Milwaukee 2415-21 M12 12-Volt 3/8-Inch Cordless Right Angle Drill/Driver Kit Review

Ok this is a very good tool. Milwaukee is very late to the small lithium market but they do appear to have done their homework. I really like the M12 line of Milwaukee tools.

I will focus my review by comparing the M12 to it's main competitor the Bosch PS10-2A both are meant to be lighter duty cordless right angle drill/drivers for tight jobs like installing under cabinet lighting or drawer handles. They are not meant for removing 3/8 lag bolts or other heavy construction needs.

The head length on the M12 is about the same as the Bosch, ok actually it is 1/4 inch longer but it has a ratcheting chuck so it can take drill bits of all kinds without the need for an adapter. the Bosh has a hex speed chuck so you have to use hex drill bits or an adapter which effectively increases the head length well beyond the M12. Both have extended paddle grips, and the grips are both on the chunky side. My in the hand opinion is the M12 feels just a bit thinner and easier to grab. Speed control is much better on the M12 the trigger is very linear and easy to control. The Bosch is very poor in this regard, more of an on/off experience. The Bosch is slightly shorter in overall tool length. I did not measure it but about an inch when configured for rt angle use. Both tools use an electronic clutch and both are awful!!! the lowest setting will still spin out of a philips head when in a tight corner. Mechanical clutch would add weight and some bulk so it is a compromise. the M12 has more torque (100 vs 80) and a higher no load rpm (800 vs 600)

Now for the real kickers. The M12 has a spindle lock! Now why do you care? It allows you to use the tool as a "wrench" to finish tightening a screw or bolt by hand! the is very handy and allows for some muscle or finesse that you can not get with the Bosch. The M12 comes in a very nice case with a charger and feels very solid in the hand. Excellent tool.

So why why only 4 stars.. well two things the electronic clutch and the main reason... only comes with one battery! It is already a bit pricier then the Bosch (about $10 as of this writing) but the Bosch comes with 2 batteries. A spare M12 battery is about $40 so this is no small matter. I love this tool, I can forgive the clutch, but the lack of a second battery in what is suppose to be a pro tool is beyond cheap.
