Summary: MILWAUKEE 2601 A WINNER
Comment: Well, the first words I think of for this review is wow! I'm struggling to find fault with it. I'm not new to drills either. I have a Makita BDF451Z, Makita 18V NIMH (forget the Model), DeWalt DC925, Bosch 18V Beast, Bosch Screw Driver, Panasonic 12 V NIMH, Ridgid 12 volt standard and angle drill, and a couple more.
I like the reversing switch unlike others. Just lift your knuckle up and it's there. But to each his own.
The variable speed is incredibly precise! It does not stick or jump up in speed. 5 year warrantee sounds good to me. Also, I have been worried about the fact that Litho batteries go bad if you completely drain them. Each battery in this drill has a button you push that estimates the batterie's charge state. I like the ergonomics and balance better than my Makita BDF451Z. The drill has very high speed, good clutch, nice price ($199 Home Depot). The only thing that ticks me off is that it is made is China. No disrespect to China but doesn't the U.S. make any products any more? I would have gladly paid 15% to 20% more if it were made in the U.S.

Summary: Excellent tool!
Comment: I am a handyman by trade, and use this tool almost daily. I graduated from Milwaukee's 14.4v, and this is more compact for getting into tight spots, lighter and more powerful. The added features of a built-in light and belt clip are great! The battery power level indicator is great for planning ahead for charging needs. The little bit holder could be placed a bit further inboard though, as the one of the bits can catch on clothes, etc. and fall out.

Summary: Best Compact Drill
Comment: Ordered the Milwaukee 18v Compact Drill driver and selected 2 day shipping as I was in middle of project. Got the drill in 2 days and it is the best drill I have ever owned. Lots of power, easy to hang onto, can get into some small places. I absolutely love this drill. Jim in Zapata Texas.

Summary: Very Good, but not Great
Comment: I like how light weight it is and I like the light. I have not used it very much yet and it may be that I am just not used to it. But to me it seems like the driver part is too fast. My older Ryobi unit seemed to be slower, but it stayed in the heads of screws better. With the Milwaukee 2601-22 I found myself stripping the heads off the screws because of the speed and I did have it set on speed 1 which is for the driver not the drill. If I predrilled the holes for the screws it worked fine though.

Summary: No Complaints
Comment: We use this drill constantly. We own a furniture store and my delivery guy uses this to build all of the furniture for customers on a daily basis. It's small but plenty powerful for any job we have. The battery life is good and battery indicator built onto the battery is a great way to see when a charge is near due. It also has a little hook built in near the base so my guy can hook it to his belt when his hands are full.
All in all it has done everything we wanted so we are pretty happy. We also have an 18v Makita at the store that works great, but is much bigger and heavier (and more powerful). They are both great, but the Milwaukee is plenty strong for most applications and it's size is a virtue. Almost forgot...it has a light that comes on when you pull the trigger. It would be nice if the light could be switched on independently, but is still nice to have regardless. We usually use a flex bit on the drill so it's usually a moot point anyway because the light only shines straight ahead.
