The keyless chuck is amazingly tight, even with the smallest drill bits, and very quick/easy to change between bits.I will not go into all the details and finer points of this drill. and take it out by giving this drill a bad review.This is an awesome drill.with the quality assurance Milwaukee is famous for. Watch for the complainers out there, who think they've been ripped, jipped, etc. The 5-year warranty, and other good reviews speak for itself. Sure, some of the complaints may be legitimate, however, they do not detract from the performance and quality of this drill. The 28 volt, lithium ion battery lasts for hours of good use, and is quick to recharge. I also bought the work light that uses the same battery, (MLW49-24-0185 V28), and it is the most amazing light I have found. Just read the many great reviews for it.
Easy to use and power to spare.I have a corded drills and a V28. I reach for the V28 all the time. Have not run into an instance that the V28 could not handle.
i had av724-20 for about a WEEK IT FELLOVER THE HANDLE BROKE MILWAUKEE WOULD NOT REPLACE IT. EVEN THOUGH THEY ADMITTED THE HANDLE TO BE WEEK.
Sometime for hours at a time. I've used it so hard the drill body was too hot to rest your palm on and it didn't even smell. I can't say enough about how extremely durable it is.On the hammer setting it will drill 1/4" holes in block but that's about it, so don't expect much from the hammer setting if you have anything heavy-duty to drill. I've owned it 8 months and have put it through more than most people will in a lifetime and it's still going strong. I have 3 other cordless drills and they stay at home. So much in fact it will darn near break your wrist if what you are drilling catches the bit and turns the drill when you least expect it.
I'm constantly using large bore step bits to drill into steel j-boxes, door frames, etc. It's perfect. I'm a commercial electrician and use this drill daily. Under the caption "What's in the box", it says one hammer drill. I have no clue what Consumer Reports could have possibly done to break it. I've dropped it off a 10 foot step ladder onto concrete, picked it back up and used it the rest of the day. That's it.
I'm so hard on this thing. It has a ton of power. I use the Milwaukee 28v cordless SDS hammer drill for 99% of my hammer drilling anyway. This is the only one I take to the job site with me every day. I use it and use it hard. (that drill is a superb hammer drill BTW)As far as the other reviewers rating the drill down, READ THE PRODUCT DESCRIPTION. READ next time you fools.
He said that they (H.D) are no longer pushing the 28v Millwaukee stuff due to the many failures in this line of tools. UPDATE: 11/09 Recently had a conversation with a sales person at H.D.
This drill broke in Consumer Reports testing of hammer drills. Also, it is made in China.
I purchased the "bare tool" because I have some v28 batteries, I like them because they stay charged on the shelf (within reason). It is easily adjustable and stays put.
Performed very well in drilling concrete block for anchors. The side handle is the best yet of Bosch, DeWalt, Makita that I own.
orange store. Basically because Millwaukee is using 28 volts on 18 volts guts.
