I have been using this item for about a week now and it is impressive! With almost 1100 in/lbs of torque this drill eats through 2x studs like you would not believe! This item really lives up to the claim of corded performance without the cords. The batteries last longer than any NiCd on the market. I would have like it to have a keyless chuck as the keyed chucks are a little less convenient. A rep for milwaukee said they tried the keyless chucks but the bit would slip so I guess they did the right thing in making the keyed chuck. It can also be inconvenient to adjust the drill although it can be rotated a full 360 degrees which is a great feature. Otherwise a must have for plumbers and electricians!

The product is extremely heavy duty and works for everything you'll need a right angle drill for. I have a 28v hammer drill and a 28v impact wrench as well and they all perform exactly as described from the manufacturer. For the price, the 28v units are pretty pricy. The fact that they are so expensive and there is only 1 battery is the only reason I gave it 4 stars. If this review was based on the quality alone, it definelty gets a 5.

I'm an electrician working in the bay area and this tool is new to our truck. We just finished our first big job using it exclusively. The convenience of this tool is amazing. It works steady and compared to our super hog it works slow but by the time the super hog is set up this drill has made the hole and is back in the box. I really wish milwaukee could figure out a way to adjust the angle of the neck without the use of wrenches but this is their standby right angle drill design and I guess they are sticking with it. Battery life is good and we use three V 28 tools now so lots of batteries kicking around makes everything convenient. We will buy more of these in the future.

I have used this tool for over a year now. Here is Florida there are many construction jobs that require remodeling of older homes. This tool has been used in houses that still have the wire mesh and concrete, generally known as "dry wall". Metal casings in doors and between studs present no problem for this tool in boring holes for wire chases in walls.

Note: this is a specialized tool and not for a homeowner or light repair work around the house. The weight alone is enough to give a full grown man a work out but will tackle any construction job with ease.

The Milwaukee 28 volt series has, steadily, replaced my corded tools from the late 60's and this right angle drill is no exception!

Oh my goodness this drill is super quiet and smooth. This is the drill you see in the movies when a thief has to be super quiet when drilling holes!! This is the quietest and smoothest power tool I ever used, corded or cordless. If that has anything to say about the quality, then this drill is the best. We took the angle head off and use it for mixing mud and with the bigger holes saws. We have a few of Milwaukee's 28 volts tools and they seem to be of a much higher quality than the 18 & 12 volt tools. Yes, the keyed chuck is a hassle but that is such a minor thing. If you need a big powerful drill and can break loose with the cash then I would buy this tool over any other brand.

I like the V28 Angle Drill. Plenty of power and I am glad that it has a keyed chuck. I keep the angle bolts loose while in the case and just tighten them after rotating the head before use.

The problem I have is with the case. This is the second Milwaukee tool that I have purchased in the past few months and both have storage case shortcomings. The angle drill fits nicely in the plastic case with everything that comes with the initial purchase. However there is only room for ONE battery. I have to carry the second battery in a separate bag to the job site. Also there is very limited space for drill bits in the case so I have to carry them separately. My corded Milwaukee drill which I bought 25 years ago has plenty of room in the metal case for drill bits and hole saws.

One other thing is that there is no provision for attaching the chuck key to the drill. It just comes loose in the case. I got a piece of 1/4" cotton cord and tied it around the chuck Key and looped the other end through the drill handle to keep it handy and keep it from getting lost.

It is not a total substitute for a permanent power winch on a 43' sailboat. Easy operation for the initial grinding on the main halyard or a jib sheet but will fault out (stop) when it gets close to the end (last 4-6 feet). Easy to handle as long as the winch is self-tailing.
