Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - nice size and power, BATTERIES NOT COMPATIBLE AND SHORT WARRANTY
Milwaukee is a great company. Or maybe WAS a great company. I love this tool, but wish I could return it. It's not defective, but Milwaukee definitely misleads you about warranty and compatibility.

The tool carries a 5 year warranty, and they have 5 year warranties on their 18V LI batteries... but not on THESE 18V LI batteries. THIS tool (and all compact 18V tools) has only a 2 year battery warranty, which is NOT mentioned on the box (where the 5 year warranty is prominent). In fact, ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - MILWAUKEE 2601 A WINNER
Well, the first words I think of for this review is wow! I'm struggling to find fault with it. I'm not new to drills either. I have a Makita BDF451Z, Makita 18V NIMH (forget the Model), DeWalt DC925, Bosch 18V Beast, Bosch Screw Driver, Panasonic 12 V NIMH, Ridgid 12 volt standard and angle drill, and a couple more.

I like the reversing switch unlike others. Just lift your knuckle up and it's there. But to each his own.

The variable speed is incredibly precise! It does ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent tool!
I am a handyman by trade, and use this tool almost daily. I graduated from Milwaukee's 14.4v, and this is more compact for getting into tight spots, lighter and more powerful. The added features of a built-in light and belt clip are great! The battery power level indicator is great for planning ahead for charging needs. The little bit holder could be placed a bit further inboard though, as the one of the bits can catch on clothes, etc. and fall out.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Best Compact Drill
Ordered the Milwaukee 18v Compact Drill driver and selected 2 day shipping as I was in middle of project. Got the drill in 2 days and it is the best drill I have ever owned. Lots of power, easy to hang onto, can get into some small places. I absolutely love this drill. Jim in Zapata Texas.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Very Good, but not Great
I like how light weight it is and I like the light. I have not used it very much yet and it may be that I am just not used to it. But to me it seems like the driver part is too fast. My older Ryobi unit seemed to be slower, but it stayed in the heads of screws better. With the Milwaukee 2601-22 I found myself stripping the heads off the screws because of the speed and I did have it set on speed 1 which is for the driver not the drill. If I predrilled the holes for the screws it worked fine though.
