5.0 out of 5 stars Buy One First, Then Write a Review, December 27, 2007

By	Jeff Shultz "Shultzy" (Wayzata, MN United States) - See all my reviews

I bought this Driver about one month ago. My experience with it is good. Long run time, good power, excellent chuck and a good feel. I also own the Bosch and like it a lot also...but I think the Milwaukee is a little better.

There is nothing to dislike about this tool. I read another review that was written by someone who does not own this tool and is repeating something he heard about reliability. How would you know if you do not own and use one?

The handle is not too big in my hand (5'10" 165 lbs) and the tool has a quality feel when you use it.

I'll update this after more usage, but in the first month, I am satisfied totally.

Update 8/28/2008
Further use of the Milwaukee driver has proven my original review. I still think this is just a little more tool than the Bosch. The chuck is a little more sophisticated and the power feels a little stronger. I like that Milwaukee is using this platform for new tools (M-Spector) and I hope to see more in the future. The battery gauge is a plus and this driver is a pleasure to use. Makita has just introduced a similar tool with even more torque and two speeds. Time will tell how the Makita stacks up against the competition, but you will not be sorry if you purchase this Milwaukee. I'd buy it again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than the Bosch, January 29, 2008

By	Dale Rowland (Fairbanks, AK United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

As a door and window contractor I use battery powered tools every day. When I went looking for something smaller and lighter to complement the big tools. I came across the Bosch 10.8 as the perfect solution and picked one up last year. It was nice, but not the great power it claims. The big problem came, though, when it got below freezing here and I found the tool just wouldn't run, period, until it warmed up again. This was more than just a bit aggravating when you want to get the job done and you're putting the tool in your coat to warm the poor thing up. I found I had to take the thing back and forth to the house every night so I could use it on the job without delay. I realize this won't matter to a lot of people in the toasty states, but I thouhgt it might be helpful info for those others that live in cold climates and don't want to coddle their tools keeping them warm at night.
I did try another Bocsh 10.8 in case this was just a single tool problem, but the exact same thing happened. It won't function in the cold.
So I picked up the Milwaukee 12V when it came out and have had none of the problems. I like it better and it's very comforttable in the hand, it has more power than the Bosch, and runs longer. The one hand chuck is great.

5.0 out of 5 stars Plenty of Power, October 28, 2007

By	P. Viola (Loveland, CO U.S.A.) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a fine product. More power over the Bosch. This driver went all day without a charge with installing bathroom fixtures. It will drive two and half inch screws all day. I stopped counting over 60. Though it has enough gentle torque to put together the smallest screws with fixtures. Real good at starting a screw or drilling a hole.

The charger is fast even on a hot battery.

The case is real nice cordura and can store more bits.

I would recommend this product to anyone who will do a lot of detail and finish work. Its so light to carry and has plenty of longevity in the battery.

The first reviewer must have real small hands. I think that review was poor and did not comment on the power or features of the unit.
