  • Our take on the Milwaukee M18 Cordless Compact Drill/Driver

    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.

    Questions and answers

    Is this drill brushless?
    No. The 2601-22 uses a brushed motor. Milwaukee's brushless compact drills are separate models with longer runtime.
    What comes in the kit?
    The drill, two 1.5 Ah M18 lithium-ion batteries, a charger and a carrying case.
    Can it drill into masonry or concrete?
    No. It is a drill/driver for wood, metal and plastic. Masonry needs a hammer drill.
    Does it use the same batteries as other M18 tools?
    Yes. It runs on any Milwaukee M18 battery, so larger packs fit and extend runtime.
    How much torque does it have?
    500 in-lb, enough for driving screws and light hole saw work in wood and metal.
    Is it good for overhead work?
    The 7.25 in. body and 2.9 lb weight make it manageable overhead, though a larger battery adds weight.
    Where is the Milwaukee M18 Cordless Compact Drill/Driver cheapest?
    At Shell Lumber and Hardware, for $199.00, as of our latest check.
