Milwaukee's 1/2" Magnum Drill...Holy Crap!

I can't believe how powerful this drill is!! It has an 8.0 Amp motor that stops for no man.

It's almost useless as a screwdriver, since even if you blip the trigger it will still strip out whatever you are driving. it takes a while to spin down.

It's also very lightweight. i can use it with one hand, as if it were a light 3/8" rechargeable. I wouldn't recommend going one-handed if you are drilling something that might bite you-- this thing will twist your wrist something bad if you aren't careful.

I got the one with the grip-lock chuck. It's keyless and stout.

I like this drill so much, I might soon be looking at other Milwaukee power tools-- they seem to be very strong, well-made tools.

Now I just need to get that Orbital Super Sawzall--- (11 Amp motor!)
