Re: Milwaukee Drills and Stuff Milwaukee used to be good (have a classic reciprocating saw from them), but like Porter Cable have fallen down in recent years. I find it harder to get tools now than I used to, especially tools people don't use much anymore like good jig saws, table saws, and planers. |

No problems today. The drill functioned flawlessly. |

The V28/M28 stuff is industrial compared to the 18 volt residential Milwaukee tools. Apples and oranges, no comparison.. |

kudos:4 | I've had 18V Milwaukee from well before the 28 stuff was out. Awesome tools. But they were also made in America ones (prior to TTI buying them out). But still, the Milwaukee stuff gets my nod as to best. I have an 18V hammer drill, circular saw and Sawzall. Both have seen a lot of hard use over the years. Never a problem. |

I have been using an 18v cordless Dewalt hammer drill on a daily basis for years and have been very happy. I have dropped it many times from an extension ladder and it still keeps on going. I routinely use a 7/8" auger bit to drill holes and it does the job like a champ, my drill has three gears and I do have to put it in low gear for the 7/8" auger bit. I recently upgraded my existing drill to lithium batteries without a problem, the lithium charger will even charge my old ni-cad batteries. For serious drilling in concrete I always use my corded Hilti whenever possible but I have been very happy with my Dewalt and would buy another one. |
