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

The Milwaukee 3601-20 is a compact 18V brushless drill/driver built for tight spaces and overhead work. It delivers 550 in-lbs of torque and 0-1,700 RPM, yet measures only 5.7 inches long and weighs 2.3 pounds without a battery. Reviewers praise its power-to-size ratio and all-metal chuck, though some note the bare-tool package adds cost if you don't already own M18 batteries. It competes with other premium compact drills like DeWalt's DCD791 and Makita's XFD12, offering similar performance in a shorter body.
