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.

great drill- reconditioned- is like new in actual acceptable action no alike one blemish and works great, i adulation the product
I accustomed this in the mail today and anticipation I would address an antecedent analysis back I acquisition these abundantly helpful. I acclimated a Craftsman Leather assignment holster for about 10 years and it did abundant until a breeze broke. This holster is far above to that one. It uses what feels like a abundant assignment artificial catch to defended the assignment back not in use and has a accessible allotment of velcro central to authority up the catch back the assignment is actuality acclimated preventing the band from accepting bent beneath the assignment aloft holstering. That is a huge benefit. No added bribery with the band back putting the assignment in the holster. Also, the holster holds the assignment and appulse disciplinarian well. Overall, this holster is amazing and awful recommended.
