Beautiful, High Quality Drill/Impact Driver Kit
This is a nice, high quality product. I don’t know if all parts are MADE IN THE USA, but the quality sure looks like it is.First off, the case. It is strong built to support the weight of both drivers. You think this is a dumb observation? Just look at the MADE IN CHINA products and check their casing. You can even tell by just looking at the coloring for crying out loud. This case, however, is strong with a nice crimson red color, not a faded red which I’ve seen in many a product I’ve bought over the years.Second, each item (Drill/Driver, Compact Impact Driver, and Battery Base) has its instruction manual in English, Spanish, and French. The folks over at Milwaukee Tool had the class to place Spanish on its outter casing markings second. This is a common sense touch, as a vast many more people speak Spanish than they do French. I have nothing against the French, it’s just a matter of fact.Just when you open the box where the product ships in, you’ll see it for yourself. I thought long and hard before buying this product, as the cheapest was not the price I got it at, but the cheapest also had a high S&H charge, which I though needless to pay, as I have a prime membership at Amazon.com I wanted to take advantage of. I’m already NOT regreting it. This is true quality. Milwaukee really stands out with the best; that is, Hilti, watch out!The drills look small, but feel really heavy, which most likely give the torque advertised amply in Amazon.com and the manufacturer’s site as well.I hope to be writing a review after using them, as I have several more products to review, and it’s 20:29 hrs of Dec 4, 2010. I won’t be going out in the cold to try them out just yet.Oh, before I forget, I did get a chance to try out the light on the Compact Impact Driver. It’s a white light and it encompasses a large radius, much larger and clearer than the blue dot the Black and Decker LI4000 drill features. I know, because I happen to have the LI4000 B&D driver, which I also got at Amazon.com
Black & Decker LI4000 3.6-Volt Lithium-Ion Smart Select with Exclusive Magnetic Screw Holder
; nevertheless, the blue light works better in daylight.Stay tuned…Fabruary 16, 2011Finally got a chance to try these drills out. They are amazing. The torque power on the compact drill is amazing! The variable speed comes in very handy, as the drill has the power to drive screws, but the screw may be hard to screw in, so a more steady and slow motion is convenient. Here also did I find out what the two speeds of the drill are for. The number 1 speed is slower, but has more torque (more powerful). The number 2 speed is a quicker speed for speedier driving/drilling when resistance is low, among other applications depending on the job. The drill, however, does lose power when battery is low. It does not go dead all of a sudden, like I’ve read in other reviews. Battery charged in an hour, and drill was good to go at full power and torque.About the impact driver, what can I say? It does the job very nicely. I was changing an exterior light and the old screw was hard to take out. I used to take out these rusted screws with some vice wrench and twist until the thing would come out, but this would take several minutes per screw. I used the impact driver and it pulled out the screw with no trouble at all in a snap, of course, holding the impact driver at the right angle! Note also this tool comes with variable speed on the trigger for slower driving where needed.The fact that these drills are cordless is ideal for electritians. You may owe a corded drill, but if you’re working on receptacles and charges where you must turn down power, you need a very long extension. These cordless drills more than make up for this fact in convenience and time saving.What can I say? As price is fluctuating between 224 and 300+, get it while it’s at a good price. I highly recommend these tools as stand alone or in this combo kit.As comparison against Makita, Milwaukee has a 5 year warranty on their products, against 3 Makita offers. About quality, I don’t know much. I’ve never owned anything Makita brand.I’m very pleased with this purchase and would advise any pro or home owner to own these particular tools.

Perfect set for an amateur like me
I’ve been getting plenty of use out of this set doing home renovations and I’m loving this kit. If you’re a pro you’ll probably want to look at the FUEL line, but for me these are prefect. Nice and small compared to my old DeWalt NiCd 18v (that gave out on me after about 6 years of faithful service) but feels like it has just as much power. I even prefer the bag over the hard cases as there’s room to keep a few extra items inside.PROsLight and compact.Feels VERY solid and well built.LED lights come in handy more than I thought they would.Nice to have a battery gauge.If get any 12v Milwaukee tools, you only need 1 charger for both battery types.Quick charging and decent battery life.Keyless chuck on drill and quick lock on driver feel really goodCONs- The charger doesn’t have rubber feet (it was sliding around a lot), but that was an easy fix- The trigger on the driver takes some getting used to. I accidentally sunk a screw clean through strip I was fixing to a wall. A 2 speed setting like the drill would have been nice. For some jobs there’s almost too much power- I have big hands and sometimes find it fiddly to hit the forward position switch.- I though it odd it only came with 1 belt clip, but I’m usually using a holster on my tool belt anyway- Not really a CON but the tools were too small for my old 18v holster but too big for most 12v holsters. Took a while to find one that held it snugly without hitting the trigger.Unless you’re a pro and have very specific needs, I think you’ll be very happy with this kit.

