 Just enough power Sep 03, 2010
This really isn't a heavy duty drill and fails pretty bad when I try to drill 1" auger bit hole for electrical work. However, it's excellent for deck screws, it just has enough power to drive them on high speed, and it's much lighter than my heavier duty drill. The reduction in fatigue after a day is noticeable. Battery life is not very long doing this, it virtually stalls at the end of each drive. Still, the second battery charges faster than I use it. Battery also gets fairly warm, but with the XC battery, it stays cool and lasts 3 times longer despite only being twice the capacity. I also use this for metal roofing screws. These are 1" #9 self tapping screws. Each compact battery puts in about 250 screws, either drill or impact, both are good for this task, and they charge faster than I use them. For being up on a slippery roof, the light weight and belt hook is great. The impact driver is outstanding and seems about identical to the DeWalt compact one which I worked along side of on a recent deck job, both for 1/2" lags and 2.5" composite screws. I ended up using the drill instead though because it's faster and as I mentioned, just powerful enough for this task.
 great deal Sep 01, 2010
Being a retired millwright I know something about tools. This is a great pair. Used the impact last week when we installed my new central heat& air unit. The drill is just as handy. You cannot go wrong with this pair.

Love these drills! I did have trouble switching from 1-2 on the compact drill but it worked itself out in about 5 minutes. The impact driver is awesome! Absolutely no regrets with these drills especially at the $218 I paid.
Good tool for the money Aug 24, 2010
The drill has plenty of power and comfortable to use. I'm having the same problem with changing speeds that others have written about, but it is more an annoyance than a deal-breaker. It takes a little fiddling to get it to shift from low to high, but no more than a couple of seconds worth. The impact driver is a fine little tool. It starts the screw fast before the impact kicks in (compared to a battery drill on low speed), but after driving a few screws I got used to it. It puts 3 1/2" screws into treated pine effortlessly (although backing them out with the impact driver is a bit of a trick--I use the drill for that). The driver is light enough to hang on my tool belt without hardly noticing it's there. The battery level light is handy as well. I would say this was money very well spent.

Yes! A lighter weight driver and drill by Milwaukee. The company has a reputation for tough, heavy tools. At least the heavy part is now a myth. As a cabinetmaker of 31+ years I've used Milwaukee products quite a bit. These are nice and light weight due to the slim Lithium Ion batteries. Quick to recharge. I needed to get more batteries but darn near fainted at the cost. You practically get the tools for free for the cost of the doggone batteries.
