Bought a very good condition, used one from Amazon Warehouse at substantial discount (the ONLY reason why I bought it as I'm not a fan of Chinese made tools at all). This drill is made in China (for those who still wonder). Upon opening the box, it had a lot of oil leaking out from the gearbox. I opened the screws holding the gearbox to the body and reseated the seal and everything seems OK. Milwaukee went cheap (even though they still charge customers the same price) with their tools nowadays. The chuck's jaws are not carbide-lined anymore, just plain steel. I didn't care about that because I replaced the chuck with a 1/2" LFA chuck anyway. This drill has 1/2"-20 spindle thread and therefore will take almost all 1/2" and up chucks that you want to replace it with. It has decent power and speed (7 amps and 1200rpm) for what I use it for. The 3-stars reflects the oil-leaking seal experience.

I've just had this for a few days and haven't even used it yet so don't take this review seriously. This is just meant for my first impressions with the drill. I kinda regret that I didn't buy it when almost all Milwaukee tools were made either in the USA, Japan or Germany.

Very pleased with the heft and the power of this drill. I don't mind have to be near and outlet or have the proper extension cord because this one will run all day at any speed you choose. locking chuck was easy to get use to and became quick and trouble free changes for bits and drivers.

I bought this drill a few months ago after one of my old ones died. Before I bought the Milwaukee I tried a Hitachi from a big box store. It was the best Hitachi 3/8 drill available and it was very disappointing. I took it back and bought the Milwaukee and have been very happy ever since. The keyless chuck works great. The drill has plenty of power. Of course, Milwaukee is usually top of the line when it comes to drills. I also have a Milwaukee 1/2 inch hammer drill and it absolutely smokes the Dewalt and some of the others I've tried. This drill is a little pricey for a 3/8 but you only have to buy it once.
