Milwaukee 2611-24 User Reviews:

  • Overall User Rating - 4.0 of 5 Stars

  • Favorable Reviews - 4

  • Critical Reviews - 2

  • I owned the V28 drill prior to this one and I must say the M18 has it beat hands down! I use uni-bits or step bits often and this drill chews through metal like no other drill I have owned.

  • This is an excellent product that displays a great amount of toque to get the job done.

  • First, I'll state that the drill itself, along with the M18 batteries, are great. If it wasn't for Milwaukee's poor service, this would be a 5 star rating.

  • While Milwaukee's V18 3.0 Lith Ion battery is GREAT and works with all the 18 v NiCad tools we all have, theses XC and compact 18v lith ion batteries ONLY FIT NEWER TOOLS

  • I own a sewer and water excavating company...so we have a lot of experience with corded/cordless tools of many brands. Hilti, Bosch, Dewalt, Makita. After owning several Milwaukee drills including the previous V18 hammerdrill, 14.4v drill, and M12 compact driver this drill takes it all.
