- Is this drill powerful enough for deck building?
- It can drive deck screws and drill pilot holes, but 550 in-lbs is modest for long lags and large auger bits. A higher-torque drill or impact driver is a better fit for heavy deck work.
- Does it come with a battery and charger?
- Yes, the kit includes one 18V 2.0 Ah lithium-ion battery and a charger that fills it in about 30 minutes. The battery is removable and swaps with other M18 tools.
- Can it drill into concrete?
- No. This is a drill/driver without a hammer mode, so it is meant for wood, metal and plastic. For masonry, choose an M18 hammer drill.
- How does it compare with the M18 Fuel drill?
- The Fuel version has more torque, a longer runtime and more premium components. This brushless model is lighter and simpler, which suits lighter duty and buyers who want a compact second drill.
- What size bits does the chuck take?
- The 1/2 in. keyless chuck accepts bits with shanks up to 1/2 in., covering standard drill bits and hex-shank accessories.
- Is it good for a first cordless drill?
- Yes, if you plan to stay on the M18 platform. It covers home repairs, furniture assembly and light drilling, and the batteries carry over to other Milwaukee tools.
