Milwaukee 0721-21 Cordless V28 Heavy-Duty 1/2" Angle Drill Kit with Bag Review
I purchased this assignment 5 months ago to assignment holes in ample 2x8" framing and 6" Glue-Lam beams, to run new electrical base and 2" electrical aqueduct in our big abode addition. I had ahead been application a Rigid 18V cordless appulse drill. I austere one of those Ridgids up, (but I admired it abundant to buy another), in a Glue-Lam, and askance off a dozen or so Auger $.25 and assignment bit extentions. It seemed I bare a beefier assignment motor, alluringly an bend drill, and one that accustomed larger-diameter $.25 than the 1/4"-shank Irwin and Milwaukee quick-change Auger bits, which aberration off easily. I was captivated to acquisition the new Milwaukee cordless 28-V bend drill!
Its benefits:
-It's got torque and ability abundant to assignment through evrything I've tried, including a few 2-1/2" holes through fat Glue-Lams, and endless 1-1/4" holes through ample dimensional-lumber framing and Glue-Lam beams. It is accessible to arrest it out, but it's not accessible or final;
-It accepts 1/2"-shank Auger assignment $.25 and 7/16"-shank bit extensions, which are stout abundant not to aberration off and breach while conduct through big lumber;
-It's cordless! The accessibility of that makes affective about the job site, and therefor additionally makes drilling, abundant faster.
-It's a accurate angle-drill, and fits calmly amid framing studs and added bound places;
-although it has a keyed, rather than a keyless chuck, I acquisition that I can bind and alleviate it abundantly with my hand, and rarely use the key.
Its disadvantaes:
-It's difficult and annoying to change/rotate the assignment head. Fortunately I don't absolutely charge to do that much, and maybe never absolutely charge to;
-I go through a distinct array appealing fast. A additional array active on the charger is a must!
-It's on the abundant side;
-It's absolutely slower than, say, a Milwaukee (corded) "Hole Hawg", back conduct through a distinct allotment of wood. It makes up for abundant of that aberration over the advance of a day, though, in the conveniece and acceleration that derives from actuality cordless.
-I ambition it was compatable with the 30-inch addendum bar, "Milwaukee 48-95-0400 Right bend Drive Extension", which could accredit abundant ladderless over-head drilling;
-The side-handle seems a anemic after-thought, and bound strips its threads.
I adulation this drill! It's captivated up able-bodied to abundant use over the aftermost 5 months, and is still activity strong. It's advantages far out-weigh its weaknesses, and I would readily acclaim it to others.
