Incredible
 
Review Date: November 13, 2007
Reviewer: Angus, Naperville, IL
This thing is a beast. Maybe I feel this way because I'm coming off a recently blown up Crapsman 18v drill that was sub par. However, I do have experience with the Panasonic 15.6v drill that has been arguably the best drill out there. I would easily put this up against the Panasonic anytime. Sure the Milwaukee is brand new and the Panasonic has been around for years so we'll see what the China-made Milwaukee will do long term. That said, it's lighter, shorter and more powerful than the Panasonic. Not by much, but it is. Even the charge time of the battery is quicker! I've always been a fan of Milwaukee's cases so there's another bonus over the Pany.
The previous reviewer complained about the placement of the forward/reverse switch but I don't agree. In my opinion, it's located just fine and very similarly to other cordless drills I've used (Craftsman, Panasonic and Porter Cable). If you're a homeowner and looking for a weekend project cordless drill, this may be too much for you, especially considering the cost. Being a contractor, this is EXACTLY what I was looking for. It's light, it's stout (not too long) and most importantly, it's POWERFUL. It is currently priced very competitively with the Pany. You can't lose with either!
Great Drill
 
Review Date: April 14, 2008
Reviewer: New England Yankee, Northern New England
I bought this to replace a 15 year-old Porter Cable 12V drill that was a real workhorse. Unfortunately, the batteries on the PC simply wouldn't hold a charge long enough anymore to keep it in service, and replacement cost of batteries made replacing the entire drill attractive. I found the Milwaukee at a good price at Home Depot and put it to immediate use driving 60, 3.5" lag screws, along with several dozen pocket holes. Good Lord, does this drill have power! The power stays at 100% until the battery is exhausted, too. The batteries have a "meter" that's handy, letting you know the remaining charge. I noticed that the available power will dip a bit after a good run of use, then will recover a bar on the meter after a short rest. The chuck appears to have an internal ratcheting mechanism that really locks down on bits - you can hear the ratchet engage if you listen closely. I haven't spun a bit in the chuck yet. The bit ker-chunks a little when going from forward to reverse, and vice-versa, which I presume is also related to the ratchet mechanism. The drill is very well-balanced. It fits my hand perfectly (I wear a medium glove). I strongly recommend it.
The Best!!
 
Review Date: March 18, 2008
Reviewer: Mike 1900, CA USA
I've used drills and tools for over 30 years and Milwaukee corded tools were always professional grade. When going to a cord-less drill/screwdriver I tried Dewalt, Porter-Cable and Skill units. These always ended up in the trash. So I moved up to this Milwaukee unit and after 3 months am still glad I bought it. It has SUPER battery life, is quick charging and using the torque gauge it is easy to sink screws flush with the work. It never seems to run out of battery life.
If you continually upgrade thru lesser brands, you'll eventually end up with a Milwaukee. Buy it, you'll like and will not regret it.
Very Impressive
 
Review Date: November 14, 2007
Reviewer: A. Plowman,
I used this along with the Miwaukee 12 volt and I am beyond impressed with both of these. It is very compact and the power was great; although, I wouldn't recommend putting 2 9/16 self-feed bits on it, but for general drilling purposes this is above and beyond anything you would ever need.

I was impressed with the smooth functioning of the tool, when I barely pushed the variable speed trigger you couldn't even hear the gears moving and when I did this with the Makita compact version it immediately made a loud buzzing sound. Although, I appreciate some other brands, but Milwaukee always seems to be superior.
Powerful, light and compact
 
Review Date: May 22, 2008
Reviewer: Charley Two, Bakersfield, CA
I bought this drill about a month ago and used it to install seven dormer vents and two powered fans on my roof. On this project, I needed to use power-hungry spade bits. I wound up drilling thirty-six 1-3/8" holes in roofing plywood, and about ten 3/4" holes through the 2" rafters. I had originally planned to use a corded drill because I didn't expect a cordless to have the power or battery life to deal with these large holes. But how do you leave a brand new, top-of-the-line, $200 drill on the shelf while doing a big "drilling project".