Exceeded expectations.
I bought this set to replace a failing B&D Industrial cordless driver that had worked like a champ for a lot of years.Admittedly the only reason I chose the Milwaukee set over a Bosch set was the availability of a small vacuum that used the same battery pack. I am glad I did.The drill/driver is compact and very well balanced. I’ve used it for quite a few projects over the past 9 months and it has been up to every task I’ve thrown at it. The clutch seems to be very consistent with little variance even after driving multiple consecutive fasteners.The impact driver is a gem. Compact, light, balanced and powerful I’ve used it to bust off corroded exhaust fasteners and to drive 4″ deck screws. (NOTE: this is an impact driver, not an impact wrench. i.e. It doesn’t produce enough torque to tighten down wheel lug nuts.)My two favorite features of the impact driver are 1. The LED that lights the work area. 2. The variable speed/variable torque trigger. This is more useful than you would first think.The case does what it should and has space for the charger and a third battery if you need one.The batteries are also very, very nice. Compact but with a very useful run-time. Unlike NiCad batteries, LiIon batteries give you all or nothing. Whereas a NiCad will slowly lose power and fade out these batteries will give you full power until they are spent so, Milwaukee has provided a gauge on the battery pack so you can tell how much of a charge is left.>If you buy this set do yourself a favor and also buy the Milwaukee compact vacuum. I hesitantly >bought it at the recommendation of a friend. It seemed gimicky and useless but it is so well >designed and built that it gets used more than either the drill or driver.I think this is the first product I’ve given a full five stars to, I can’t think of any fault or issue.Pros: price, great batteries, balanced, LED light, compact, included case, optional vacuum.Cons: still looking.

Use it and abuse it
Ive had this set for about a year now and these tools are great. I had a small issue with the drill chuck comming out but it was covered under warranty and I suspect it was a rare occurance, partially due to using the drill to mix thinset with a paddle mixer. I use these tools on a daily basis and they have held up well. I have had employees drop them off roofs, ladders, and general bouncing around with no issues. This is a professional quality tool and can handle tough situations and some abuse. The impact driver is a thing of beauty and everyone who uses it is amazed at the torque the tool puts out. Its also really compact. The batteries are the compact models but seem to last a fairly long time and charge quickly. The larger batteries will also fit the tool if necessary. If you arnt familiar with lithium batteries, these are the way to go. They have pretty much full power untill they are completly drained.For the price of these tools I would recomend them to anyone. They are clearly professional grade, but these are two tools you will use often even if you dont use them professionally. Its also really nice to be able to drill with one and drive with the other if you are working with hardwoods.

Milwaukee is probably the best
I bought this after getting my other Milwaukee drill stolen on a jobsite. I live Milwaukee and buy mostly all their products including clothing and work gloves.. 10 / 10 would recommend

Best drill driver set for the money
I have an aging Dewalt cordless drill whose batteries would not hold their charge. Doing a cost/benefit analysis, it seemed to make sense to get a new drill rather then buy new batteries which are really pricey. In researching the options on Amazon, I came across this Milwaukee drill/driver combo. I couldn’t believe the price, and the reviews were on the whole very strong. So I took the plunge, spending slightly more than I would have if I just purchased the drill.I’ve never used an impact driver before, and it is quickly becoming indispensable. You can’t believe the power in this little package – no more torqing out, damaged screw heads, and the like. Now it will take a little time to feel what each drill is best at, but for sheer driving power of screws and bolts, the impact driver is unbelievable.The drill is also very good, though my only complaint is that the speed switch can stick a little going between the 1st and 2nd gears. I’ll have to keep an eye on that.All in all, they feel great in the hand, the batteries seem to have decent life, and I like the battery life indicator lights, a feature my old Dewalt never had. Great products, great value!

Drill and driver is a good purchase if all you want is the drill and driver…
As far as the drill and driver are concerned they seem to be well built as you would expect from Milwaukee, nice, compact and powerful.The product is misrepresented on Amazon though. As shown with the durable case for transporting, this is not what you get! you will receive a useless canvas bag that does not protect the contents.Also for people living in smaller communities that do not have home delivery this product does not ship to a Post Office box and yet they use the Postal service as a means of getting you your item, go figure?

Batteries are GARBAGE
Bought this, and had RED/GREEN flashing lights when tried to charge batteries for the 1st time (means faulty or damaged battery) Returned. Got a 2nd set. SAME THING!! Did some deep diving (thanks internet).. seems the batteries will not charge when they sit too long and go below a certain power level. Theres ways to fix this, if you give them a “boost” with another power source, etc. WHO SHOULD HAVE TO DO THIS AFTER SPENDING 300 ON A DRILL SET?? No one.. thats who. Good bye Milwaukee.. Hello DeWalt.
