Tools and Hardware Reviews of the Bare-Tool Milwaukee 2611-20 18-Volt Hammer Drill (Tool Only, No Battery)
Tool Review: hammer drill and chuck quality is suspect
Summary: 1 Stars
61 year old carpenter contractor with 40 years experience. Was impressed initially with this drill set up, especially the fact that unlike the Dewalt tools the grip is not made for a gorilla thus making it possible for fatigue-less drilling. This was one of the first tools of US American origin to get the ergonomics correct. HOWEVER
The very first time I used it in the heat (a 3K+ sq ft composite deck) at above 95 degrees the current shut off intermittently - likely due to the heat sensor in the onboard battery computer.
The second and most disturbing thing however was that having used it with no issues for a year and a half other than the heat issue, the very first real test of the hammer drill came needing to mount a lavey faucet and drilling a 1 3/8 hole through the tile and mortar. A medium/tough job for a $200 plus dollar drill and seemingly the very thing a hammer drill is designed for: It actually did finish but the chuck was broken at completion. A real disappointment. I have yet to deal with the Milwaukee folks for replacement -If they replace it as they should I will buy again... but we'll see.
