Customer Review: Powerful drill
Summary: 5 Stars
I really like this drill. After a couple of months of reading reviews about a few of the other Milwaukee drills I decided to purchase this one. The one thing that really helped me to decide is that this drill is almost identical to my Milwaukee 3/8 inch drill. My 3/8 inch drill has been a workhorse around the house.
I do not know for sure but this 1/2 inch drill seems to have a slightly lower gearing ratio than the 3/8 inch version with definitely a lot more torque. I would agree with several other reviewers that the screw-in-the-housing-type of second handle is the better way to go vs. the clamp-on version. It is just simply stronger.
This drill also has the cartridge type brush system if one would ever need to change those out. Simply unscrew the small side panel and the brushes can be replaced. I will not need to do this for several years down the road but whatever makes the task easier I am all for it.
Last two items: the cord is the Quik Lock type that detaches from the drill (approx. 1 turn) and the keyless chuck has been a definite time saver. I love the keyless chucks. I have drilled into metal, wood, plastic, and concrete without the bit ever loosening - granted I do a double tightening check before I drill into anything other than wood.
In summary, do not let the lower amp rating fool you into thinking that this drill is weak. It is anything but weak. I compared this to my 5 year old 7.5 amp Craftsman Professional hammer drill. This drill has as much as or even more torque than the Craftsman.
