Product Description

Amazon.com Review

This review refers to the new model of this tool. This is a reconditioned power tool. Reconditioned generally means that the tool has been returned to the manufacturer, who brings the tool back to like-new condition. Some tools may contain cosmetic blemishes. Reconditioned tools come with the same warranty as their new counterparts.

The first thing one notices about this hammer drill is the reversible battery--a feature unique to Milwaukee drills and one that comes in handy when working in tight spots. The tool's balance feels good with the battery attached either way, although--oddly enough--we found the reverse battery configuration a little better than the normal configuration. One possible drawback to the reversible battery is that the contacts for the unused configuration are exposed and may attract dirt if the tool is dropped in the mud or on the floor of a messy job site. The need to occasionally clean contacts, however, struck us as a small price to pay for the added versatility a reversible battery system affords. The hammer drill has two speed ranges, from 0 to 500 rpm and 0 to 1,600 rpm, and the hammer action produces 20,800 beats per minute. The five-planet gearing system delivers high-torque performance, as well as transmission durability with 20 clutch positions. You can choose between drill-only mode and hammer-only mode. The hammer drill comes with two 2.4 amp batteries, a one-hour charger, and a rugged carrying case. --Brian Trinen

What a great tool! It is a little heavy, but it is also rugged and reliable. I bought it to install a mortarless brick system on the exterior walls of our new church. It holds up to a morning of hammer drilling holes in bricks and driving screws through 3/4" furring and 5/8" gypsum sheathing into heavy gauge metal studs.

When you want to relax and build a nice 16 foot floating dock or that deck your wife has been asking for since you can't remember when, the Milwaukee 18 volt Hammer Drill makes light work of drilling deck screws into wolmanized lumber.

I have seen other comments that the batteries are hard to remove, but for the life of me I can't see what is so hard about changing this tools battery. It also has a nice feature of being able to plug the battery in from the front or rear which helps get into some tight places with this tool.

As with all Milwaukee tools, this is well designed, well built, and durable. You won't regret adding this to your tool chest.
