Description of Milwaukee 0524-24 18 Volt 1/2-Inch T-Handle Hammer-Drill 0-500/1600 RPM with Two Batteries, Charger, and Case
The first thing one notices about this hammer drill is the reversible battery--a feature unique to Milwaukee drills and one that comes in handy when working in tight spots. The tool's balance feels good with the battery attached either way, although--oddly enough--we found the reverse battery configuration a little better than the normal configuration. One possible drawback to the reversible battery is that the contacts for the unused configuration are exposed, and may attract dirt if the tool is dropped in the mud or on the floor of a messy job site. The need to occasionally clean contacts, however, struck us as a small price to pay for the added versatility a reversible battery system affords. The hammer drill has two speed ranges, from 0 to 500 rpm and 0 to 1,600 rpm, and the hammer action produces 20,800 beats per minute. The five-planet gearing system delivers high-torque performance, as well as transmission durability with 20 clutch positions. You can choose between drill-only mode and hammer-only mode. The hammer drill comes with two 2.4 amp batteries, a one-hour charger, and a rugged carrying case. --Brian TrinenTools and Hardware Reviews of Milwaukee 0524-24 18 Volt 1/2-Inch T-Handle Hammer-Drill 0-500/1600 RPM with Two Batteries, Charger, and Case
Customer Review: This is THE drill to have
Summary: 5 Stars
As you may have read in some of my other reviews, I used to be a DeWalt user. Keywords USED TO BE. Well, once again, I replaced my 18 Volt DeWalt hammer drill with this Milwaukee. Because once again, the DeWalt fizzled out in the middle of a job in the middle of Alaska. There are no hardware stores or repair facilities in the remote areas of this state. We have to fly to most of our jobs, so the tools you bring with you are the tools you have to depend heavily on, and DeWalt couldn't make the grade. Between all the recalls of the batteries and chargers and the outright tool failures, I have converted all my tools to Milwaukee. Now that I have that off my chest, let me tell you a little about this drill. First of all, the reversible battery is an absolute must have, this option will save you a ton of grief, and not to mention wrist strain if working overhead. The 20 position clutch works perfectly, you set it to run drywall screws so you don't run through the paper, perfect every time. The hammering mechanism is also top notch, with 20,800 bpm, it has plenty of punch to get through the concrete, and also is great when setting tapcons. I'm also impressed with the 2.4 amp-hour batteries, they provide for alot of power for a long time. I now own 5 Milwaukee cordless tools, and I (as well as my crew) can't say enough about them, ZERO failures with very heavy use in some very harsh arctic conditions. You can't ask for much more.
