I’m considering this drill, owning only 1 Milwaukee from before, the excellent M12 polishing/sander. I saw it early and eagerly asked the dealer when they where expecting it in their shop. .. He, even a Milwaukee fan, didn’t even knew that it was launched. So.. it does not arrive here until early new year 2020. I have ditched the idea of buying the CXS (unless Festool launches a BL CXS with electronics ala C18) as I consider my Makita 12V BL CXT a better drill, light, excellent power, and constant electronics for power and speed control.
(I do have a C18, which is even smother, but also much heavier)
Question is, for those of you having this new Milwaukee; does it have a variable, constant speed control electronics ala Makita or Festool (From C/T18 and above)?
Or, has it just variable speed? (ala Bosch’s multi attachment drill, 12V, which i sold, because lack of constant speed control)
Regards, Stig

Bad, Home Depot, bad! They jumped the gun on this promo which was set to start on 11/1.
We, too, have the same deal in stock ready to ship with a free bonus 6Ah battery.
Would appreciate your consideration to order from us. Thanks.

I ordered my kit today from ToolNut.com . It comes with the drill and all 4 heads, a charger, two 2.0 batteries and an additional 6.0 battery for $229. I’m happy that I waited. If you go to tool nuts deals page they have the Milwaukee promotions that end on October 31st and those that start on November 1st (which are now available). Besides the Installers drill driver they also have the new 1/4” Surge impact driver on the same promo with the free 6.0 battery in addition to the rest of the full kit. Thanks [member=48572]Shane Holland[/member] for your help sorting this out today!

[member=67056]ColossusX[/member] the deal we're offering is a free miter saw stand with the 10" M18 miter saw.
[member=66185]Alanbach[/member], thanks for the correspondence earlier today and for choosing to order from us.
As Alan mentioned, we have a deals page with all of our tool deals. Since Home Depot started the November promos a little early, we got Milwaukee's blessing to also launch ours.

This seems relative to the users expectations, the material being fastened and the fasteners. I tested mine with some #4 screws on pine and I was happy with how low it went. If you are doing super delicate work, I doubt I’d trust any clutch and do it by hand.

I chucked up some long thin drill bits in mine just now and could not visually see any discernible wobble at the tip. When looking at the chick jaws there visually appeared to be runout at the base of the bit, but upon examination one of the 3 jaws is about 1/128” longer than the other two giving the appearance of wobble where there was none. Also I tested my drill bits for straightness and could not detect any bends in the bits I tested. Either you’ve been unlucky, or I was got lucky, or there was an error in testing methods.

I'm a fan of Milwaukee, but the model on display at Home Depot had a really unpleasant, high-pitched shrill sound when I tried it out.
Mine just hit my doorstep an hour ago. No material amount of runout that I can see. Seems to have really nice power for a little guy. I’ll do a much better test tomorrow. Thank you [member=48572]Shane Holland[/member] !
That black thing in the front is a magnetic bit holder and the little side fins keep the bits from getting knocked loose. I have only played with the drill for a couple of minutes but that bit holder looks much better than the little metal spring clips on most drills. You know, the ones that bits just disappear from spontaneously.

Yes the chucks themselves. All but the Jacobs chuck. I did get run out as well.
I was planning on putting the drill in a systainer so as to match the rest of my tools and because I did not care for the bag it came in. That would make the price point comparable to a cxs. For that price, I should not have any problems with run out. So I returned it and will explore my options.
I did like the drill itself. Lots of power. The form factor and magnetic strip in the front. The reverse button was different but not a dealbreaker.

Do the quick-chucks on the Milwaukee hold Centrotec bits? The Bosch does.
[member=297]Michael Kellough[/member] - Ok, so I forgot earlier but I just went down and checked it out. For the most part the answer is no. The quick release chuck will accept the Centrotec bits but not lock them in. I also tried to put the Centrotec chuck directly onto the drill’s receiver and although it looks right it does not fit. The drill does come with an offset head that accepts 1/4” hex drive bits and that drive is magnetized so you can use the bits there but they are not locked in beyond the hold of the magnet.
