So it’s a Bosch Chameleon without an SDS head attachment?

[@LS__812]

It sucks

[@johnjingleheimersmith9259]

Nah the Bosch version is way better, especially if you're a cabinet installer. This thing is way too bulky for no percievable reason.

[@donaldhokanson3321]

I bought it intending to use it for cabinet work and i use it for everything now. It reppaces the need for bringing a drill and impact with you for around the house fixes. Love it so far.

[@vladimus9749]

I got a drill chuck and quick change bit chuck for my impact for a few bucks on Amazon. Same idea, different route.

[@jonathanmercer5062]

​@vladimus9749 lmao definitely not even close to the same thing bro...😂

I just left a comment saying how it seems nice for cabinets. Do you have to hold it down when screwing at an angle?

Makes it really awkward to have to use two hands to switch positions. Shouldve added it near the trigger like other drills are designed

[@littlejackalo5326]

​@ZachR-ml3op you hit it with your thumb.

[@tenfriskydingos]

​@@littlejackalo5326 Having used this while doing my kitchen cabinets I assume they mean when you've got the top of the drill up against the bottom of something and are already laying in an awkward position that's part of the reason you whipped this out, you have to tilt it down enough to get your thumb up that if you do it with one hand it's easy to drop your screw without a second hand to keep things steady. At least after hours working in the twist yourself into knots cabinet mode ya know

[@Industry-insider]

If you’re building something and putting screws somewhere that are hard to reach, you need to design it differently

[@MrHotcress]

I've had it for about 2 yrs or so. I use it so much that it's unreal. I have many drills but this one is so comfortable and working on cars that right angle is a huge bonus

[@Pepe-dq2ib]

I am the opposite. I used it for everything at first, then i got tired changing and adjusting. Prior to this, I bought an angle adapter by Dewalt 4 years ago and only used it twice.... I went back to using individual tools for specific task. If you built a shelf, stand or whater and cant fit a normal size drill in there, then you obviously did something wrong.

[@pucheco69]

Can you provide the link for the Bosh tool? Price?

The Bosch version is overall a bit better. But the Milwaukee is better for ergonomics, metal ratcheting drill bit chuck, and quick insert collet on the 1/4" hex.

You failed to mention that you can connect the different heads in multiple combinations if needed. It is labeled as a installers drill/ driver. It is specifically intended for people who do installations who encounter multiple scenarios. I install many different configurations for a living and could not be without one. I have 2 sets for different locations and I couldn't be happier. Worth the investment.

[@nicholassoviak2386]

I am a flat rate RV repair technician absolutely love and use this daily best Milwaukee tool hands down

[@noeeon9910]

We're ya located?

[@mechsupernova]

I'm an electrician and I got one of these along with the big packout bit set, I haven't picked up a screwdriver since. This drill gets used a lot more than any other Milwaukee drill or impact I have. I like how in high speed it doesn't have the torque to strip out screws, it makes them as tight as I can with a regular screwdriver.

[@stevecarter8810]

Good to hear. I thought my Milwaukee drill and driver set would end all my diy home driver needs, but they are both too excitable to casually drive screws into weaker material.

[@Pepe-dq2ib]

Same here! I use this little guy for everything and pretty much got rid of my standard size impact, drill and sds.

[@christopherjacklin7589]

I've been using the Bosch Flexi-Click for a while, which is much the same thing. Great bit of kit - especially if you're doing a lot of cabinetry. Even if I don’t need the fancy attachments, I often find myself reaching for it over my 18v dewalts as it's so light. Both are excellent tools, so consider if there's anything else in the 12v range you might want. I already owned the Bosch GFk trim router so I've stayed with that system.

[@onesadtech]

I don't have the Flexi-Click but I do have the 12v Drill/Impact Driver combo from Bosch, and I totally agree, I don't reach for 18v very often at all. If drilling large holes, I'll just use my cheapo store brand corded drill anyway.

[@diverbob8]

I've had this set for nearly a year and for a M12 tool, this thing is surprisingly powerful. I'm not giving up my other Milwaukee drills and Impactors, of which there is a pile, but I pick up this one first most of the time. 10 out of 10....ALL DAY!

[@allenmcnamara9213]

About mine over a year ago it's an amazingly good tool comes with a cool case. Small compact powerful

[@sheslikeheroin1661]

I use mine more than any other drill / driver that i have!

[@YoungHeartedSoul]

Bought this last year and i dont have to use my regular drill again. This is light,compact, good power and speed. The battery, regular 12v has a good life. Excellent tool that can replace screwdrivers and heavier drills. The storage case is very nice as well. Has a magnetic strip in the front to hold different driver bits or drill bits.

[@MrG77]

Great looking thing. My work recently took out a contract with Milwauke for drills, grinders and impact guns. Great tools with good power and good battery life. Very impressed with their tools.👍

[@brianhall9019]

People normally knock the top mounted reverse switch. I have found that after using it for a while it actually makes a lot of sense for the way you hold this tool. It’s to be held like a drywall gun, thus using your thumb makes more sense when you are in strange positions using this. I am a Milwaukee fanboy all day long. I own more Milwaukee than my wife knows about…but this is in my top 3 tools. I actually have two of these.

[@Beariam24]

Had mine for few years now! Absolutely love it. I use it pretty much every day now. Saves the old wrists. So versatile. Only thing I don’t like is the forwards and back button on the top. A sliding trigger would make this so much better.

I’ve been a carpenter for 28 years. Found this drill 2 years ago. Bought one for home and one for mom. I wouldn’t hog holes with it, but it can drive a 3” #10 into a 4x with no issues. Lightweight and the grip is unreal. The only drawback is the directional button. The delay throws me off a little. Great drill though.

Festool has several sizes. I've had my Festool ones for over 5 years, and they still run perfectly. They're not cheap, but the quality is impeccable.

[@wayneprice6918]

Bosch makes a great one in 12v. Buy the one with the belt clip, more torque. The offset head is the most useful. Look for clearance prices. Comes with multiple heads . Offset, right angle, short head, and 3/8 inch chuck. Love my Milwaukee 12v hammer drill but also love my Bosch 2 inch 12v power planer. The small 12v Bosch carries well in a tool bag. Smaller than the Milwaukee.

[@jamiesmith4041]

Walmart has the hyper tough version for $30 and I got one because I needed a drill real fast while out of town and I have been using it hard for a while now and it’s still hasn’t broke. Hard = 3” hole saw through osb and thousands of screws love how I can leave the drill bit in the drill head and just remove the whole thing to use the screw gun

I have this and only use it occasionally. The magnet bit holder on the front. It's nice, but there is not impact function, only 1/4 driver, but it is magnetic as well. I got it for tight spaces. It has some uses. I need an actual impact and a hammer drill most of the time. Side note: there is no switch, it has a button on top. It's not as convenient. Maybe you will get used to it, I haven't.

[@peterkn2]

Bosch has a similar drill/driver with swappable heads and I hated it. I now have this Milwaukee and I think it's a big step up. I also have 18-20v drill/drivers and the 12v is my go-to for day to day stuff.

Phenomenal driver. Be on the lookout though. Home Depot from time to time will offer this driver at a substantial discount. The benefit of this driver is you can’t over torc a screw. Therefore, installing cabinet, screws, computer work, detailed installs that require finesse can be done with ease and worry free. Totally recommend it.
