What size holes can it drill?

Up to 1-1/2 inches, per the kit's 1-1/2-inch rating. That covers common structural bolt and anchor holes.

No. It runs on Milwaukee M18 batteries, which is the main reason to pick it over a corded magnetic drill.

What steel will the magnet hold on?

Flat, clean steel plate and beam flanges give the best grip. Thin sheet, rust, paint buildup and curved surfaces weaken the hold.

Is it a replacement for a drill press?

Only on steel. The magnet base makes it a portable drill press for beams and plate, not for wood or bench work.

Crews already on M18 batteries who drill structural steel regularly. Occasional users are better served by a corded mag drill or a hand drill.

Our take on the Milwaukee M18 Fuel Magnetic Drill Kit

The Milwaukee M18 Fuel Magnetic Drill is a cordless drill press that clamps to steel with a magnetic base and bores holes up to 1-1/2 inches. It runs on the M18 battery platform, so crews already on Milwaukee batteries can drill structural steel without a cord or generator. It suits ironworkers, steel erectors and fabricators working on beams, plate and pipe. Against corded mag drills it trades unlimited runtime for battery dependence, and it is heavier and more specialized than a hand-held drill.
