Overview
A cramped cabinet or tight corner is where this compact Milwaukee drill earns its place, with a small chuck and a plastic body. It is listed as a basic drill that uses lithium ion packs.
A compact body and a small chuck suit light drilling and driving in tight spaces, and it shares batteries with other tools in the line. The limitation is that nothing ships with it for power, and several figures in the listing look incorrect.
Who it's for
Cabinet work and small repairs with M12 batteries on hand fit a compact bare tool. People starting without that platform need to add a pack and charger before using it.
Pros and cons
- M12 battery compatibility
- Basic drill chuck
- Battery and charger not included
- Voltage and torque entries look wrong
- Low speed for drilling
Performance notes
Low rotation speed gives control for driving screws and small holes, while the small chuck limits bit shank size. Run time depends on the M12 pack fitted. Because the stated torque is unrealistic, how hard it can drive is unconfirmed.
