You'll love this drill. great power and speed control. excellent for big or small projects.
I purchased a replacement drill with the new handle configuration and it just didn't hold up.The drill is now dangerous to use without a handle and it is such a hassle to get a replacement.I'm looking for a new brand. I am in the trades and have owned the 1/2 inch magnum drills for years without to many problems except the notorious switch problem milwaukee has. The drills have lasted for years and have always had plenty of power and durability.
This is one incredible tool. It will stir a paddle bit in drywall mud and drive up to a 2 and 9/16ths self feed bit. It has driven 4 inch long 3/8ths lag screws without a problem.
This drill came out head and shoulders above the offerings from hitatchi, makita, dewalt, portercable and bosch. I picked this drill up at the home depot during a tool trade in promotion(traded in an old single speed metal bodied black and decker 3/8th drill). I bought this drill based on a tool shootout of high amperage 1/2 inch drills in tools of the trade magazine.
I have been so impressed at the capabilities of this drill. I will be replacing the keyed chuck with a keyless though. The highlights of this drill are gobs of torque(It will twist your arm if you are not careful).
solid yet lightweight construction, a long, heavy gauge ruber 3 prong cord, a heavy duty keyed chuck.
It also offers very smooth easy to control variable speed trigger. I bough tthis drill and it is great. Milwaukee will sell you one but I would rather make my own than pay that much for a box. The only thing I was disappionted in was that I like having cases for my tools and this one didn't come with one. The torque is enough for any job you will run into for a hand drill. It runs 2-1/2" forestner bits without any difficulty.