I was amazed at its performance. The batteries are about 1/2 the size and weight of other 18v batteries, and they seemed to last forever. I wound up changing to the 2nd battery just because I wanted to test it too, so I don't really know how long they would have lasted. I saw no decrease in power as the drill was used. This drill is much lighter, and more compact than any drill I've had. I thought the "belt hook" was kind of gimmicky for a tool of Milwaukee's "pro" reputation, but it really works well as long as your belt is sturdy. Plus, who can resist a bright red tool???

The only neg. is the torque slider switch. It's stiff, and doesn't have a positive "click stop". My wife thinks it must be a pretty good tool if that's all I can find to complain about...

Review Date: October 7, 2009
Reviewer: J. Craig,
A powerful, lightweight drill and driver. Despite buying and enjoying the use of a Hole Hawg prior to doing timber framing with Timberlok screws, I relied largely on the 2601-20 to complete the project. I work with two 2601s, and recommend the purchase of this 'tool only,' and would not hesitate to buy reconditioned Milwaukee equipment.

Milwaukee has done a superb job of combining power with light weight, compactness, and battery function. I like the belt clip also.

I look forward to the drill that beats this one, but can't imagine it.
Sturdy. Best buy.

Powerful, Two-Speed Design For Versatility
This powerful 15.6-volt drill driver delivers a maximum of 390 inch-pounds of full-time torque, so you can be confident that it will get tough jobs done while letting you maintain control. And with a two-speed gearbox, you can ensure that you're using this tool smartly and effectively.

The low-speed setting of 65 to 450 rpm is ideal for tough jobs requiring high torque, such as drilling with large bits and driving screws in a controlled manner, while a high-speed of 200 to 1450 rpm is great for more general drilling and fastening in metal.

18-Speed Clutch for Tackling Tough Jobs
The EY6432GQKW is also equipped with an 18-stage clutch. This clutch system helps ensure accuracy and control while you're working, and it further extends the life of your drill driver by making sure the correct amount of torque is available for a variety of applications. This helps prevent driving screws too far, snapping them off, and damaging materials as you work.

Thoughtful, Ergonomic Construction for Ease of Use
A well-balanced tool like this drill driver is easier to work with, and it allows you to work long hours more comfortably. The EY6432GQKW measures a compact 8-3/16 inches in length and weighs less than five pounds. Ideal for both right- and left-handed users, this tool's ergonomic design includes a comfortable, contoured rubber grip to reduce fatigue during extended use. And convenient placement of the variable speed control trigger and forward/reverse switch permits simple, one-handed operation.

A heavy-duty keyless chuck means that a lost chuck key will never bring your work to a standstill again. And it makes changing bits fast and easy, which is important if you switch tasks often or wear protective gloves on the job.

Reliable, Quick-Charge Battery Power
Effective battery power means no more tangled extension cords that can limit your movement or cause a safety hazard. That's why this Panasonic drill driver is powered by a 3.5Ah Ni-MH battery pack that can be fully charged in just 55 minutes. This high-tech battery is industry exclusive, with 75-percent more capacity than the 2.0Ah Ni-Cd batteries that come with many standard drills.

This means less time spent waiting and more time spent working. And even when there isn't time for a full charge, the inverter charger features an "Emergency Charge" function that charges the pack to 15-percent of its full capacity in just five minutes.

This kit comes with a convenient second battery pack, so you don't have to worry about buying one separately.

What's in the Box
Panasonic EY6432GQKW 15.6-Volt Drill Driver, two Ni-MH battery packs, universal charger, and molded case.

Incredible!
 
Review Date: September 6, 2009
Reviewer: Stephen Cunningham, Northern Michigan
This is one incredible tool. Mine came with a adjustable stop rod that is not shown in the picture. It is built into the side handle and requires no tools to adjust its length, just press on the spring loaded release and adjust the rod to the desired position or remove it if it is in the way. I use this tool to replace a much heavier corded model for doing overhead work. I am installing new drywall in a very old house that had plaster over plaster board wall construction. I have removed the plaster and plaster board on the exterior walls to facilitate the installation of insulation and modern wiring. The underlying structure wasn't exactly designed for drywall. For instance the top plates were not aligned. The top 2x4 plate protruded into the room ½ to ¾ of an inch in some areas making it impossible to install the drywall with a square corner. I used a sharpened flat chisel blade and the hammer mode to quickly cut off the excess material using the lower top plate as a guide. Other than a flush cutting circular saw I can't think of a tool that would have done this job any better, and it is probably safer than using a flush cutting circular saw overhead.

