Milwaukee Cordless Power Tools

Milwaukee Cordless Power Tools reside at the very pinnicle of quality. Quality and the name Milwaukee have been synonymous in the power tool industry since the company's founding in 1924. As the only electric tool manufacturer in the United States exclusively targeting the professional tool user, Milwaukee's reputation is based on producing very reliable, durable and high-quality power tools and accessories.

The Milwaukee 0512-26 14.4-Volt 1/2 Drill Kit with Flashlightight pictured here features the Power Plus battery pack which is one of the highlights of Milwaukee's 14.4-volt cordless drill. The battery is reversible, which helps balance the tool for the user and also makes it easier to get into tight spots. The adjustable clutch is easy to use and gives you two speed ranges to choose from: low gear for more power (maximum: 280 in./lb. of torque) when driving screws and high gear for more speed when drilling.

There are also 19 different superprecise clutch positions--so you can match the torque to the application, minimizing the risk of stripping screws or breaking off heads. The thin, soft-grip handle seems to absorb some of the vibrations, making the drill comfortable both to hold and use. The 1/2-inch keyless chuck is a bonus feature, holding a larger bit than most of the 3/8-inch competition in the 14.4 market. The forward/reverse function takes some getting used to: it's a switch, as opposed to the more common two-sided buttons you find on most other brands, and, depending on hand size, can be a bit tricky to reach with your trigger hand. The kit also includes a handy light with a flexible head, so in the odd case you have to work in the dark, you've got a good light to take with you.

This is a great tool for either the professional or the serious do-it-yourselfer. Excellent work, Milwaukee.
