M18 18 V Lithium-Ion Cordless Right-Angle Drill - Tool Only

I am an electrician , and this is not one of milwaukee's best offerings. the lack of power to turn a 7/8" paddle bit through one 2x4 is unacceptable to me , if you are a cabinet guy you are probably going to use the m12 version so why the m18 lacks basic drilling power is beyond me. mine finally died after six years and I replaced it with a rigid brushless model, much better. I am hoping milwaukee comes out with a brushless model that is more powerfull as the one orange tool in my packout kinda clashes with all of the milwaukee red . I am not disappointed with milwaukee very often but i would not recomend this tool. Check out the new milwaukee neck light though it is awsome.

This is a close quarter drill for tight spaces, not a general rough-in tool for tradesmen. Works great to get into tight spaces as it was designed. It isn't a high torque tool. The Hole Hawg and Super Hawg (which I own) are for rough in work. Self feed spade bits are trendy right now but they require much more torque than regular spades that you can control the feed rate with. This is the right tool when normal drill drivers won't fit in the space. Works great for that. I've used it and the M12 version(which I own) numerous times with a hole saw to cut both wood and 1/4 in mild steel. Took longer with this than the normally used tools, but it got the job done when others couldn't even get in there. Great tool.

Just bought this, and it's a good tool at best. It's not fuel. It will drill through heavy steel where I can't get a regular drill in to drill. It has a power level adjuster which at full power doesn't put out an Impressive amount of power, but it puts out enough to drill through what it needs to, and also it does preserve the battery life a little .ore because of that, but it is still a little too slow, I'd like another 25 percent more speed the power levels fine at max power.it also is t a fuel tool.

Bought this specifically to replace my right angle air drill, which is mainly used for drilling out broken bolts in areas with limited access. It works great, and is easier to control and maneuver since there’s no cumbersome air hose to wrangle. My only suggestion for improvement would be to incorporate forward and reverse in the paddle switch, rather than using a second, separate switch.

This drill is rated to drilling 1" hole in wood - max. However even with a brand new self feed Bosh 1" spade bit, the drill torques out and stops multiple times in drilling a single hole through 1 1/2" lumber. If it can't be used for running plumbing and electrical in a stud wall, then of what use it is?

Great tool! Gets into the tight spaces my traditional drill won’t and has enough power to easily cut holes in sheet metal with an adjustable hole cutter. As well it’s m-18 so the battery life is amazing and that’s the platform I run so no need to have another charger for a different style battery.

Purchased for drilling into panels with limited space. Works fine but the drill could use more power and improved throttle control. Also the chuck is rather small to accommodate holesaw arbors. For a tool that has been around a while it's a surprise Milwaukee hasn't developed a brushless version.

Great drill and convenient for tight spaces. Unfortunately the chuck has sliced my coworkers and my hand on multiple occasions while tightening down the bit. This is the only drill in my Milwaukee collection that I’ve had this problem with.
