Milwaukee Drill Difference

[D45]

I am looking at some Milwaukee cordless drills, what is the difference:

2704-20
2703-20
2702-20

2606-20
2607-20

 

[D45]

2607-20 is a motor with brushes and isn't listed as "hammer drill/driver"

This is listed as compact drill/driver

500 in-lbs of torque and up to 1,800 RPM

An all-metal gear case and 1/2" metal chuck

Milwaukee® 4-Pole Frameless Motor

LED light

0-400/ 0-1,800 RPM

3 pounds

2606-20

This is listed as a compact drill/driver

500 in-lbs of torque and up to 1,800 RPM

An all-metal gear case and 1/2" metal chuck

Milwaukee® 4-Pole frameless motor

LED light

0-400/ 0-1,800 RPM

2.9 pounds

SO can I assume that the 2606 and 2607 drills are not brushless and are 2 speeds?

I am looking for a drill to match my Milwaukee 2750-20 impact, which has Redlink and Brushless features

D45 Hi,

I am a little confused by your question, perhaps if you started telling us what it is you are looking for in a drill?

Do you want a heavy duty power for larger jobs? Do you want a drill that is lightweight and will not give your arms a workout ? Are you looking for something that holds a charge for a longer time? A drill that can take on concrete 24/7 ? Something that will be only used for drilling in steel ? Something that you only want to use from time to time etc.?

If I were in your shoes instead of getting 100 different replies I would go directly to the source and give Milwaukee a call and ask their technical dept. they should be able to give you the answers that you are looking for.

I don't know the part numbers off the top of my head but I can tell you this. I bought my first M18 tools in 2011. The typical full kit with the 1/2" combo 2 spd hammer drill. I just recently bought a new fuel to replace that one as somebody who shall remain nameless let the smoke out of it. Just last weekend I have several (3/16 pilot) 1/2" holes to drill in 1/2" steel and all though it performed incredible, I'm not totally sold on if it warrants the price of admission over even the original stuff. But granted I haven't really paid attention to battery usage or anything other then just flat out ability to perform a task....your results may vary

I am looking for a new cordless drill...........homeowner use for various projects

I want it to match my Milwaukee 1/4 impact 18V platform, so I don't have to buy another charger or another battery

I have a corded hammer drill that I will break out, when and if I need the hammer drill power

It seems like I won't be happy with the 2600 series

The 2702 seems to be the oldest of the 2700 line

The 2703 and 2704 are nearly identical

The 2703 is $129.00 and the 2704 is $149.00

I think the 2703 is not a hammer drill

 

[D45]

The 2703 only has 2 settings: drill and driver

The 2704 has 3 settings: the 2 mentioned above and a third of a hammer. This allows you to drill into brick, concrete, masonry, etc., properly with a vibration or hammering effect.

I'm not sure what is going on in this thread.

The 2704-20 FUEL 1/2" hammer drill is probably your best bet. It is frequently "matched" with the 2753-20 FUEL 1/4" impact driver in Milwaukee kits. The 2703-20 is fine, but adding the hammer function for only $20 more seems to make sense. I choose FUEL anytime that a FUEL version is available, though the others are fine DIY tools too.

Any M18 battery will fit any M18 tool., so it's really hard to get it wrong.

I guess, if you like sloppier chucks and slightly longer/heavier tools, totally worth the $20 [emoji19]

The 2703 is an amazing drill. I save any stone-like drilling for the SDS. Hammer drills are a JOKE!

If you want a brushless, focus on the Fuel line. If it does not say Fuel, it likely has brushes.

For occasional use, the hammer function of the 2704-20 works fine. I've driven over 40 tapcons with it. True, it's no SDS, but many here can't justify buying one of those for the once-in-a-while use.
