04/25/2008 | Milwaukee 28 volt drill sawsall and light combo. Even discounted from 550 to 300 was one of the worst deals I ever made. The dang things weighed a TON, and performed not so great. The drill (did I mention it weighed a ton?)deserves a paragraph at least. One battery went bad at the start. after 6 months the motor had no torque. I couldn't use a hole saw at all without it stopping and making an "nnnnnn" sound. Sent it in at the local Milwaukee store for that and the chuck. They sent it back and I think they added a few bars of lead to make it heavier. it didn't work any better. Finally took it back to the retailer and got store credit.

03/07/2006 | Was probably the best out there for a long time in lots of tool categories (drills,sawzalls,angle drills) however, not all is wonderful. For example, their hammerdrills where never that good compared to the other top ones out there.
That being said, the company that ones home depot has bought out milwaukee. Which is a very sad day because Home Depot is notorious for ruining a good product. Rigid at one time was excellent, now its merely good. As it is, i have found the new milwaukee products are not as good as they used to be 5-6 years ago.
