I’ve moved this kit to the top of my pile as my most-used set of drills. This drill kit gets a crushing 5 out of 5 stars, no doubt about it. The charger will have these 5 amp-hour batteries charged in about 15-20 minutes.Īll in all this is an incredible combination of power and usefulness. I have a growing pile of batteries in my work-van so being able to pull one up and push a button to see the charge level is a huge time-saver. The fact that they all come standard with an LED fuel gauge is a must-have. I even broke them out on my mini circular saw, and hackzall and they kept a charge for the nearly the entire day under heavy use. I ran both of these drills at moderate use for several days without needing a charge on either of them. This kit comes with (2) 18v Red-Lithium Ion 5-amp-hour batteries, and let me tell you, they are stout. If you haven’t tried Milwaukee yet, THIS IS THE DRILL SET YOU WANT!!!! The Batteries It really does everything I need, and it’s stout and powerful. I also use this impact with a 5/16” hex bit, or a phillips or square bit when working in and out of panels and light fixtures. The regular drill works better for this, but the impact makes short work of it when you don’t want to walk around to get your other drill for a simple hole. I also use this to drill holes through wood when I’m in a pinch. I use this drill with a Milwaukee Impact stepped bit (uni-bit where I’m from) to drill holes in panels, as well as with regular drill bits to do the same. Each of these modes is noticeably different and serves a specific purpose. You have 4 speeds, from slow and low torque 1, to fast and high torque 3, with a 4th mode specifically for putting screws in.

What I really like about this specific impact drill is that there are multiple “sensitivity settings” on the base of the tool. With an impact drill you can do almost everything you need as an electrician, there’s really no need to carry around a heavy hammer drill everywhere you go. I probably use this drill more than any other, including the hammer-drill above. Included in this combo-kit is an 18v FUEL Brushless Impact Driver with a 1/4″ drive. I can tell the precision and thoughtfulness of design has been well-thought out and perfectly executed. It has a great feel when carrying it, without being annoyingly heavy or bulky. It does all of these with extreme ease and impressive power.

It is a combination of all 3 drills – so you can use it to drill through masonry with the hammer feature, drill holes in studs with the drill feature, and drive screws with the screw gun setting. It still has the drill, and screw features on it so it is not strictly a hammer drill. The drill has 2 speeds like most drills of it’s design. I was shocked at how insanely fast the motor spins, and how smoothly it detects variances in applied pressure to the trigger. I had to drive some concrete sleeve anchors into a brick wall so I could strap down my flexible conduit from an Air Conditioner to the nearby AC Disconnect. The first thing I got to use on an actual job-site was the hammer drill. (I never use these on any of my hammerdrills, but some people do so it’s nice that it’s included. The kit comes with an 18v FUEL brushless hammer-drill, an 18v FUEL brushless impact driver (drill), an 18v charger, 2 Red-Lithium XC 5 amp-hour batteries, and a handle attachment for the hammer drill. Upon opening the package I was immediately impressed. I was stoked to open this case up and let them rip! So how did they do on the job? Here we go… I’ve been waiting for quite awhile to test out a new set of Milwaukee FUEL drills.
