Is the Milwaukee 2505-20 worth it?

Yes if you work in tight spaces and already own M12 batteries. The four heads do jobs a single-chuck drill cannot, and at $139.00 at eBay as of November 4, 2026 it costs less than most 18V kits.

Does it come with a battery?

No. The 2505-20 is a bare tool, so you need a separate M12 REDLITHIUM pack and charger. Budget for those if you are not already on the M12 platform.

How does it compare with the M18 FUEL drill?

The M12 is smaller and lighter at about 2 lb, which helps overhead and inside cabinets. The M18 has far more torque, so use it for big hole saws and heavy auger bits.

The bare tool with its four heads: 3/8-inch chuck, 1/4-inch hex, offset driver and right-angle attachment. Battery, charger and case are sold separately.

Can it drill into 2x4s?

Yes for pilot holes and smaller bits. With 300 in-lbs of torque it is not the tool for large hole saws or long auger bits in framing.

Bare-tool prices move with Milwaukee promotions and kit bundles. The lowest new price seen was $139.00 at eBay as of November 4, 2026, so compare against that before buying.
