Oz.
Thanks so much Keith! Was worried about this one 😬 but had to say it
Refreshing to see a brutally honest review 👏
Thanks! Gotta be honest with the viewers!
Great video! Common sense, accurate, and to the point!
Thanks!
Good honest review!
Thanks!
Thanks for the heads up. I was about to buy one since I’m trying to consolidate into m12s. I have too many different chargers and too many different batteries. I see now that consolidating is a hopeless endeavor. Even Milwaukee makes junk. I have several cheep tools that have surprised me at their quality and usefulness and each has their own system that doesn’t fit anything else.. I guess I’ll have to contend with the growing assortment of chargers and batteries since those adapters add way to much bulk and they don’t make them for the off brands.
Well I would say they are a great brand but yea not everything’s a home run, I like the idea of running a pricer and cheaper platform, keeping it to two batteries, like a Milwaukee and ryobi. Your one off tools you can buy the cheaper and heavy use in the premium. And considering the ryobi makes the best right angle… 👍
Du hast mich gerettet, ich wollte es kaufen.Jetz nicht mehr.Danke für das Video 👍
Bitte schön ✌️
Great video. nuff said!
Much appreciated
Thank you,for your video
Thanks for watching!
I wish I had seen this before buying that tool! I might still be within my return window, but I don’t know where I put the receipt lol! I used it once and it put the screws into the mailbox like I needed it to, but yea I agree that the power just isn’t there!
If it’s one of the big box stores, they can just look you up by your credit card. I bought mine as part of a kit two months ago, I don’t want to return the other parts of the kit, so I’ve had it for sale on marketplace this whole time for $40 off and not a single bite….
@@BitnerBuilt that’s good to know, thank you! Maybe don’t link this video in your marketplace link though ;) lol
I somewhat agree with you on the M12 right Angle. Somewhat is that for when I used it it worked. I bought it as part of a Set of tools when I purchased it must have been 6 years or more ago. My use was a tight spot, previously I used my corded close quarter Milwaukee Drill. For Big Stuff like joist drilling I use my HD Milwaukee Right Angle corded. Things I did and did not like about the M12 Right Angle. Like the chuck for holding shorter bits, overall it fit in very tight spots. Dislike the Fwd/Reverse Switch, the speed selector switch and the overall power. For the times I have used it, it works. It most likely will go to my tool self as I unpack tools to store and not in one of my drill bags. Most of those are done now by the M12 Installation Tool which is great.
Thanks for all that perspective Dan!
I got one for the specific purpose of agitating vehicle carpeting using 1/4" brush bits. It even sucks at that because the trigger is too close to the center of rotation. It needs to be further out to maximize leverage.
✌️
You're scrubbing carpets, I'm pretty sure you can use 2 hands. No matter what tool you are using, you are going to want to apply downforce. I have also used it for that purpose, it works great. You don't want big RPMs.
Totally agree. Have this tool and it’s garbage. Like you said I have the hardest time driving screws. Always slips off and I don’t know if it’s the torque (or lack thereof) but it’s super sensitive and finicky when it comes to driving screws
Thanks Craig I feel your pain!
Great review. I have both the right angle adapter and the Ryobi drill. Used both this week. Thanks
Nice 👍
i got mine free with my impact driver. worth it for the tight hvac spots i have to cut takeoffs in
For the free add on tool it works, especially for HVAC guys you guys are always in tight spots
Keep it up!
That's the plan!
I always wondered why the right angle drill, has yet to get a fuel/brushless version
Yea I doubt this sells well so prob not a priority
I have the install and hammer drill they are good real good.
Awesome!
The real. You also had me chuckling a little bit. I almost bought that m12 right angle.
Haha thanks!
I was super excited to check out safety source supply after seeing your video. Unfortunately it’s not a deal if you’re in Canada. With exchange rate and shipping (even tho the site says free shipping - guess not for Canada), I can get all the Milwaukee stuff much cheaper at my local Home Depot than this site 😢
Aww sorry to hear that Craig, I’ll let them know what you said. I found them through a Google search where they had the best price on a couple Milwaukee tools I was buying, so I was super happy with my purchases and left video reviews on their website and that’s when they reached out to me offering to do a sponsorship. I was all about it since their prices here in the US were super great, would much rather let people know about a site where you can save money on tools over a health food or some other paid sponsor 😬
@@BitnerBuilt thanks! I get it though, it’s typical when buying cross border
Man do I wish I saw this video. I bought the m18 version and needed it to repair my hot-tub. I burnt it up within 5 minutes. Yes, it's legit fried, smoking etc. Will be going back tomorrow. I'm also not a fan of the plastic chuck, all my milwaukee drills have metal, why is this plastic?
Wow!
I dont use this tool for drilling the adjustable speed and configuration makes it very useful for some jobs as for who makes the best one you can make that arguments with just about any tool. Get the m18 version if you want more power.
