Milwaukee 2601-22 Review

Milwaukee may not be the first name you would consider when buying your power tools, but the Milwaukee 2601-22 18 compact drill can offer you a lot whether you are doing major jobs round the house or a qualified professional tradesman.

When they say this is a compact cordless drill they aren’t lying. It weighs around 4 pounds. With a length of just under 8 inches it is an excellent choice for doing those awkward and tight areas that are often involved in DIY and construction jobs. In addition to the lightweight and small design, there is a handy LED light to help brighten those darker areas you could be working in.

It is powered by lithium ion batteries so you know it will last a good amount of time and you will get many repeated charges out of the batteries before you have to replace them. It takes 30 minutes to charge it to full power.

The compact drills’ small motor is by no means a baby motor as it can produce 400 inches to pounds of torque when it is working it’s hardest. Taking the speed into consideration as well. This is selected via the incredibly robust full metal gear box. There are 2 variations on speed that will cover a wide variety of jobs that you could be covering. These are 0-350RPM and 0-1400RPM.

It can be a pain if you are up high or wearing gloves while working and you need to switch or replace the drill bit you are using. The 2601-22 features the Yukiwa chuck that offers a strong grip on your bits, so that they do not fall out, and is easy enough to use when you need to replace.

If you are looking for a well made and small cordless drill, then the Milwaukee 2601-22 is worthy of consideration. It may be pricier than some of the models available, but it undoubtedly has a lot to offer against the competition.
