Drill Rocks [Posted on 2005-06-06]
The 302's long fault is that it needs a cord.
I have had this drill for 3 years and I don't use it much.
I use my cordless drills including my powerful Dewalt 988.
Today I used a 3 in holesaw to drill thru a 2 by 4,once I used the Dewalt,It struggled but drilled the hole. Then I used the
Milwalkee 302,it drilled It with ease and didn't even slow down.
I was very impressed.I will use the Milwaukee for the really heavy drilling from now on.I will use the cordless drills for
light to fairly heavy use (about 95% of the time). Why put unneeded strain on a good cordless drill?
If you are looking to buy a strong corded drill,look at Milwaukee first.
BROKE MY WRIST! [Posted on 2005-11-02]
POWER is the word! I was on a ladder drilling with a 4" hole saw overhead. You can see where this is leading. Use to wimpy 18 volt guns I was 1 handing it when hole saw hooked up and stopped! My new magnum however kept on turning. I hung on for 1 turn and got clobbered on the following 2! I love my drill! It broke my wrist and I still say it's the best! It's the Top-Fueler's of screw guns.
You CAN'T Do Better! [Posted on 2006-05-26]
If you can deal with a cord, you can't do better than this drill. It's very impressive. Amazon is selling them a little high, so check around. I got mine on ebay for $80 brand new.
Buy this one [Posted on 2006-12-31]
One definition of an expert is someone that makes what he does look simple and easy. This drill does exactly that. Plenty of power whether you're drilling into concrete or wood. It is deceptively light and slim and easy to hold and use. Very satisfied and highly recommended. My only gripe is that it does not come with a case. What's up with that Milwaukee? A simple plastic case wouldn't cut into your price point. Still it's a 5 star product.
Follow up: I mostly use my incredible Panasonic cordless drill and reserve this one for when I need a more aggressive bite. I like Milwaukee tools, but am sorry to report that after minimal use, the clutch in this seems to be fouled up already! I imagine it's still under warranty, but how a clutch can break after such light use makes me change my recommendation and discourage anyone interested from buying this drill. Now I'll see how good their customer service is and will report back later.
Great Tool [Posted on 2007-06-03]
The other reviewers have given a thorough appraisal of the product so I won't go into the details. But if I could I would give this a 6. Its the best non-battery drill I have. The power is unbelievable and the drill has lots of little features that make it a joy to use.
I also have a Milwaukee router that I equally love to work with because it is so well designed and the workmanship is far better than anything else I have seen, just like on the drill (you know thats not going to last if the bean-counters take control). I have Porter Cable and Delta tools and I wont ever buy those brands of tools again because they fall apart, are poorly designed and made,and work poorly as well.
After you own a Milwaukee tool (at least the drill and router)you won't ever go back to Porter Cable. I gave my Porter Cable 690 router to an acquaintance (I wouldn't do that to a friend).
