Tools and Hardware Reviews of Milwaukee 0299-20 Magnum 8 Amp 1/2-Inch Drill
Customer Review: Beat the crap out of it and its still working perfect
Summary: 5 Stars
A mentor of mine and one of the best engineering minds I knew told me in his 35 year career he only bought Milwaukee and I took his advice when buying a new drill for my house.
I bought this drill, and pounded on it for a few weeks building heavy duty wood projects and never had an issue. I even was dropped 5 feet onto concrete and is still running perfect, almost cried watching it fall but was too far to catch it. I will always be a fan of the keyed chuck, it takes more time but the bit always holds, my fathers Sears brand drills always had them, and I have an 18V cordless drill that isn't keyed and it gets rather annoying. The transmission case is heavy metal, the body is plastic, some people complained it was made out of plastic, well that's they way of the world.
I am concerned like another person over the reverse switch, it does seem weak, but it doesn't take much to switch so I will just be more careful with it.
I like the fact the cord can be easily replaced, though looking at the cord I don't think its going to need that for awhile.
Much like Pabst my choice of beers is no longer brewed in Milwaukee, I was very disappointed to see this was made in China, but what isn't.
All in all, great drill.
Description of Milwaukee 0299-20 Magnum 8 Amp 1/2-Inch Drill
8.0 Amp motor, 0 to 850 rpm, variable speed control. All metal gear case and diaphragm. Heavy-duty keyed chuck. 360° locking side handle. 8' 3-wire rubber cord. Ergonomic textured grip, two finger trigger for user comfort & balance. Tool weight 5.4 lbs.Power, power, power is what you get. The all-metal gear case and diaphragm add a little heft to Milwaukee's drill, but the performance is unbeatable. Further, for such a heavy drill, it sits nicely in hand, thanks to the ergonomic grip and comfortable, longer trigger. Kudos to Milwaukee designers for placing the reversing switch at your trigger fingertip. The all-metal keyed chuck is built for a long work life and will see thousands of half-inch shank bits in its time. You?ll love the included side handle if you?re going to be working this tool for any length of time, as it is a heavy piece. It's a workhorse. The quality is unsurpassed.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste
