Milwaukee 1/2" Magnum Drill,
November 7, 2007
By ENGR76
from VIRGINIA
|
"This is the best drill I have owned or used. Plenty of torque to handle even the toughest jobs.....so much so that you don't want to be holding it loosely if the bit grabs or you may "throw something out of joint". The drill is made extremely tough...I've had mine over 10-yrs and though it may have a little grease or scuffs on it, the case is in great shape. If you want to buy a drill that will last a lifetime, this should be your choice."

One Tough Drill,
October 30, 2007
By IrishJOD
from Harveys Lake, Pa.
|
"Best Drill I could have ever bought ! Has enough torque to do the toughest jobs. The chuck is very aggressive and you can lock your drill bits in so that they do not slip and chew them up when drilling steel. Stops the drill bits from getting burrs when you put them back into your drill bit case. The cord is very pliable and replaceable. Great Drill. I try to buy the best tools so I won't have to buy them twice, and this drill will definitely last."

Awesome, Powerful Drill,
October 30, 2007
By Anonymous Reviewer
from St Paul, MN
|
"I love this tool. It has the beef to handle the toughest jobs. When I need extra grabbing power I attach the removable side handle ... this thing's powerful enough to give your arm a good twist so hang on if you're biting into something with some grip. I especialy like the removable cord. Much easier to store and none of the twisting and crimping that can happen with other corded tools. And ... as long as you have juice, it never runs out of maximum power. This is a tool that will get handed down to my grandchildren. You just can't beat this thing up."

Awesome Electric Corded Drills,
October 30, 2007
By koconno2
from Belleville, MI.

"All of my Milwaukee electric drills (corded or cordless) perform as well as they look. Their robust die cast nose and gear reduction, in combination with a quality drill chuck, will bore or cut through anything in a matter of seconds. The quick connect power cord is especially handy for swapping between other Milwaukee tools with the same feature. My Swazall and other 1/2” Magnum hole shooters have interchangeable cords. This feature is especially useful for extending power cord life. Many old drills with fixed cords will become cracked and frayed where the cord attaches to the body of the drill. This may lead to an unsafe tool or an unnecessary end to an electric tool’s life.
I like the quick connect cord feature so much that I modified my 3/8” Milwaukee hole shooter drill to incorporate the same feature. I have a need for the faster RPM of the 3/8” hole shooter but it does not come with the quick connect cord. Although, the body of the 3/8” drill is the same as the ½” drill. I ordered replacement parts from Milwaukee and installed them in my 3/8” drill body. Now all my corded Milwaukee tools have interchangeable power cords.
When combining the Milwaukee self feeding bits with a Milwaukee ½” Magnum Hole Shooter you will have a formidable large hole drilling machine. I have used the 2”1/4” dia self feeding bit in my Magnum Hole Shooter to bore through a gang of 2x4 wall studs about 10” thick or wide. The hole was needed to run a PVC drain pipe through a built up column in an exterior wall. I also employed the use of the extension drives for the self feeder bits. One note of caution; Self feeding bits will bury them selves in deep holes, if you do not stop periodically and back them out. This will clean out the chips.
A word of caution; the Magnum ½” hole shooter corded drill produces a significant amount of torque. Use the side handle when ever possible. If the drill bit catches the torque reaction could cause some harm.
I strongly recommend all the Milwaukee corded electric drills and hand held grinders."

Corded Hand Drill,
October 30, 2007
By rchrd77
from York, PA
|
"I have had a Milwaukee drill for the past 20 years. I inherited one from my father when I was 18 and used it for 20 years then replaced it with the same Milwaukee drill. I have never had any problems with brushes or the chuck not working. It has been a very reliable product for me in my home emprovements. I would reccomend this drill to any of my friends. I like the detatchable cord for storage it seems to help the cord last over a long period of time rather then wraping it around the drill. The metal case that came with the drill is also very nice to keep the drill, cord and extra bits in."
