Description of Milwaukee 0522-25 18 Volt 1/2-Inch Driver/Drill 0-450/1500 RPM, T-Handle, Two Batteries, Charger, Work Light & CaseThe 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: 400 inch-pounds of torque) when driving screws and high gear for more speed when drilling. There are also 20 different super precise 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 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 professional-grade cordless drill that contractors, carpenters, and remodelers are sure to love. Excellent work, Milwaukee. --Dori Anvinson
Tools and Hardware Reviews of Milwaukee 0522-25 18 Volt 1/2-Inch Driver/Drill 0-450/1500 RPM, T-Handle, Two Batteries, Charger, Work Light & CaseCustomer Review: Best drill of its kind on the market Summary: 5 Stars
I am in the process of building a house (mostly by myself) and wanted to purchase a high quality cordless drill for the countless projects I would be doing through the course of the building process. My father is a retired plumber who always sweared by his Milwaukee tools. This was the primary reason for my original choice of Milwaukee products. After months of hard use I have no regrets for the purchase. I have used it as a nut driver when assembling and installing garage doors, a drill for the countless holes needed to install the electrical system and to drive over 1800 screws for the undermount attachment system for my deck just to name a few. In all cases the drills performace was flawless. When doing the deck I was able to do over 500 screws before I needed switch batteries. As a nut driver the position of the switch for forward and reverse was excellent. The ability to change the speed range was also a nice feature.I would not trade this drill for anything. But, I do have a few suggestions/wishes for design changes/options for the drill in the future: 1. It would be nice if it were possible to purchase the drill with a keyed chuck. I am generally happy with the keyless but there have been times I wished I could have gotten the bit a litter tighter in the chuck. 2. It would be nice if the case has a bit more storage space for things such as nut driver adapters, etc. Maybe they could mold a small compartment into the case or change to a metal case the would allow more storage. 3. The plastic hook on the flashlight is a joke. It hardly supports the weight of the flashlight. I did not hang it by the hook when I used it because I thought it would break or deform in shape to a point that the flashlight fell. A metal hook would be much better.
