Included with the drill kit is a soft case that does a good job of securing and protecting the tool and charger. The battery can of course be used with Milwaukee’s other M12 tools, and includes quite a few protective features in case of overloading or high temperatures.įor those wondering why the kit only includes one battery and not two, consider that this drill is not exactly a “core” tool and that it will typically be used in conjunction with a pistol-grip drill or driver, M12 or otherwise. In our experience, the charger was true to its 30-minute claims. Battery and ChargerĪ single M12 battery and a 30-minute charger are included with the M12 right-angle drill kit. When the battery needs to be recharged, one light will flash for 2-3 seconds as the trigger is pulled. When the torque output for a given clutch setting is reached, the torque LED will flash red, and releasing the paddle switch will reset the circuit.Īt the rear of the tool near the battery is an LED fuel gauge. LEDsĪt the front of the drill, just below the chuck, there are two LEDs – a white illumination LED, and a torque LED. The drill is designed to be used in tight work areas, so it is reassuring to find that it was easy to grip even with the most awkward of hand positions. Even after extended drilling and driving until the battery gave out, our hands were in good shape. While not overly spectacular or extraordinary, the molded and textured grip make the drill very comfortable to hold. On the back of the drill, a knobby clutch adjust wheel is easy to adjust, and has 11 settings plus a drilling mode. During the drill’s operation, an LED will indicate when the set torque is reached as the clutch slips and the motor stops. Just below it, the control toggle switch is also easy to reach and engage, and has the expected forward, reverse, and center locking positions. The variable speed control paddle switch works well and is comfortable to reach from various grips. Paddle Switch, Control Switch, and Adjustable Clutch The single-sleeve ratcheting chuck lets you really clamp down onto bits, and feels remarkably secure. As the chuck is tightened and the jaws close in on a bit, a very satisfying “click” can be heard and felt as the ratcheting mechanism engages, followed by the reassuring sound of the ratcheting action. Single-Sleeve Ratcheting Chuckįeaturing a 3/8″ chuck, the drill/driver can securely grasp both drill bits and 1/4″ hex power screwdriving bits. With its textured and soft rubbery grip, the drill feels quite comfortable in our hands. All switches, moving parts, and features have a feel and build quality that all professional tools should have. The size of the drill is as we expected, but it is far easier to grasp than had been anticipated. This is not a bad thing, just an observation. To start, the drill is slightly heavier than we had expected. Milwaukee’s new offering is no exception, with a very short head height of 3 3/4″.Īlso packed into its compact body, Milwaukee’s newest 12V drill has a 3/8″ single-sleeve ratcheting chuck, extended paddle switch, 11 setting electronic clutch, illumination and clutch-out warning LEDs, and a battery fuel gauge.
