Tools and Hardware Reviews of Milwaukee 2691-22 18-Volt Compact Drill and Impact Driver Combo Kit

Customer Review: Beautiful, High Quality Drill/Impact Driver Kit
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a nice, high quality product. I don't know if all parts are MADE IN THE USA, but the quality sure looks like it is.

First off, the case. It is strong built to support the weight of both drivers. You think this is a dumb observation? Just look at the MADE IN CHINA products and check their casing. You can even tell by just looking at the coloring for crying out loud. This case, however, is strong with a nice crimson red color, not a faded red which I've seen in many a product I've bought over the years.

Second, each item (Drill/Driver, Compact Impact Driver, and Battery Base) has its instruction manual in English, Spanish, and French. The folks over at Milwaukee Tool had the class to place Spanish on its outter casing markings second. This is a common sense touch, as a vast many more people speak Spanish than they do French. I have nothing against the French, it's just a matter of fact.

Just when you open the box where the product ships in, you'll see it for yourself. I thought long and hard before buying this product, as the cheapest was not the price I got it at, but the cheapest also had a high S&H charge, which I though needless to pay, as I have a prime membership at Amazon.com I wanted to take advantage of. I'm already NOT regreting it. This is true quality. Milwaukee really stands out with the best; that is, Hilti, watch out!

The drills look small, but feel really heavy, which most likely give the torque advertised amply in Amazon.com and the manufacturer's site as well.

I hope to be writing a review after using them, as I have several more products to review, and it's 20:29 hrs of Dec 4, 2010. I won't be going out in the cold to try them out just yet.

Oh, before I forget, I did get a chance to try out the light on the Compact Impact Driver. It's a white light and it encompasses a large radius, much larger and clearer than the blue dot the Black and Decker LI4000 drill features. I know, because I happen to have the LI4000 B&D driver, which I also got at Amazon.com Black & Decker LI4000 3.6-Volt Lithium-Ion Smart Select with Exclusive Magnetic Screw Holder; nevertheless, the blue light works better in daylight.

Stay tuned...

Finally got a chance to try these drills out. They are amazing. The torque power on the compact drill is amazing! The variable speed comes in very handy, as the drill has the power to drive screws, but the screw may be hard to screw in, so a more steady and slow motion is convenient. Here also did I find out what the two speeds of the drill are for. The number 1 speed is slower, but has more torque (more powerful). The number 2 speed is a quicker speed for speedier driving/drilling when resistance is low, among other applications depending on the job. The drill, however, does lose power when battery is low. It does not go dead all of a sudden, like I've read in other reviews. Battery charged in an hour, and drill was good to go at full power and torque.

About the impact driver, what can I say? It does the job very nicely. I was changing an exterior light and the old screw was hard to take out. I used to take out these rusted screws with some vice wrench and twist until the thing would come out, but this would take several minutes per screw. I used the impact driver and it pulled out the screw with no trouble at all in a snap, of course, holding the impact driver at the right angle! Note also this tool comes with variable speed on the trigger for slower driving where needed.

The fact that these drills are cordless is ideal for electritians. You may owe a corded drill, but if you're working on receptacles and charges where you must turn down power, you need a very long extension. These cordless drills more than make up for this fact in convenience and time saving.

What can I say? As price is fluctuating between 224 and 300+, get it while it's at a good price. I highly recommend these tools as stand alone or in this combo kit.

As comparison against Makita, Milwaukee has a 5 year warranty on their products, against 3 Makita offers. About quality, I don't know much. I've never owned anything Makita brand.

I'm very pleased with this purchase and would advise any pro or home owner to own these particular tools.
