Tools and Hardware Reviews of Milwaukee 0824-24 18-Volt Lithium-Ion Hammer Drill Kit
Customer Review: built like a tank
Summary: 5 Stars
i use a dewalt 18v at work all the time because it's what we have, but when i work for myself this is what i use. it's solid as hell that's for sure.
the bad: it's heavy. the hammerdrill isn't very powerful. the clutch has slipped a couple times for me. make sure it's tight first!
the good: it's heavy duty. it's as powerful as you're likely to need in the non-hammerdrill mode.
i haven't tried the milwaukee compact drill/driver, but i might err on the side of getting that unless you really want to have a hammerdrill and will only use it for small holes (under 3/8") in masonry. if you're going to use a hammerdrill more than once in a while i would definitely recommend going with a corded hammerdrill or rotary hammer. if you're using it a lot then go with a bosch bulldog ($220), if not then go with the bosch hammerdrill that goes for about $120.
overall i'm happy with the purchase. it does what i need it to do and then some. versatile and should last a long time.
updated: 12/11/10 - still going strong. total beast. heavier than the compact version by milwaukee and makita, but this is more powerful.
Customer Review: buy it
Summary: 5 Stars
its tough, it lasts all day, its comfortable, i sat i next to my bosses dewalt and it over shadowed his 18v i drill stuff he cant i drive screws he cant and i do on one battery what he needs two for, i can drill concrete as fast as his plug in hammer drill, he needs multiple drills to do what my one drill can do if your looking for a new drill this is the oneCustomer Review: perfect in every way! Yes, it is a little heavy but because it's built!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this because I've always found I can depend on all my Milwalkee tools and this one beats them all.
I was warned to stay away from the V28 model because of motor failures and when compairing the two they
almost match. Both V18 and V28 batteries are rated at 3.0 amps, this is what counts not having more volts.
Anyway the ratching 1/2 inch chuck is one of the best I used, the steel gear box with all steel gears will out last the cheaper plastic models but it does add to the weight. The best part of this package is the Lithium-Ion battery, they hold charge while sitting so always ready, a meter on the battery tells how much is remaining so you can have an idea were you stand. Also Lith-Ion cells keep almost full power to the end of each charge, you won't find it slowing down slowly getting weaker, it will just crash. 5 year warr. on the cells with a 2 year 1000 charge replacment. A chip is built in to each battery stamping the first charger date, then counts each charge. This way if you have a claim the factory can tell when it went into service and how many times you charged it. What will they think of next?
