Customers say
Customers find the drill powerful and appreciate its compact, lightweight design and new appearance. They consider it good value for money and comfortable to use. However, the build quality and power receive mixed feedback – while some praise its great Milwaukee quality and sufficient power output, others find it struggles with tougher jobs and lacks power for heavy-duty tasks. Additionally, the battery life is underwhelming, requiring frequent recharges.

Best drill hands down
As a professional home remodeler, I got the Milwaukee M18 FUEL 1/2″ Hammer Drill (2904-20) for my crew, and I’m borderline obsessed with it. Its 1,400 in-lbs of torque and 33,000 BPM rip through concrete for anchor bolts or heavy timber for framing on job sites like it’s nothing. The 6.9-inch compact design is a lifesaver in tight spots like kitchen refits, and the AutoStop clutch saves my wrist when bits jam—happens more than I’d like. The brushless motor and REDLINK PLUS keep it cool during long days, but the chuck loosening with bigger bits is a pain. It’s hefty with a 5.0Ah battery, though the solid grip and bright LED light balance it out. It’s overkill for small tasks, but for pro-level remodels, this drill’s the MVP of my toolkit.

Fantastic tool!!
It is an amazing, state of the art, tool!The “Anti Twist your arm off” works great!It is SO powerful at 116 ft lbs!It is Sooo smoth and has torque at the lowest of speeds to full RPM!I really love it!Well worth the money and also feels great in the hand.The torque bar is really nicely made and is needed on some applications because of the crazy power it has.My old one smoked but was no comparison to this new model.The variable speed is really good and sounds very robotic!If you don’t have one then you are behind the times and missing out on a great product.

Beware using Rusty/dull auger bits or spade bits
So just bought this because my coworker lost 2 of them so far of the Gen. 3. Boss wont be happy if he finds out. so I replaced it. Hehe Then I looked into it and realized it was a great price better than home depot. So I write-up on the new features and I said nice thanks I’m happy I won’t smash my hands anymore because of auto stop … well this machine is beautifully madeNegative -1starI burn through bits being a residential electrician . While this has power and does not smash hands . The drill stops to often when hitting a stud or nail . Almost defeats the purpose of the Diablo nail eater spade bits I buy for that reason. With the 7″ auger bit . It just would get through 3and then it stops and I have to somehow back out but I can’t because auto stop and I’m stuck in 3, 2×4between a nail or stud wood dust back filling the hole the deeper im pulled in and I’m stuck no movement on drill back or forth . .. gear 1 no Beauno either . Another spadebit finds its Forever home🥲

The drill came without box with scratches on the back and on the side the drill it’s genuine just ok for the price if you want brand new buy from other place.

Great deal! I received a brand new unopened package. Seller was JBtools. Multiple sellers use the same listings so you have to watch that, Some other guys might be selling liquidated tools in damaged or opened packaging that can’t be sold in retail.

En la caja de este artículo se menciona “El más potente” y “el más compacto”. Por lo que leí en internet, ciertamente es el taladro más potente, en la categoría de herramientas de 18V, siendo comparable con algunas unidades de 20V, pero quedándose atrás con herramientas de 24V y 40V.Había anteriormente adquirido un kit que contenía el taladro Milwaukee 2801-20. Comparado con ese, el 2904 es un poco más grande, un poco más pesado, y bastante más potente, e importantemente con la función de rotomartillo, así como un embrague mecánico que permite más precisión cuando se está usando sólo un poco del gatillo. No he encontrado algo que no se pueda perforar, con la broca correcta. Estoy muy contento con la herramienta.Como indicado en la descripción de la herramienta, este artículo es sólo la herramienta, veo kits pre-hechos que contienen un cargador y una o varias pilas XC 5. Mi recomendación, si aún no cuentas con pilas Milwaukee o bien vas a comprar nuevas sería comprar la CP3.0 High output, más compacta pero comparable(o muy ligeramente mejor) en rendimiento a la más pesada XC 5 permitiéndo que manipular la herramienta sea más fácil, o bien la XC 6 High output o inclusive la Forge para mayor tiempo de uso/demanda. Baterías más grandes que esas pueden hacer que la herramienta sea algo difícil de maniobrar. No tengo inconveniente para mi uso esporádico con los tiempos del cargador estándar, pero si uno va a darle mucho uso a estas herramientas, alguno de los cargadores rápidos puede valer la pena.En resumen, esta es una buena herramienta si necesitas algo para hacer de todo, o bien dependes de este tipo de herramientas para hacer tu trabajo, en particular cuando la herramienta ronda los $2,000 MXN. Si necesitas aún más potencia deberías de estar viendo herramientas de 24V, 40V o bien algo alámbrico de buenas especificaciones.**Información adicional tras más uso**Sigo sumamente contento con el taladro y lo recomiendo ámpliamente. Sólo quiero agregar que, aunque prefiero baterías más compactas, estas herramientas Fuel si sacan provecho de baterías de mayor capacidad, por lo que para sacarle el máximo a la herramienta, una batería Forge o bien la gigantesca High output de 12 AH son necesarias. Mi caso de uso no requiere esto.Y si lo que quieres es taladrar agujeros todo el día, adicional a mis recomendaciones de herramientas de mayor voltaje o alámbricas, estaría un taladro tipo SDS, si en verdad buscas dedicarte a esto profesionalmente y tienes algo de dinero para invertir.
