(More customer reviews)Background - I own a sewer and water excavating company that gets into some building and concrete work as well so we have a lot of experience with corded/cordless tools of many brands.Hilti, Bosch, Dewalt, Makita.
After owning several Milwaukee drills including the previous V18 hammerdrill, 14.4v drill, and M12 compact driver this drill takes it all.This is just a initial review of my thoughts, its only been in the shop now for a week.It seems more akin to a corded drill than a cordless.I had a bit catch in some steel in first gear and the drill just about took my arm with it.The V18 could do a similar feat.Its overall feel is very good.It fits well, balanced well, fine and responsive and of course, incredible power.Its comparable in weight and size to the compact 14.4v milwaukee drill which has served me well reliably here and overseas.
I would give it an overwhelming 5 stars if not for the strange handlebar accessory that mounts using two jaws instead of a band like most others that squeezes around the gearcase.The handlebar in my experience never gets used anyways.It has the ability to have a belt hook and bit holder mounted by the battery at the bottom of the grip like the compact M18 driver/drill (2601-22), there is a mounting space and screw hole for them.But it doesn't come with it.Why after this price tag they didn't include them eludes me.
Its case is rugged with some softer black rubber for grip and fall protection.The batteries and charger also have rubber corners on them.The light is a nice feature but is essentially standard on new tools.The new style battery is smaller than the V18 and slides on and off better than the V18 battery.If you want an around the house drill get the compact 2601-22 but if you need something on the professional scale this drill is a no-brainer.Milwaukee is discontinuing their V18 line and this M18 is the future along with several new tools in the plans including a grinder and jigsaw this winter.
