Summary: Great Drill !!!
Comment: Bought this drill to replace same type, earlier model on which the chuck got stuck (it's a long sad story). This drill is quieter and smoother running than my old Magnum. It is heavy, and super heavy duty. It can crank out the power for long periods of time without overheating. I almost smoked my battery powered drill doing some drilling through a header beam, but was able to finish the drilling with the Milwaukee with no problem whatsoever. It has torque to spare - be sure to use the handle attachment when using large bits, or the drill will have you spinning in circles!

Summary: Indestructible!
Comment: I have had this drill for about 4 years now, and it still works great. It has been dropped many times, and looks terrible from all the ware, but nothing has come loose, and there are no cracks on the exterior. The power is incredible, but if you are not careful you will break many screws. I plan on buying many more Milwaukee tools.

Summary: Can you imagine if they made it with batteries
Comment: A dream come after using these drills for 10 years would be make them rechargeable. That's it no other changes required and please don't make any.
We use these drills until they get so hot we can't hold onto them. Even when they have been so hot the red plastic has turned brown from heat they keep running an running.
We have a Milwaukee Hole Hawg also. When it will not get into a spot we have to put a 4" or 5" or 6" hole saw on the 234 and it performs every time.
When threading holes we end up slamming them from forward to reverse they still last for years. The drill will run a 1/2" NC Tap though 1" aluminum.
We did try 2 of the models that ran at the slower 650rpm. The gear case broke in both of them.
We use to use the Makita 6013 and found them to power full. The Milwaukee has just enough power for any job but it will still stall out before it wraps ones arms up like pretzels.

Summary: hard working drill & great option to expensive right angle drills
Comment: I have used many Milwaukee tools in the past and have always been very satisfied with their quality. Never more so than with this Magnum Hole shooter Milwaukee 0234-6 Magnum 5.5 Amp 1/2-Inch Drill. Great stuff! Truly the way corded drills SHOULD be made. I have done enough tight angle drilling (electrical and plumbing work) to realize the necessity of the right tool for the right job (RTRJ as a my brother's father-in-law always says). While I've have used Milwaukee's right angle drills (and you can't pass them up for their pure power), however I really don't need one day-in and day-out to justify an expensive single-use right angle drill. Plus after having finally pushed my trusted old Bosch 1005VSRK 5.5 Amp 3/8-Inch Drill the breaking point, I was in the market for a straight corded drill too. Not wanting to spend so much on a dedicated tool and looking for the flexibility of a convertible drill I found a perfect solution in the Milwaukee 48-06-2871 Right Angle Drive Unit Attachment for Milwaukee Drills 0234-6 and 0244-1 Only. This right angle drive unit can be fitted onto either of two drills: this drill the 850 rpm Milwaukee 0234-6 Magnum 5.5 Amp 1/2-Inch Drill or the 600 rpm Milwaukee 0244-1 Magnum 5.5 Amp 1/2-Inch Drill. While yes, on paper the 5.5 amps of power is not the same as the 7 amps in the Milwaukee right angle drills, but I have to say that I have found that it is unstoppable! This right angle drive unit is the EXACT same head/right angle unit that is used on any of the dedicated right angle drills... all you are doing is putting it on a different drill/power unit. And best of all it has the flexibility of using as a regular drill or take 3 minutes to install/remove the right angle drive unit and you are ready to drill tons of holes in any number of tight areas! As is Milwaukee's reputation, both the drill and the right angle drive unit are solidly built and have a good feel. I would highly recommend the drill to anyone and (unless perhaps you are a tradesman) I would suggest saving the $100 plus giving yourself added flexibility and buying the drill and right angle drive unit to solve any and all of your drilling needs.

Summary: plan on having this for a long time...
Comment: So far, the two Milwaukee tools I have purchased (the 12v compact driver as well as this drill) have impressed me. The things that have impressed me most of all have been the trigger control, although the power and solid feel are right up there.
I really value a drill/driver that I can fine-tune the controls to the point that I can use it as a ratchet with the trigger. The magnum does that very well, with plenty of power to spare on tap if I just squeeze.
The magnum is quite heavy, but it has an all-metal gear housing as well as a very solid 1/2" chuck...I don't mind it because it isn't a cordless tool and cordless are the only tools I really care about being really light.
