This Milwaukee drill is scarey

Until i seen the clutch work, I was thinking it would take out a shoulder if it hit a nail!

Edit: I cannot embed the video?

No more snapped wrists! That clutch is a awesome feature

I cannot find the inch pounds of torque that drill has anywhere. That thing has to be over 2,000 inch pounds.

Own it, and don't find it scary in the least, but then I've been using large right-angle drills almost every working day for 30+ years. Clutches on them are a fairly new idea. A little common sense goes a long way, or at least it should.

I grew up working summers with my father roughing in houses, and we ran a Milwaukee Hole Hawg with 2-3" and bigger wood boring bits. That thing would flat out break bones if you didnt respect it, and would throw you off a ladder without the least bit of provocation. Clutch feature would have been nice, but we learned quick not to screw around with that drill!

Yep! I got a Milwaukee 1/2 (no clutch) and will spin YOU around if it grabs in steel!

Once again showing there's little reason to buy any other brand. Not that I'm a Milwaukee addict or anything.

Nope just like my 120v version I've been using for 10 years now!

Bosch has already been there.

Good stuff Milwaukee. I used em over the years too, and at the end of a long week it is easy to forget the respect which that tool demanded. Less Work Comp is good.

They brace them against a hip demonstrating. In the real world your hip ain't there. The clutch sounds like a great feature. I bet the prices of used corded angle drills falls.

The secret to all these wonderful tools is the lithium ion battery technology.

Cordless tools were aggravating until the lithium ion battery came along.

I'm assuming if I haven't broken a wrist using a 1/2 Milwaukee hole shooter, the longer length (leverage) of a 90deg. and 18v isn't going to break me.
