Milwaukee 2401-22 12-Volt Li-Ion Compact Driver Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this Driver about one month ago.My experience with it is good.Long run time, good power, excellent chuck and a good feel.I also own the Bosch and like it a lot also...but I think the Milwaukee is a little better.

There is nothing to dislike about this tool.I read another review that was written by someone who does not own this tool and is repeating something he heard about reliability.How would you know if you do not own and use one?

The handle is not too big in my hand (5'10" 165 lbs) and the tool has a quality feel when you use it.

I'll update this after more usage, but in the first month, I am satisfied totally.

Update 8/28/2008
Further use of the Milwaukee driver has proven my original review. I still think this is just a little more tool than the Bosch.The chuck is a little more sophisticated and the power feels a little stronger.I like that Milwaukee is using this platform for new tools (M-Spector) and I hope to see more in the future.The battery gauge is a plus and this driver is a pleasure to use.Makita has just introduced a similar tool with even more torque and two speeds.Time will tell how the Makita stacks up against the competition, but you will not be sorry if you purchase this Milwaukee.I'd buy it again.
