Customer Reviews:

First choice for general-purpose drilling. [Posted on 2000-11-08]
We now have three of these in the company tool-box, and they all get used on a daily basis. An exceptional combination of power and features (keyless chuck that really works, variable speed, high and low speed ranges, reverse, drill only, hammer/drill, and a detachable cord for convenience) have made these the only corded-drills we now use. The only draw-back to be found is the rather inconvenient lock-on button, which is rather difficult to access at times. Being the only negative point, we all fell that this is a small issue, indeed! Highly recommended, and once used, highly apprecciated.

I got the lemon and warranty service difficult [Posted on 2002-01-04]
My magnum was hardly used in the 6 months that I've owned it. Hi-Low switch only drives drill when on Hi. Keyless chuck requires a gorilla to tighten bits. During light drilling of softwood, something snapped inside and the motor froze. Obviously something is critically wrong, so maybe I've got the lemon. The local authorized dealer (referred to by corporate offices) claimed to be too busy with their rental service to repair the drill, and they wanted me to pay the shipping to have it serviced at another center which had no telephone or other contact. Corporate offices were business like and rude.

What was I thinking? [Posted on 2002-07-19]
I am a DIYer out of the home that needed a hammerdrill for projects in my basement and brick exterior. I bought this as I thought Milwaukee was "THE" tool company. My friend was helping with some tapcon anchors in the basement and was using my very expensive hammerdrill. He criticized it's lack of power and laughed a bit. Came back a few minutes later with a Dewalt hammerdrill. Big difference - much lighter, faster and it doesn;t look so archaic. I returned the milwaukee and just borrow my friends drill now. I did some checking - the Dewalt is cheaper anyways.

Great [Posted on 2004-03-24]
I have used this drill on numerous occations and have yet to be discoraged with it's preformance. It is a small yet sturdy drill for: wood, brick, block, and metal. My employer supplies this drill to my coworkers also. I would buy this drill for at home use due to it's many applications.

poor chuck [Posted on 2004-11-29]
I found that the chuck loosens itself during hammer drill operation, requiring frequent retightening. Personally, I would say the keyless chuck is not worth the extra money. The drill itself seems fine, and I wish I had the normal chuck.
