  • I like the drill. I would like longer battery life.
  • It has been dropped more times than I can remember and still works. It has great torque and the batteries charge quickly.
  • I bought this for my boyfriend who is a sub-contractor and Mr. Fix-It around the house. He loves it!
  • I've used many brands of drills over the years and this is the best I've had. It has a comfortable grip, good balance, lots of power
  • The drill has always worked well, with good power, weight, and strength.
  • Nothing stops it, nothing hurts it, nothing beats it. The batteries are more than enough for my woodworking shop and recharge faster than I can drain them.
  • I find it to be an excellent tool. It has the same solid feel, good trigger control and one-handed chuck that made the Bosch such a good tool.
  • I has plenty of power and seems well constructed. I'm just disappointed in the battery life.
  • You will not be disappointed with this driver drill. Be careful though it has enough torque to twist your arm off
  • The drill itself has plenty of power and feels just slightly less than a Dewalt 18V drill in weight. Chuck is great.
  • Three months after I purchase this drill I sent it back to milwaukee to be fixed. six months after that the battery died
  • This is by far the best 14.4v drill on the market. It is quite heavy duty, compared to any other in it's class. The power is impressive.
  • The fact that you can reverse the battery is sweet. Excellent balance. Nice case. Plenty of power.
  • Very well built drill, with good features. This drill has plenty of torque for most screw driving. Clip-Loc is very handy and well designed. This comes highly recommended!!
  • This drill is wonderful for a 14.4V. Well designed and functions as well as every Milwaukee tool I own. Five year warranty is very nice as well.
  • In the little time I have had it, it works wonderfully. Great drill if you want a really good one.
  • I can't say enough good things about this drill - it really is above and beyond everything I've experienced
