Our take on the M18 18V Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless 1/2 in. Compact Drill/Driver-3601-20

The Milwaukee 3601-20 is a compact 18V brushless drill/driver built for tight spaces and overhead work. It measures 5.7 inches long and weighs 2.3 lbs without a battery, with 550 in-lbs of torque and 0-1,700 RPM. An all-metal gear case and 1/2-inch metal chuck give it the durability pros expect, and it runs on the M18 battery system shared with over 250 tools. It sits below Milwaukee's heavier hammer and Fuel drills on power, so it suits drivers and light-to-medium drilling rather than heavy masonry or big-hole work.