I love this tool. It is strong and compact. It uses my old ni-cad 18 volt batteries as well as my new V-18 Lithium batteries. I bought mine from Tool King at a compettive price and it arrived in the original Milwaukee "bare tool" box along with the product registration paperwork.

One vendor shipped the last tool Milwaukee tool I bought from them in a plain brown box, no Milwaukee packaging and didn't include the operational part of the tool (the metal cutting blade) even though the product description stated it was included, and when I asked them to send it they just said no, ship it back at my expense if I wasn't happy and pay the restocking fee. The entire process set my building project back several weeks. You can read my review of the Milwaukee metal cutting circular saws to get the full story (and be sure to look at the pictures), Amazon did compensate me some of my cost of returning the item but not all of it. Perhaps your results may be better but it has been my experience that some of these vendors are just a little better than others. It cost me a couple of bucks to figure out that the lowest priced vendor isn't always the best choice. I have purchased a lot of tools from many vendors and have always had exceptional service except for my one bad experience. I will pay a couple of dollars more for the product and a couple of dollars less for the shipping and buy from a Vendor like Tool King to get the genuine original Milwaukee packaging and first rate customer service. When I purchased my Milwaukee SDS cordless drill from Took King the total cost of the product and shipping was less than $5 more than the lowest priced vendor.

I have uploaded a picture showing the adjustable stop rod that came with my drill.

Great Deal and a great drill!
 
Review Date: September 1, 2009
Reviewer: P. T. Sano, Wynantskill, NY
This might well be the neatest battery operated drill one could ever own. This drill from Milwaukee might be as useful to the end user as it is hard to find. The drill is one of many in the Milwaukee line that are seemingly being sold off at discount prices to clear the shelves of their older 18volt technology. I found it quite cool that this tool would not only operate with the newer 18 volt lithium batteries but also with the older nicad batteries. It has a clutch that allows for drilling, hammer drilling, and hammer only. I must say that when I first took it out of the box, I installed one of my SDS chisels from an electric chipping hammer that I own. I noticed that the bit was sitting off center. Only then did I consult the directions and found that there is a setting on the clutch that allows you to turn the chuck 360 degrees until it is in the location that you want...To me, that is quite cool!! Using the drill in hammer mode was impressive to me considering that it is a cordless tool. Granted it is not going to challenge the performance of my Hitachi or similar electric hammers, but for light chipping, etc. it works very nicely indeed. Also, the bits used are of the SDS variety. Not everyone has this type of bit, but for heavy duty chiseling and hammer drilling it is hard to beat. I do believe Milwaukee sells a conversion chuck that allows you to use regular drill bits in an SDS drill like this one. On top of that for [...] dollars from [...] , boy what a bargain for quite the big tool! I have about six 18volt nicad batteries at home and love the opportunity to pick up these tools "only". Next is the 18volt impact wrench for [...] bucks!! Also, for those contractors that want to use these bigger tools, get the three bay charger that Milwaukee sells. It keeps three batteries charging at once and even takes batteries that I removed from my job's recycling bin and brought them back to life! Worth every penny!! But I digress....You will not be disappointed by this purchase for sure.....

I bought this to go with the rest of my Milwaukee 18V tools amd boy was I surprised! It has a lot of power and is easy on the batteries. It even out performs my 18V Milwaukee hammer drill! It's a great value for the money and I'm glad I bought it. Like they say...."Red Tools Rock"!
Great deal, Great tool
 
Review Date: April 2, 2010
Reviewer: Randall P. Kuhn, New York, NY United States
Including a carry case would have made this a totally sweet deal, but such a great tool for such a great price, I can't complain. Rugged, heavy-duty like all Milwaukee tools, this rotary hammer (paired with Bosch bits) bores through brick, concrete, cinder blocks and everything else like a laser. Like a good ranch dog it never stops working, feels good to the touch and doesn't ask for any special treatment. Love this tool. RK
