Just picked it up today, very nice.You aren’t gonna find this drill for $99.00 unless you are buying just the drill or it’s used. I got the Drill 2 batteries and the charger for $170.00.
@@KevinHPhotography depends what one you bought. They have 3 different compacts and non brushless. You probably got the regular motor and the heavy one.
@@Mikesmeyer88 I got the Model# 2801-21P. It is currently on $99 at Home Depot. Is a brushless cordless Drill + 2.0 aH Battery. Is this one the heavy one you’re talking about? It is lighter than the Milwaukee Impact Driver I have
I just bought the M18 MILWAUKEE 2802 and comparing it with another that I have the Brushless 1/2 Makita 18v Dhp485sye, the MILWAUKEE 2802 is louder, the motor whistles, it heats up more, the battery does not fit at all, the charger seems iron but as a positive point It has a better chuck of a drill, it feels powerful, 5-year warranty, it looks well manufactured. Between MILWAUKEE and Makita the power seems similar, at the moment I prefer the makita since the motor is quieter, the motor and charger hardly get hot, time will tell if the heating in the MILWAUKEE is a problem or not. It has cost me $ 3700 Mexican pesos, winning the makita for $ 250 pesos less. I hope my comments contribute something positive to your purchases.

Thanks Steve, nice review. Would have been even better with a little more detail on how much work you can do with a full 2Ah charge and on how well the drill work driving screws at low speed / torque, useful for someone who might buy just the drill and use it for everything.
Thanks for the feedback! I was planning on doing a battery test, but unfortunately I don’t have the wood to do so. As for driving screws at low speed, with 550 in-lb of torque it’s certainly quite capable. I just ran outside and it had no issues driving a two inch deck screw even in speed 2. That said, once you get into those higher torque applications you’ll really want an impact driver, as you generally will start getting issues with bit cam-out and twisting your wrist long before you hit the max torque of the drill. Hope this helps!
@@Stevepilot a while ago I found a video review of another 18v drill (can't remember the brand or model) which was not very easy to use at low speed when driving small screws, not for a lack of power but because the trigger was not very precise and was quite easy to damage the workpiece sinking the screws too deep... Wasn't easy to keep a low constant speed i guess...
Awesome review! I see you also reviewed the Kobalt drill driver, between the two, which would you recommend for a DIYer? I'm looking into this drill and impact for $199 at HD but Kobalt also has some good deals too. Not sure which way to go.
Honestly, if your budget is high enough, I’d go for the Milwaukee, not necessary for its raw performance (it has slightly less power than the Kobalt, though it is more compact and lighter). The main reason would be the future expansion of your tool collection, as Milwaukee has a much more expansive lineup (though Kobalt has been coming out with some good stuff lately, I haven’t had a chance to try it but I’ve heard excellent things about their new and pricier XTR lineup, so you may want to look into that as well)
Great review!
I appreciate the review; will be buying the drill/impact set.
Cool review i just got this and an impact at the HD for $200! I’m happy with the purchase 👍
Bryan thanks! I’ve been looking into getting a milwaukee impact actually, so hopefully I’ll get around to that

Home Depot actually has them for $100 on Black Friday but since you got 2 batteries instead of one, sounds like you didn’t get a bad deal either
@@Stevepilot Yea I'm thinking it was just the drill for $100 cause they want almost 100 for one battery.You can't go wrong with Milwaukee.
What size are the batteries? I just got this Drill plus (1) 2ah battery and charger for $99

@@yurirossini8107 I personally haven’t had issues with that, though it’s because I mostly use the clutch when I’m afraid of overdriving smaller screws

@@Luigiz28 no problem! Whichever line you go for, I’m sure you won’t be disappointed.
i think you are doing it wrong, the bits go in the chuck.. not thrown at it
damn, my bad haha
You know this guy's not too smart after stripping out screws and saying squeeze black tabs to remove battery, when there red.
I know right! What an idiot. By the way, it’s “they’re,” not “there.” But what do I know.

It’s a fkn drill chill out with the camera angles

Well then get of your a$$ and make your own video
