Price: Click here to see discount price + free shipping

Product Description
This heavy duty Magnum drill is built for industrial/construction applications. It features raw power with a Milwaukee built 5.5 amp motor, and a Quik-Lok cord that can be quickly removed from the drill for storage or service replacement. Another exclusive feature is the brush cartridge system, with a set of spare brushes, that allows you to change brushes in less than one minute. Use this tool with a variety of accessories to drill into wood, metal, plastics and composites.

For day in, day out drilling and driving in wood, steel, or plastic, there might not be a better tool than Milwaukee’s Magnum hole shooter. The aluminum/magnesium alloy on the gear case cuts down on the tool’s weight, and the glass-reinforced nylon handle makes it a bit lighter, too–but let there be no doubts: when it comes to results, this is the same heavy-duty, ridiculously powerful, no-nonsense tool it’s always been. The shooter is built with a stacked design–meaning the drill’s interior parts stack on top of each other–which makes replacing parts (like a switch) much easier to do as the whole drill doesn’t need to be taken apart. The handle is designed so you can hold it two ways–either pistol-grip or with the palm of your hand resting on the top back portion–making the drill an extension of your arm. As a result, you can really get behind it while still easily reaching the trigger with your fingers. And the finger slots add comfort. The shooter’s top-quality chuck is a Jacobs (the best). It’s a two-handed chuck, which, for the types of applications this drill is built for, is exactly what you want. The carbon brushes are also easy to access and change.

One of our favorite new features on this tool is the long and superflexible Quick-Lok cord. If the cord gets cut or damaged, you simply unplug the damaged cord and replace it with the cord from any other Quick-Lok Milwaukee tool. If you’re looking for a serious, long-lasting drill, you can’t go wrong here. Milwaukee’s hole shooter is a very high-quality tool that will serve you for years and years and years. –Dori Anvinson

Designed to easily complete those extended decking, fencing, and framing jobs, the tool drills up to twenty-five 2-9/16-inch bit holes per charge. A high output motor provides 550 inch-pounds of torque for driving large bolts and drilling spade bits into hardwood. The unit’s metal ratcheting chuck and carbide jaws grip bits tightly so there’s no slippage mid-job. And, a comfortable non-slip, soft-grip reduces vibration and fatigue.

Serious about reliability, Milwaukee backs the battery pack with a 2000-charge warranty. The batteries are 24 percent lighter than 18-volt Ni-Cad’s, too, offering 18-volt power with the same weight as a tool equipped with a 14.4-volt battery.
