Professional, high qaulity tools, from a reliable, well known brand.
I am a professional tradesman and project manager.
I have been in the trade long enough to know what to expect from good power tool brands.
Milwaukee is now owned by Hong Kong Electrical Tool Company. The quality is still top of the range. These are industrial quality, hard-working tools for professional tradesman. Likewise though these are also tools with an intuitive design for the DIY enthusiast for use in their garage, or home workshop.
As a skilled artisan and trades person, I am inclined to purchase tools which will work for the job; those which therefor facilitate the ease of completing the job.

Very powerful drill, excellent quality!!
2 of 2 found this helpful I'm a tradesman with more than 30 years of very varied work experience.(steel, concrete, timber framing, building, roofing, civil construction, plumbing, electrics)
In my experience, never use any of these type of drills in the high speed selection mode when drilling into thick masonry with a diamond cutter or masonry drill bit, even an SDS bit.
The drill has a very powerful clutch, but I recommend using it as with all others of the 1200 watt model, or a lower wattage,in low gear ratio.
I had an extremely powerful two-speed AEG with AVS for many years, it lasted until the switch packed up after 15 years of constant use.
If you want your drill to last, look after it.
Use the lowest gear ratio, i.e. 1. for thick masonry, and pretty much for any type of diamond cutting work, as the diamonds also last longer when not overheated.
I would recommend buying the one here with a higher wattage, as the motor will give you far better performance for heavy work.

Milwaukee industrial tools.
Milwaukee tools are high-grade industrial quality. I am a tradesman with more than 30 years experience, now in my mid 40's, someone who knows and expects the most from quality products, which I require in order to work properly.
I buy tried and trusted industrial power tools and top quality hand tools for personal use and for trade use on a daily basis, because cheap alternatives do not last on building sites.
The Milwaukee brand has been known to me for many years now and like the brands of other high quality competitors, it performs excellently on job-sites. I am in the process of purchasing other used Milwaukee power tools for site work. This particular item has been used, but is in an excellent working condition.
