This one is like a corded rotary hammer in the same class, maybe stronger too!
I worked on a job where the company provided those instead of corded rotary hammer drills.
Considering the added abuse given by employees that (typically) do not care for an employers' tools like their own, the hammer drills have held up exceptionally well.
Six months of daily use and thousands of 1/2" holes drilled up through metal decking and then concrete for 3/8 drop in anchors (and then using the Powers Smart DI setting tool to set the anchor) without any tool maintenance is several DIY lifetimes.
That drill does **** down the battery though. You definitely want the 5.0 batteries, and performance drops noticeably once the battery hits 2 bars.
The ONLY cordless rotary hammer drill that may be a bit better is a HILTI, but the last time I used one it was made in Sweden, not China.
All of the Milwaukee tools provided performed exceptionally well, being used daily as corded tool replacements by employees that did not purchase them with their own money. None of them broke due to use/abuse and all withstood whatever drops were dished out.
We had these other tools provided (I didn't note the specific model numbers):
Milwaukee Fuel 18V impact driver (not the latest model)
Milwaukee Fuel Sawzall
Milwaukee Fuel 1/2" drill... and I never heard a single complaint about chuck wobble
Milwaukee bandsaw (3 versions: 18V Fuel Deep Cut, the non-fuel/non deep cut 18V and 12V versions)
There is a significant difference in tool treatment given by someone that buys the tools for their own use and someone that is given the tools to use. The tools that were provided held up, being used up to 10 hours a day, 6 days a week.
The current M18 and M12 Milwaukee tool lineup is indeed jobsite tough.
