The go-to drill for professionals who need serious power in a compact package. Dominates in torque, hammer drilling, and runtime, it's the drill serious tradespeople actually buy.
It never hesitated when drilling large holes through wood and concrete.
Plumbers, electricians and other trades that do a lot of metalwork love Milwaukee tools because the powerful tools are great at boring holes and ripping through metal.
As a contractor and tradesman over the last 40 years I started with the Makita 9.6 volt stuff then moved to DeWalt and finally ended up with Milwaukee about 15 years ago with their V18 series. I currently own about 50 Milwaukee M18 and M12 tools and couldn't be happier.
Milwaukee has a lot of power in their motors and more niche tools than Dewalt.
DeWalt's flagship heavy-duty cordless drill is a job-site workhorse with 820 in-lbs of torque and three speed settings. Carpenters and general contractors consistently reach for yellow on tough framing and construction tasks.
The highest maximum torque rating (500 in-lbs) of any 18V brushed drill, and it crushed the competition in high-torque tests by completing 20% more bored holes than second place. Best-in-class performance at a mid-range price.
Makita's pro-grade 18V brushless drill delivers contractor-level durability with ergonomics that tradespeople rave about. The LXT platform is massive, and Makita's build quality is legendary on job sites worldwide.
800 in-lbs of torque and a 4.0Ah battery in a kit that pros say performs like Milwaukee and Makita at a fraction of the price. Backed by Home Depot's Lifetime Service Agreement, the best warranty deal in the category.
