I don't think I ever smiled the first time I used a power tool prior to the Magnum. WOW. It sliced through 1/8 inches of steel with a 1/2 inch bit in about three minutes. If the longevity is as good as what other reviews have reported I will have this wonderful tool for a lifetime.

When I went looking for a 1/2 inch drill to mix thin-set mortar I mistakenly bought a mikita and was stuck with a one speed drill. So many mixes require a slow speed mix that i had to look for a variable speed drill. The Milwaukee fit the bill. Its rugged construction and durability allow it to slow speed mixes without burning up brushes and stands up to the rigors of the jobsite.

Was looking for a corded 1/2" drill to support my cordless drill. This drill is perfect in a LOW cost HIGH value package. Always liked the Milwaukee brand and this drill is built very well and definitely lives up to the reputation! Would highly recommend this product to others looking for a good 1/2" drill for their toolbox!
The best drill I have ever used [Posted on 2008-03-08]
This is the best drill I have ever used. It is incredibly powerful and will drive large bits and hole saws with ease (Be sure to use the side handle and hold on tight or it can twist your arm if the bit binds). It will drive an auger bit through a 12 inch barn beam often in one try. Also great for driving long screws. The limited speed compared to many other drill makes it work better and makes it easier to control. Great for everything except drilling in concrete or masonry (you need a hammer drill for this). Highly reccomended
plan on having this for a long time... [Posted on 2008-05-15]
So far, the two Milwaukee tools I have purchased (the 12v compact driver as well as this drill) have impressed me. The things that have impressed me most of all have been the trigger control, although the power and solid feel are right up there.
I really value a drill/driver that I can fine-tune the controls to the point that I can use it as a ratchet with the trigger. The magnum does that very well, with plenty of power to spare on tap if I just squeeze.
The magnum is quite heavy, but it has an all-metal gear housing as well as a very solid 1/2" chuck...I don't mind it because it isn't a cordless tool and cordless are the only tools I really care about being really light.
