Description of Milwaukee 0512-25 14.4 Volt 1/2-Inch Drill Kit with FlashlightightThe Power Plus battery pack is one of the highlights of Milwaukee's 14.4-volt cordless drill. The battery is reversible, which helps balance the tool for the user and also makes it easier to get into tight spots. The adjustable clutch is easy to use and gives you two speed ranges to choose from: low gear for more power (maximum: 280 in./lb. of torque) when driving screws and high gear for more speed when drilling. There are also 19 different superprecise clutch positions--so you can match the torque to the application, minimizing the risk of stripping screws or breaking off heads. The thin, soft-grip handle seems to absorb some of the vibrations, making the drill comfortable both to hold and use. The 1/2-inch keyless chuck is a bonus feature, holding a larger bit than most of the 3/8-inch competition in the 14.4 market. The forward/reverse function takes some getting used to: it's a switch, as opposed to the more common two-sided buttons you find on most other brands, and, depending on hand size, can be a bit tricky to reach with your trigger hand. The kit also includes a handy light with a flexible head, so in the odd case you have to work in the dark, you've got a good light to take with you. This is a great tool for either the professional or the serious do-it-yourselfer. Excellent work, Milwaukee. --Dori Anvinson
Tools and Hardware Reviews of Milwaukee 0512-25 14.4 Volt 1/2-Inch Drill Kit with FlashlightightCustomer Review: Lifetime warranty--what more could you ask for? Summary: 5 Stars
Everybody has their likes and dislikes--no two people will ever agree on everything. As with most everything, a cordless driver/drill comes down to four things: 1) comfort, 2) performance, 3) price, and 4) warranty. The first three things on the list you have to decide for yourself--what feels best in your hand, what works the way you want to work, and what sells for what you care to spend. Like you, I can't afford to buy anything twice--sometimes I can't afford to buy it even once. I'm not rich enough to buy junk that needs to be replaced on a regular basis. When I buy a tool, I need to know that I'll never have to buy another one of them again. I buy Milwaukee so I won't have to.If you're a homeowner, an 18 volt drill is too big. It's heavy, awkward, and expensive. It'll twist the head off a giant lag bolt--but so what? Why would you ever want to? Most 14.4 volt drills fall in the same category. The 0512 is more like a 12 volt than a 14.4. Similar in torque, weight, feel, and all those things you love in a 12 volt drill. It comes in under 4 pounds, which makes a big difference when you are on a ladder 17 feet up, swaying in the breeze, and reaching for that last screw on the shutters. Hold a 5 pound bag of flour out at arm's length and see how it feels after a couple minutes.
