Reliable, long-lasting LITHIUM-ION power is just one part of a full feature set.

M18 Lithium-Ion Power: Compact, Lightweight, and Dependable
Cordless power frees you from the hassle of extension cords, but a cordless tool is only as reliable as its battery--that's where Milwaukee's M18 XC High-Capacity LITHIUM-ION batteries come in. Engineered to deliver torque, speed, and extended runtime, these batteries make use of Milwaukee's trademarked Digital Power Management technology to ensure long battery life. Additionally, overload protection, a temperature management system, and individual cell voltage monitoring guard your battery and your tools during tough jobs.

A convenient power gauge on each battery displays remaining runtime, and a second battery is included with the kit, so you never have to worry about running out of power in the middle of a task. Plus the M18 LITHIUM-ION battery charger is designed to recharge batteries in one hour or less.

Since lithium-ion batteries are significantly smaller and lighter than 18-volt NiCad batteries, they play an integral role in keeping Milwaukee's M18 tools ergonomic and comfortable to use. For added versatility, M18 tools also work with even lighter M18 Compact LITHIUM-ION Batteries (not included).

M18 Series Tools: Innovative, Powerful, and Easy to Handle
Launched in 2008, the M18 series from Milwaukee balances power and ergonomics. M18 tools pack the best-in-class, heavy-duty performance that you expect from Milwaukee into lighter, more compact bodies than those of traditional tools. This translates to improved versatility on the jobsite and reduced user fatigue at the end of the workday.

5.0 out of 5 stars Max Power, Longest Lasting August 2, 2009

By R. P. KROENING

I recently purchased the Milwaukee M18 Hammer/Drill/Driver mainly because of the Brand integrity but also because I was tired of carrying many extra batteries that ran out of juice too soon. This one surprised me, completely. I'm more of a weekend project warrior and this one completed many tasks that I normally would use my old Black & Decker in combination with an electric drill. I actually used this drill for 3 days before I broke out the second battery for the first time. And the available power and torque is amazing, far surpassing the capabilities of even my electric drill. One should note that two hands should be used when you know it will be a tough job because the torque of this lightweight monster could put a serious hurt on your wrist. Now I'm looking to replace ALL my cordless tools with the M18 Family. The M18 6.5 inch circular saw is next on my list. Yeah, they cost more than most of your average tools, but the benefits far outweigh and are totally worth it.

5.0 out of 5 stars For when you need a little bit more (and to clear up the 450/550 confusion) June 10, 2010

By Benjamin Vincent

I also have the M18 2601 drill/driver, which is sufficient and preferable for many applications. It's a compact drill and a great one at that, but it isn't for all jobs. So for those times I need a little bit more, I compared the 2611 and the 2602 and went with this one and I'll tell you why. The 550 in/lbs of torque this produces will be enough for anything I am ever going to foreseabley be involved with, and this drill is smaller, lighter and runs longer (not to mention a shorter head length than its competitors). I purchased it with the XC batteries and when used with them it runs FOREVER and gives out it's full 550 in/lbs of torque. This drill will also accept the compact batteries (the 2611 will not), and when running on the compact batteries puts out 450 in/lbs of torque - it's a smart drill that knows which battery is in use and cuts down on power to give you a longer run time on the smaller battery.

This drill is very well built - all metal gears and all metal chuck. The chuck grips very well and tightens nicely. It is well balanced, and you can add a bit holder and/or belt hook. The forward/reverse/lock switch is easy to reach and easy to push. The LED light is always a nice feature, I'm quickly becoming accustomed to them and it's hard to imagine that drills didn't used to have them.

update 10/21/10: This drill has been performing great. It's size really is decieving, this drill has tore through everything I've put it up to. Recently had 2 XC batteries at about 80% charge each and mixed 20 gallons of mortar and still had 2 bars on the second battery.

Bottom line: If I could only own one drill, this would be it. Small and compact, metal parts where it counts and enough power to pull your shoulder out, and batteries that last to do it all day long. (but since I can own more than one, I have the even smaller and lighter, plenty powerful 2601 as well :)

3.0 out of 5 stars lasted about 16 months before it needed repair April 2, 2011

By link1896

Great cordless drill, but not a Hilti substitute. Used mine quite heavily, brushes are about 50% used. Had it apart many times now, not worth waiting for warranty work.

Latest failure was the gear box brake. The gear box brake stops the drill from turning while you are doing up or undoing the keyless chuck. I removed the locking mechanism and replaced the chuck with a keyed jacobs chuck.

Also noticed not enough grease was packed into the gearbox. Most had flown off and was not lubricating any of the gears properly. Fine swarf has migrated into the gearbox via gaps between the clutch's plastic adjuster rings.

Positive points:
Metal gears everywhere.
Two cartridge bearings in the front gearbox. Still unable to find the tool that will allow the disassembly of the front shaft. The gearbox parts are not available separately. Still, few cordless drills have TWO cartridge bearings supporting the output shaft of the gearbox, let alone a roller bearing.
Very little wear of spur gear teeth. All gears appear to have recieved very good hardening, had to attack a burr with an eze-lap file to make any headway.
