The genuine article
I recently changed brand loyalty from Team Lime-Green to Team Red (yes, I know. Both TTI and Chinese). I currently have some new M12 tools (all FUEL) and plan to expand to M18 as well. I was amazed by the power for the compact size. The only thing I do not like about the Milwaukee brand is the price. I need to drill into masonry and never acquired a hammer drill over the years. I saw the little 3404-20 in a big box hardware store for about $150. I checked Amazon and found this listing from Tartaglia’s Tools – less than a hundred bucks! Too good to be true! I bought it six seconds later. As I waited the two days for delivery, I searched Youtube for examples of the drill being put to the test. It was at this point where this story changes. Many of the videos were testing Genuine Milwaukee tools with counterfeits. Milfauxkee, DeFault and Makinda if you will. Many of the copies came from Amazon unfortunately. So, I started to figure that the “too good to be true” was just that. You get what you pay for. So…when it arrived expected a phony TEMU, Ali Express, Wish hunk of trash. The 3404 arrived in a generic brown box with what appeared to be a genuine Milwaukee operator’s manual. The drill itself was solid and looked “real” enough to be a REALLY good copy or the genuine article. I compared the overall feel of the tool, directional button shape and size, coloring of the plastic, fasteners used and sticker placement, color and spelling. I looked for all the “tells” that the videos showed as tip-offs for a counterfeit tool. I found none. Now I wanted to test it out! I took a small 2.0 battery from my 2505-22 kit and a crappy masonry drill bit (1/4″) that came with a bit kit i got several years ago. I found a paver, a red brick, concrete footing for my deck and a piece of granite. I drilled into the paver and brick as deep I could go with the 4″ bit within 10 – 20 seconds using only medium downward pressure. The concrete footing took a little bit more pressure but wasted no time bottoming out. The chunk of granite, however, only got a half inch deep hole drilled into it using heavy pressure – until the bit snapped. Long story short (too late), this little beast is no phony. This is the real thing. Solid tool. It’s got some really good torque and a bit of a kick too. All this using the tiny 2.0 battery. I will definitely cough up the cash for the 5.0 high output for this thing.

Most highly recommended tool manufacturer
It’s a Milwaukee! What more can I say. Milwaukee is leading the way in all industrial applications needing durable, high functioning tools, that out perform most others. This is extremely reliable and has been one of my Milwaukee go tos for years now. I highly (x3) recommend this superior tool! GO GET YOU ONE!

Just buy it already.
I was in the carpenter union for some time and I’ve done everything from demolition to rehab to new builds and this is hands down one of my favorite tools. I currently am a maintenance mechanic at a hospital complex and only a couple of times have I had to use a full-size hammer drill because this thing handles everything I’ve thrown at it so far. Milwaukee batteries are far too expensive so I buy aftermarket batteries and if never had a problem. It’s so much lighter and more comfortable than my full size Milwaukee or dewalt’s. If you’re worried about power or torque and you’re not doing anything super heavy duty then you really don’t need to worry. When you pull the trigger and hear it kick on for the first time you’re going to laugh at yourself for doubting it. I do so many things with very limited space and having this tool has made it so much easier.

Seems to be authentic.
I’m not really going to review this product, I think everyone already knows the M12 lineup are really great tools and it does the job it’s made to do. The question that I think everyone is asking is: How can this be such a good deal? It’s half of MSRP. Is it refurbished? Returned?I’m pretty confident that this is just arbitrage, the sellers are just buying combo deals from Home Depot and other authorized retailers then selling the individual tools separately. Right now if I wanted to have spent $220 I could have gotten a really good combo deal at Home Depot with this drill, the impact driver, two batteries, and a bit kit. It’s a Labor Day sale, some of the combos at HD are more than 50% below MSRP – for something you can walk into a local store and buy, 100% sure it’s legit. I notice the same seller I bought this from also has the driver available, and the drill/driver combo is very common.There’s no Milwaukee package, because the combo comes in a single box. There’s no bag/case because the combo only comes with one bag for both tools. There’s no charger or batteries, because the combo either didn’t come with them, or because the seller is selling those individually too. Basically, someone spent the $220 I don’t have to get a really good deal on some tools, then they re-sold them for well under MSRP but still for more than they paid for them.The drill I got was just in a box in a plastic bag, with the instructions. Milwaukee includes separate instructions for each tool in a combo, and the plastic bag is the same sort genuine tools come in. I compared the drill to another tool I have, the plastic is identical in color and texture, the rubber grip material feels identical. There’s no sign that the item is anything but authentic. It also doesn’t appear to be used, it’s perfectly clean with no dust, finger prints, etc. There is oil/grease anywhere I expect to find it on a new tool, but no grease marks on the handle that would indicate use. There aren’t any witness marks on the battery contacts either, so the sign anyone even powered it on.It looks like someone opened up a combo pack, took out this drill in its plastic bag, stuck it into a carboard box along with the manual, and taped it up. Milwaukee could deny warranty on it, that’s true. But since it cost HALF of MSRP, I could just buy another one if it fails and not have spent more than if I bought it from Home Depot. I would need to buy two, and have them both fail in the same way, to be SOL. And I’ve heard many anecdotes of Milwaukee honoring the warranty anyway.Bottom line: Seems legit, and for the price it’s definitely worth it. They do lose a star though, because they could have packaged it better.

Milwaukee M12, simplesmente espetacular parafusadeira 12 volts. A melhor da categoria.

Adquirí este taladro pensando que podría servirme como atornillador pero más fuerte, al momento de recibirlo medi cuenta que no trae caja original viene en una bolsa blanca, creí que podía ser usado pero no estaba completamente nuevo. Como dije antes lo adquirí para utilizarlo para cosas más sencillas pero al momento de recibirlo medí cuenta que se siente bastante robusto, y con mucha potencia. Milwaukee se a convertido en una marca de preferencia para mi.

When I saw the product online, I was a little doubtful. However, after it was delivered to me, I was amazed to see how high quality and durable the product was. It is just as described on the site. I’m happy with the item, thank you. It is worth the money.
