The Milwaukee 2601-22 is an 18-volt compact drill/driver with a 1/2 in. single-sleeve ratcheting chuck, two speed ranges (0-400 and 0-1,800 rpm) and 500 in-lb of torque. It is a brushed motor, not brushless, so it trades some runtime and efficiency for a simpler, proven design. The kit includes two 1.5 Ah lithium-ion batteries, a charger and a case, which makes it a ready-to-work setup for home and light trade use. Against brushless compact drills from DeWalt and Makita it is heavier on battery drain and lacks their electronic clutch precision, but the M18 battery platform and Milwaukee's build are the draw.
