Excellent quality, very durable, and has plenty of power. Comes with two batteries, and lasts a long time on a charge.
this is a super product. I've wanted one for years to use with my reloading equipment...this one is the real McCoy!!! Worked all day on one battery. Good size and very good price.
It's strong enough to drive a 1 ½ inch dry wall screw into oak (if you need to) yet delicate enough to attach wire to an outlet. The batteries last and last - and recharge quickly. Very well made - I just love it.
Handy, but not much power & RPM is low even at "high" speed.
Solid feeling construction, well designed, simple operation, surprising power and overall a very high feeling of quality.
Realy good screwdriver well worth the money holds a charge for ages and charge is strong all the way till the end
Best driver I ever seen for my job.
Best of all for those who are considering it for use in a woodshop or on a construction job, it has enough torque to handle screwing into hardwoods.
All-in-all, it's a fine tool to have around the house or garage. The battery life is excellent. It comes with the famous Milwaukee 5-year warranty.
I'M AN ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR...IT WORKS EXCELLENT FOR INSTALLING RECEPTICALS AND SWITCHES AND COVER PLATES, IT'S USEFUL TIME IS IMPRESSIVE...BEST TOOL FOR THE PRICE.
I've owned a couple of different power screwdrivers, and never bought a "high end" brand before, mostly because of the cost. This Milwaukee model is well worth it.
All you have to do is use the clutch one time and you know this is a quality tool.
I'll rate it 4 stars, it has good power, comfortable grip, and long lasting battery life.
Great compact screwdriver
This is a well designed tool. It has lots of power, the battery last a long time, it has a 2nd battery and it only takes an hour to charge it.
Good battery life, well balanced, adequate power, feels good in the hand - I like it.
if i can rate it more than five stars i will, this is a perfect screw driver
I do a lot of computer repair and I used to charge a lot the skill battery but with this tool I can go hours without even touch the other battery.
I purchased this tool to do electrical work...I've had another brand before but nothing like this. The torque cut-off is great. No more broken plugs from over tightening. The battery last and last
This is a very nice cordless screwdriver. It's smaller than most others and seems to be of VERY high quality like most Milwaukee tools
This is my favorite tool I have ever purchased. I am a computer technician and I rebuild a lot of laptops.
This is the best power tool I've ever purchased. The battery lasts a very long time between charges. I recommend this heartily to anyone needing a powerful cordless screwdriver.
It's fast on the high setting and the clutch works very well. Battery lasts a good while as well. I've owned several powered screwdrivers over the years and this one is definitely the best.
