this has everything you need in a corded drill; it is a beautifully engineered tool. I can't get over how it sounds (like a jet warming up).
We've had a similar model in our machine shop at work for well over 10 years. Well built. and i think about all's we've done is fix the trigger switch. Great drill with plenty of power. This is the drill to have when you want good variable speed control. It gets beat on (lots of holes in steel plates, covered in oily chips,.).
Oh, it is heavy too.My old friend has had this model drill for 20 years. I don't know if quality has suffered, it seems fine to me. A heavy duty long lasting wonder drill. google it, you'll find pros who have 20+ year old versions of this drill.The only downside is that it is now made in China instead of Mexico and before that it was made in the USA; you'll see the cost is lower now than it was long ago as a result.
5 Stars for now. Construction looks good but I have yet to put it to use. I am very disappointed. I specifically bought this brand because everyone said they were made in the good old US of A. I really need this drill or else I would return it. I hope it is just as good as the ones made in the USA but I have my doubts.
Very sad that this is the direction that our country is headed in.Everything works so far. But mine says MADE IN CHINA. I would have gladly paid $40 more for a drill made in the USA. The box says 5 year warranty. Why Milwaukee. I bought the 0234-6 last week from Amazon and I just got it.
Why. I will keep this review updated and report any issues I have with it.
It's powerful - way more powerful than I have needed so far. Overall, I'm really glad I bought this drill. It's kind of heavy for me - I am typically using it for repetitive tasks, but the support handle that comes with the drill works wonders to eliminate wrist fatigue. It worked SO well. I am so proud of myself for looking on Amazon at all these glowing reviews and taking the plunge to buy it (and modest too). So, the Milwaukee drill was my very first power tool. I've used it with various bits on wood (oak, birch, pine, plywood) and on clay to drill a hole in the bottom of a beautiful glazed clay pot that I wanted to turn into a planter. Putting the bits in is SO simple and the forward/reverse switch is conveniently located right next to the trigger.
