This is an exact duplicate of the cord which came with my Milwaukee Magnum Hole Shooter corded drill when it was new. It was very convenient to just twist off my badly cut cord and then twist on the new replacement. I am told that it fits many other corded Milwaukee power tools interchangably. Then there is a very solid feel to the connection at the base of the drill handle. I couldn't have chosen a better quality drill than Milwaukee. It is one of the better choices I've made for my shop.

I am feeling significant empathy regarding James L. Jahnke's review: the pity is that the grading of the product suffered as a result of reviewer having no way I can see of marking Amazon down when Amazon's weak execution mars the buying experience here of a quality product.

In background, I have owned as many as three Magnum drills, also a few Sawzalls, a Milwaukee grinder, etc., prior to downsizing and then having been relieved of my power tools by some petty thief, and as such am back on the market for tools, with fond recollections of Milwaukee quality.

With my now shopping here at Amazon to fill the bill, it is indeed disappointing to me to see that the listings for the Milwaukee tools with the Quik-Lok cords are spotty in specifying which cord goes with which tool.

In my presently considering the suitability of buying 20 foot Quik-Lok cord(s) to limit the likelihood of extension cord connection snagging in the immediate vicinity of the work area, I have discovered that there are *three* types of Quik-Lok cords, each of which in its turn is available in two different sizes:

1) 5-15P NEMA (3-wire);
2) 1-15P NEMA (2-wire); and
3) L5-20P NEMA (3-wire with twist-lock plug).

In the process of learning the above, I had read and been confused by the 2005 review here where Philip Venard stated, "I am told that it fits all other corded Milwaukee power tools interchangeably," and I as such wonder if reviewer James L. Jahnke's confusion at least in part was rooted in said piece of misinformation.

As convenient as it would be if all Milwaukee Quik-Loc hardware were compatible, the reality is just not so!

Perhaps Amazon could clarify things by:

1) Specifying which particular type of Quik-Lok cord each particular Quik-Lok-equipped tool does take; and
2) Providing a list of Milwaukee tool model numbers that are compatible with each Quik-Lok cord item.

Quibbles with Amazon aside, the Milwaukee Quik-Lok cords are of the highest quality and utility: in twisting the (5-15P NEMA 3-wire) Quik-Log plug into my Hole Shooter prior to getting to work, I always had strong confidence that problems with power getting to the job at hand were going to be the least of my concerns.

Product fit perfectly on the Milwaukee drill. Works like new again. This cord is an original manufactured product. Would buy this product again.

Its nice to have the drill working again without the funky old wire. The only reason its worthwhile is that the Milwaukee drills practically last forever.

This is a pretty basic item, and it worked so I am happy with it. The price was reasonable, so I would order another one if needed.

I am very pleased with this product. It is brand new and less than half the price of one just like it from Milwaukee. It is just what we were looking for to fit an older drill.

This Milwaukee replacement cord has all the quality that I expected out of Milwaukee tools. Fit and construction was 100%.

Don't be frightened to buy this for your Milwaukee Drill, etc. 'Plug and Play' cord with the push and turn locking feature and 3 pin, grounded wall plug end. OE quality and fit.
Spent a year without my drill 'cose local hardware stores told me I have to buy the complete drill ! Not so ! Whoopee for AMAZON.

Item came fast, exact item I needed, I alway check prices on amazon.com. prices are great, I put item on my wish list and when the price goes down I get a email they will they me know. Love the free shipment save gas..

Milwaukee makes great tools and being able to buy a simple replacement cord ensures that you will have the tool for ever.
