Milwaukee 0622-24 18-Volt 1/2-Inch Lok-Tor Driver/Drill Kit

Now this is torque. All 495 inch-pounds of it. We’ve handled a lot of drill/drivers, and this is the leanest, meanest machine of them all. Its substantial heft goes virtually unnoticed in hand, to the credit of Milwaukee engineers, because it’s perfectly balanced. And the soft grip just feels good. Look at these features: The all-metal single-sleeve "grip-lock" ratcheting chuck has carbide jaws. The battery pack reverses for fitting into tight spaces. The T-handle is easy to get on and off, but rock-solid in place. The charger, made in Japan, juices up the U.S.-made batteries in 60 minutes and gets you and your German-made drill back on the job. We’d like to see Milwaukee wrap the T-handle in the same ergonomic material as the grip; that would push this tool from the excellent category into the awesome. You absolutely cannot go wrong with this drill.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the best cordless drill ever to date, November 18, 2002

This review is from: Milwaukee 0622-24 18-Volt 1/2-Inch Lok-Tor Driver/Drill Kit (Tools & Home Improvement)

About a month ago, I purchased a DeWalt 18V XRP drill that worked fine. After about three weeks, it developed the signature DeWalt chuck wobble, and I returned it. I logged on to Amazon to buy the Milwaukee, and the rest is history.

This thing is an animal! At work, some screws that hold the metal door threshold were sticking about 1/4" from the floor. I attempted to drive them home with the Black and Decker 9.6 V we have at work. As I should have known, it was a no go. A co-worker brought in his 14.4 Makita. Stopped dead in it's tracks. I borrowed my buddy's 18V DeWobble. It turned them a little bit, but they remained in a dangerous position. Something had to be done...........I called in "Big Red."

*The Good, the Bad and the Ugly whistle*

The beast stood poised for the task. The Milwaukee Heavy Duty logo emblazoned for all to see. Everyone went silent as I removed it from the case, loaded up the screwdriver bit, and revved it up a few times for dramatic effect.

I walked over to the problem at hand, and uttered these words :

"I know what your thinking. Does it have 450 in-lbs of torque, or does it have 495. Well...being that this is a Milwaukee Lok-Tor Heavy Duty T-Handle drill, the most powerful cordless drill in the world, you've gotta ask yourself one question. Do you feel lucky?"
*wwwhirrrrrrrrr*

I think you know what happened!

I have owned a Makita, De Walt, Porter Cable, Bosch, and Panasonic 18 volt cordless drills. The Bosch was hard to part with but, I realized I made the right decision after I bought the Milwaukee. It is simply the lightest, most durable 18V drill I have ever used. The batteries last longer, the torque is better, the chuck is indestructable, and the "MADE IN THE USA" stamp pretty much sold me. I have dropped it, left it out in the cold, left it in the heat, and have built 12 decks with it. Only twice did I even have to use the other battery. Bosch comes very close. In my opinion, the others don't even compare.

For the last 2 years, I have been busy! I mean, REALLY busy, renovating our house. From decks, to fences - inside jobs / outside jobs. Bottom line: I have "wasted" a couple of drills in the process and wanted the best. NO DISAPPOINTMENTS HERE. Got a couple of more projects going, and this "piece" has performed better than expected. Aside form the Milwaukee name, this thing gives you a feeling of confidence that simply states "There is nothing too tough to handle". A nice feeling when you don't want to be interupted by a failing tool. Nice work, Milwaukee! I'm on my way to buy the 11 amp orbital Sawzall based on my experience with this "work of excellence"!
