- Is this drill good for home use?
- Yes. It handles drilling into wood, metal and plastic and driving screws, and the two-speed gearbox gives control for both. For repeated heavy drilling or long runtime, a brushless M18 model is a better fit.
- Does it come with a battery and charger?
- Yes. The kit includes an M18 lithium-ion battery, a charger and a case, so it is ready to use out of the box.
- Can I use my other M18 batteries with it?
- Yes. It runs on any Milwaukee M18 18V battery, so higher-capacity packs extend runtime. The included 1.5 Ah battery is the lightest option.
- How does it compare with a brushless M18 drill?
- Brushless M18 drills deliver more torque and runtime per charge and need less motor maintenance. This brushed model is simpler and suits lighter, occasional work.
- What chuck does it have?
- It has a 1/2 in. ratcheting chuck, which accepts standard drill and driver bits with 1/2 in. shanks and smaller bits via the jaws.
- What can I drill with it?
- With the right bits it drills wood, metal and plastic, and it drives screws and fasteners. Masonry drilling needs a hammer drill.
- Where is the Milwaukee M18 1/2 in. Brushed Cordless Drill/Driver Kit (Battery & Charger) cheapest?
- At Florida Wholesale Tools, for $179.00, as of our latest check.