Thanks for sharing
as a _Professional_ automotive accessory fitter, this will be perfect for putting holes on the inside of plastic centre-console boxes, and otehr really tight spaces when making hidden-installs of Citizen-band radio units that have all the controls on the handset.. currently i struggle to fit my m12 hammer drill in some small spaces, and it wont fit in some consoles at all and i have to drill at an angle.
as for specs : the only thing i would not use that on is steel - if i had a choice, i still would if it was my only option, i'd just go slower and more gently.
additionally, as i already have a host of M12 batteries, this is the only sensible choice.
Well, the big point that I made in the video was that it’s a professional tool form factor (your a pro) but I was disappointed in it, having the worst specs for that tools form factor on the entire market. Obviously, if you’re locked into the Milwaukee m12 platform only then it’s your only choice for the form factor. But as a big fan of Milwaukee, I was very disappointed as I expect more from the brand on a professional form factor tool.
@@BitnerBuilt you said a pro wouldn't buy it even tough its aimed at pros. _my_ big point is that, it has its specific uses that it ideal for.. in my case - soft car-interior plastics.
not all pros have the same user requirements, luckily Milwaukee offers a range of these - 12/18v. perhaps your user-case scenario would be more suited to the other tool? and if so, that doesnt make the M12 version a "Bad Tool", it makes it "the wrong tool for you"
Not only that, it's amazong for broken exhaust manifold studs. Left handed drill bits and this tool saves a TON of time.
You can use Stubby Drill Bit Set with 90 angle adapter. Cheapest option.
Exactly, as I had mentioned the video, most people use that combination. The people who wanna buy a dedicated right angle drill, our professionals, who use this type of thing on a daily basis, and so for this to be so underpowered, doesn’t make it a professional tool.
Thanks for the review. I've been eyeing that up for a while, I'm glad I saw this. That thing sounds like it was running on an almost dead battery LOL, pathetic.
Yea if this form factors needed it’s a good time to buy another brand and be a dual platform because as good as Milwaukee is they don’t knock all of the tools out of the park
i have the makita 12v .wish it was a more powerful brushless tool .it is very small and still very valuable tool .it is small and this is what i need . i would prefer a dedicated tool then a does everything type . i have found the right angle impact to be far more useful then the right angle drill
Good to know, I had to Makita 12 V back in the day when it was the same size as the 18 V, so let’s power, but none of the size improvements 🥲
I don't think it's low on power. It's just that it's geared right down to give it enough torque to be used on screws.
You can't have it both ways !
I'm happy with mine .
For DIY, a dedicated right angle drill and an installation tool are a waste of money. If I was doing installs on a regular basis, however, I would purchase the Milwaukee install tool in a heartbeat. I also have the same DeWalt attachment for my Milwaukee M12 impact driver.
Agreed, that’s why I took exemption to it being a diy grade tool when it’s a pro installer tool that should be designed as such. I LOVE my installation tool, excellent for cabinetry
I just need something to drill bmw crankshafts not supposed to put much pressure just needs to be small
👍
Ok and this is why I say do not buy brushed tools the HP Ryobi is top of the line brushless and will be you're best bet this why I say not every brand makes the best of everything!! First don't buy non fuel Milwaukee second never buy brushed tools you can upgrade to brushless for sometimes less jumping to another platform. This is why I'm in every platform.
Yep every brand has studs and duds! I get why a lot of people can’t do every platform due to logistics but running multiple platforms enables you to avoid stuff like this
@@BitnerBuilt yes sir and I'm super excited to see you pointing ☝️ out flaws with tools like Milwaukee as a major player but it's not just Milwaukee it's DeWalt Makita... Thank you sir and keep up the hard work!!!
@@TacticalThib oh definitely! Will call ‘em like I see ‘em
I don't have one. But... Did you buy this tool expecting to build decks or drill concrete? It appears to be a light duty, short angle, quick out drill/driver. Not an impact tool. Probably made for form factor. Buy a surge if you have the room to carry it. IMO adapters are for emergencies or transitions.
Not at all what I was expecting to do with it, for me, it would be used in doing cabinetry. But the second I picked it up I knew that it was the weakest tool I had tried in years. I talked with my local Milwaukee rep and he agreed with me to 🤷
I agree.
I own one, and it's a piece of crap.
2/5 is very generous 😆
Lol
these little right angle drills and right angle impacts need upgrading badly . why are they not brushless ,why are the major suppliers still not addressing these wimpy products .
I’m gonna guess the sales on them are pretty low, I love Milwaukee tools, but this one was definitely not one of their best
hello makita brethren 🤣 , I do also own Milwaukee m12 tools. I do like the light weight, but I can't love the handles on the drills
Yep trade offs, I’m not a fan of the battery clips, worst design out there but I do love the tools and their weight. Honestly, the M 12 oscillating tool is the best one out there. I immediately sold my 18v Makita soon as I bought it.
@@BitnerBuilt this is funny because it's true, i did exactly the same with the multi tool....the newest makita multi tool is nice, but too bulky and used specific blades.
