Excellent for the DIY'er
I needed a new corded drill to replace my 19 year old Dewalt. I researched many drills and decided on the Milwaukee.It's a no frills, get the job done type drill. The 8 amp motor has enough torgue to power through anything, even concrete. The speed chuck is made of metal so it can handle some abuse. The metal gear case is a nice feature to add strength for when we drop the drill.Last night I put the Milwaukee to the test. I am making 4 bookcase cabinets for the family. Part of this project includes drilling what seems like a million holes for the adjustable shelving. Well, almost a million. It's more like 500 holes. The Milwaukee came through like a champ. The variable speed was slow enough to start the holes in the plastic jig, then speed up for finishing. The speed chuck kept the drill bit in line with no wobble.The Milwaukee feels good in the hand and well balanced. I wasn't sure about the double finger trigger system, but after the 100th hole I...

Good Milwaukee Drill
Short Review:Despite being made in China this exhibits true Milwaukee quality and care. It's surprisingly cheap but doesn't skimp on quality and craftsmanship. The drill can handle any job you throw at it and doesn't hiccup at all.Long Review: In the 3/8 inch drill line by Milwaukee this new (introduced in late October 2009) addition to the team has the highest amperage motor (at 8 amps) and the fastest rotational speed as well (2,800 rpm). Because of this it would make sense that it would cost slightly more than the 7 and 5.5 amp drills in this class, but that's not the case. In fact this drill is only 70% the cost of the previously least expensive drill in the lineup. Before purchasing this drill at a local hardware store I was uncertain as to why, it didn't make sense to me, but upon opening the box and examining the drill the best reason I can give is that this model was made in China whereas the other Milwaukee drills are all made in the United...

Great Value
Heavy Duty motor, variable speed I received it in about 1/2 the estimated time for shipping which was great at it was a replacement and I am sick of buying the National "Off Brands" only to have them fail. I used it for drilling concrete for Tapcon screws and it worked like a charm.... slightly warm motor area.The dual finger trigger makes it easierCONS:No setting to hold constant speed
