Factory-Reconditioned Milwaukee 0522-84 18-Volt 1/2-Inch T-Handle Drill/Driver with Two Batteries, Charger and Case

Comment: As the owner of a stone house, I need to have a drill like this just to hang stuff on my walls. And it does the job. From satellite dishes to picture frames (outside and in) it can drill through the toughest rock -- and better than the competitors tools. The hammer function works great and the batteries have a good long use time when fully charged. I've also used it for drywall and cabinet installations. And I use it most heavily for maintainance on stalls, doors, and other hardware on my barn and feneces.

Comment: I have used the factory-reconditioned Milwaukee #0522-84 18-Volt 1/2" T-Handle Driver/Drill purchased on Amazon.com for the past two months. It is a great tool! The chuck works well and the tool has the power to let me keep on working when others are swapping out their battery packs. I have used this tool to drive screws through over 20 pallets of a drystack concrete brick product, and it was well up to the task.

Comment: And the price break for buying it reconditioned helps too! I love this drill because it has all the POWER I have been looking for but never found in a cordless. Having 2 batteries is a real plus as well, for obvious reasons. However; if you are the occasional-honey-do-list-guy, this drill may not be for you. It is pretty heavy compared to most. One really cool thing the manufacturer did to compensate was that they made the battery clip on either way. This changes the weight balance and ehances clearance into difficult areas. The only problem I am having with this product is that my brother desperately wants one and they are back-ordered!

Comment: I am a new homeowner with constant repairs, and projects. The repairs included building a large fence to close in my back yard. I use the tool for almost any job around the house. It has inspired me to try other projects including building a deck. The drill as the most power I have ever seen in a cordless tool and I look forward to increasing my Milwaukee tool collection.
-also the all metal chuck never slips, unlike other drills I've used.
