I did have a problem with the drill a while back.
MILWAUKEE HAMMER DRILL IMPACT DRIVER COMBO INSTALL
I’ve just recently started using the drill in it’s driving mode to install pocket hole screws and it works very well. I learned to put the auxiliary handle on for bits over 3/4′ as without it you can really torque your wrist. I have used the drill a lot drilling holes for electrical and pluming with auger bits and hole saws. It can be a little difficult to get screws started until you get used to how fast the driver spins with very little trigger pressure. The tools only downside is that the speed is really touchy. The impact driver has driven everything I’ve put it on with the exception of some 1/2″ x 8″ lags which in all fairness is a lot to ask of a 1/4″ tool. I go to it even for drilling since I have a lot of ball-deten hex shank drill bits. The impact driver is incredibly handy and gets most of the use. I’ve been using this set for several years. I bought mine for $228 and see that now they’re going for $219. I believe the Milwaukee is the better tool overall.This kit came with M12/M18 charger, 1/4″ Impact, 1/2″ hammer drill/driver, (2) large M18 3 amphour Redlithium batteries, and a carry bag.I have no foreseeable problems with this set and am very happy with my choice. Also the way the batteries clip into the tool or charger. The drill was also similar but the chuck was much more variable and versatile on the Milwaukee. The impact driver was very similar between the two brands.

Since then I’ve changed jobs and have used the Redlithium Milwaukee kit.So when deciding on what to buy for weekends, it came down to these two brands.
MILWAUKEE HAMMER DRILL IMPACT DRIVER COMBO UPGRADE
It is still going strong, but I decided to upgrade to lithium ion and an impact driver.Until six months ago, I had been using a lithium Dewalt set with virtually no issues. In fact, I’ve owned it for close to 10 years now and have only replaced the batteries on it once (2 years ago). I have an old ni/cad dewalt 18 volt kit at home which has served my very well and does not owe me a thing. I read a lot of rewiews so I’ll write this as to answer the questions that I had about this product.I am an electrician by trade, and have used a large variety of drill/impact kits over the years. The bag was designed with no thought at all.

How about a couple of pouches/sleeves? Trying to zip the bag shut may well lead to utterance of an expletive or two. I don’t anticipate it to be a use/longevity issue but it’s a scritchy-ness I could do without.The LED is fine on the impact…its much shorter body making that true.I appreciate the tools coming with a carrying bag, but it could be a LOT more useful with not too much effort. If that was their intent, they did an excellent job!The chuck on the Driver/Hammer is less than smooth. It seems Milwaukee actually TRIED in their design to NOT illuminate the work surface. If you work in the proximity of something flammable…buy the Fuel/brushless series.The LED light on the Driver/Hammer unit is pointedly useless. There is a LOT more arcy-sparky from the brushes than I’ve seen with any other battery operated tools (I’ve used Makita and DeWalt). The 3.0AH batteries perform well, recharge quickly. Happy to finally get it!I’ve used the two tools on only a couple of jobs, but they have performed well. I’ve had this kit on my want list for a LONG time.
