  • This tool is not a wimp, it is designed to work, is heavy but delivers.
  • This drill has amazed me time and time again. I am an electrician and have used and abused this drill in almost every way possible. I have drilled through 8" of solid wood with a 1" nail-eater. I have used this drill to make high hat cut outs in plaster and wood lathe with a 6" carbide holesaw!
  • I had to drill six additional holes in 4" concrete around a foundation to pour termite treatment. Attaching a new 18" carbide masonery bit to this brilliant tool right out of the box and starting to drill was like driving a new red Ferrai off the showroom floor
  • This is far and away the best one I've used yet. It's no heavier than its 18-volt siblings, with twice the battery life.
  • At 600 pounds of torque and 1800 RPM this baby makes quick work out of any project. It is a heavy bugger, so you if you're a pansy don't even pick it up.
  • I have had 8 of these batteries fail, all so far have been replaced under warrenty,
  • This drill is powerful! I like it because it can handle just about anything, and the battery lasts forever.
  • I'm a commercial electrician and use this drill daily. Sometime for hours at a time. It has a ton of power. So much in fact it will darn near break your wrist
  • Absolutely incredible. I highly recommend this tool to anyone who will listen to me.
  • A great product to use, lives up to it's reputation as being the best drill on the market. Extremely satisfied with this product.
  • I used the 28volt for the first month and it was fine but after that the charger stopped working and the batteries together stopped holding the charge.
  • this drill has the power I need to drive large drill bits/ 2 9/16 and the large timberlock screws we have to use every day it holds up to daily hard use.
  • Batteries go forever it seems. Hammer mode works great without tearing your arms and shoulders out of socket...Tremendous torque in both speeds. The high speed will almost rip your arms off if you aren't careful.
  • Most powerful, longest-lasting charge, of any cordless hammer drill/driver,
  • I The Milwaukee V28 tools are incredible. I'm the superintendent of a mechanical company and I've easily invested 10K on these gems over the past year.
  • I could literally type up a book on this drill. It is by far the best cordless drill I have ever seen.
  • Drill is a little on the expensive side but it is worth every penny. I have been using this drill for about 2 months now and am very happy it.
  • I am a commercial glazier(Aluminum and glass) and so far so great. I really like the feel, speed, and torque.
