Milwaukee 2505-22 M12 Fuel Installation Drill/Driver Kit, Compact, Forward/Reverse Switch, Keyless Chuck, LED Light, Variable Speed

This is like the tool you never knew you needed until you got one, and now I can't believe I ever lived without one of these things!! Are you going to build a whole house with it? No, but if you are building a house you won't believe how many things this thing comes in handy for. Any kind of cabinet work is a million times easier. Tight spots...no problem. Around corners...done! It comes with an angled head, a regular drill chuck and an impact head, a couple batteries and a charger. It has an adjustable friction clutch for all chucks, it's compact, but yet powerful, and variable speed trigger with a hi and low range. Get yourself a carabiner with some hex bit holders on it, a set of hex drills and some hex screw bits and throw them all in the handy case, and you're all set for just about anything. I never thought I'd give up using my regular cordless drills all the time, but now I find myself reaching for this 90% of the time. Again, this tool isn't for something like driving deck screws, but for small tight stuff it is indispensable. I also got a small set of hex sockets that I keep in the case on a carabiner, so now small "some assembly required" projects are a snap too. I can't even keep this thing in my shop because I keep bringing it back into the house; I just leave it inside now. It's really that useful. When I first got it I thought it might be kind of a gimmick, but I figured I'd give it a shot. Since then it's probably one of the best small power tool decisions I've ever made. I highly recommend.

Excellent tool in every respect. However, a cautionary tale: When it arrived one of the batteries charged fine, but the other triggered a rapid red and green flashing light on the recharger, indicating a battery failure. I reported it to the seller, who promptly said he'd send me a replacement--but then I asked Gemini if there was a fix, and it recommended trying a different outlet. Which worked, much to my chagrin. Great product and great seller, silly me.

I’m an iron worker, fabricator and I have the m18 tools, a lot of them. But I’ve been dabbling in some woodwork lately and wanted to put together a lightweight m12 kit. It saves a lot of space in for sure compared to a full sized m18 drill and 5ah batteries. I think I’ll find a lot of uses for this installation driver. Excellent for honey do type jobs, hanging stuff on walls, putting together miscellaneous whatnot. I can see it being handy while doing automotive work too. Haven’t ridden it really hard, but that’s not really what it’s made for. Plenty of torque though if needed and the clutch is easy to fine tune so you don’t strip screws out or over sink them. I typically throw the oversized hard boxes Milwaukee tools come in, but I like this bag the kit came with, when you pull the tool and charger out, it stores the heads and it’s perfect for a set of 1/4” drive bits, level, stud finder and some screws for those nick nack installation or removal jobs. The magnet on the front is nice too.

I have had one of these tools for years and use it all the time. I carry 3 batteries and a bunch of drill bits, nut drivers and hex bits. I bought this for my son to carry in his new camp trailer.

I do maintenance at an apartment complex that’s spread out over three blocks so I do a lot of walking back and forth. I carry all of my tools in a tool backpack (Veto Propac). I used to carry my Milwaukee Fuel 18v impact in my bag and often would need to go to the shop to get my 18v drill when I needed to do some drilling. Since I got the Milwaukee installation tool I have dropped some weight in my bag and it fits more comfortably since the 12v tool is smaller. Also it has mostly cut out the need for me to go get my drill as I just use the drill chuck attachment instead. Now I still have to get my 18v drill for things like cutting door knob holes and drilling into concrete as this isn’t a hammer drill but it’s rare that I need to do those things so the 12v Milwaukee Installation tool has become my daily use power tool. It’s lighter, quieter and gets into more places with the right angle and offset attachments. Love this tool, especially the magnet on the front for holding different bits or even extra screws so I don’t have to worry about fishing through my pockets for one. Highly recommended. This tool is powerful and has no problem sinking 3” screws all the way down into solid wood. And it’s easier to use overhead since it’s lighter and smaller. This tool has made my life so much easier, thanks Milwaukee.

I knew what I was getting into. I actually own a Festool CXS and absolutely LOVE it. I reach for it way more often than my 18v Makita drill/driver and impact. I researched more economical alternatives so I'd have another that I could keep in the house and keep the CXS out in the shop and settled on this Milwaukee. Overall I'm very happy with it. The changeable chuck system is just like the Festool (in fact you get an offset chuck that only comes with the larger Festool drills) and is wonderful for dealing with all different kinds of situations. I knew the forward/reverse button was going to be a annoying and after using it a bit it is, but since I'm not using it all day every day it's not that big a deal and I don't mind. I will say I've found it's a little faster to change if you tap the trigger to wake the drill up and then press the button once will change from forward/reverse as opposed to it if it's been sitting you need to press the button multiple times so that little trick makes it a little better. I'm getting into the habit of reaching up with my thumb so it's not so bad. For the price this is a great little kit that can do a large part of the drilling/driving that I do on a daily basis. I'd still reach for something bigger if using a large spade bit or even a wired drill if mixing up some mortar/grout. I really, really don't understand why they didn't just port a normal button like every other drill has, though.

Very versatile combo kit works great handles well I’ve been impressed with the performance thus far

Lightweight and very versatile!

These kind of drills become a part of the furniture so easily you'll wonder how you managed without one

Full package received as shown in pictures. All items works as they should. Great.

Una gran adquisición, me ah facilitado gran cantidad de trabajos de instalación, gran calidad y desempeño en trabajos de no tan alta demanda lo que se espera de un M12

Cette outil est très versatile pour le prix ça vaut sa valeur et sa qualité de fabrication.

Ottimo prodotto, peccato per il caricabatterie che si e bruciato subito, ma dopo l'avviso al venditore del problema mi e venuto incontro con un rimborso per l'acquisto di un nuovo caricabatterie, TOP
