Just why?

As a weekend carpenter, I use ancient Bosch 18V impact drivers for almost everything, including drilling holes on occasion. But for big holes, I like the Milwaukee 18v 2903 1/2” drill. I bought the 2807 18V hole hawg for plumbing rough ins. I didn’t read the reviews about how it’s garbage compared to XXXXX. It’s pretty awesome and has kicked *** on everything I’ve used it for.

Point is: @Wamsutta, you know better. Get the right tool for the job. No multi tools. If you want a drill buy a drill.

Its designed to be used for light duty stuff and in applications where switching between tasks is useful. For stuff like cabinet installation, it is the right tool for the job, especially when clearance is tight.

Why- guaranteed you cant squarely drive a screw .75" in a corner w your full size drill.

Or drill a hole in a 6" gap

Both of these are doable w this driver. Is it a specialty driver that should likely backup a full size drill/impact- yes

It's a excellent option for finer and odd drilling situations, very versatile, and a better buy then the Festool equivalent.
