The specs for the drill can be found a number of places. My own personal experiences are as follows:
I am just beginning to get into cabinet making as a hobby. My current project involves about 1 doz drawers mounted on glides in very tight openings. I knew that my big drill/driver and my smaller drivers would not fit so I considered the following right angle drills:
Dewalt 18v
Bosch 12v
Milwaukee 12v
I decided to buy the Milwaukee based on a number of things:
Size (it is fairly consistent in its size with no large areas to work around)
Balance (the battery balances out the head nicely providing greater control)
Power (power enough to remove 3" screws in hardwood)
Worklight (no need for a third hand installing shelf rails)
The Milwaukee balances quite nicely in the hand and does not have areas that are larger than the actual working portion of the device - unlike the Dewalt and it is rather slim overall - unlike the Bosch. This is especially noticable when working in tight areas. As a result it becomes more like a natural extension of your hand than that of a foriegn object.
I also like the variable speed trigger control and the built-in work light is perfect for placing screws in those dark corners of cabinets.
Some may complain that it only comes with one battery or the case is a soft zippered case instead of a hard case. Valid points- however consider that this Milwaukee is not meant to replace your primary drill that takes a beating and keeps on ticking, but rather to augment it like a fine precision tool for the times when beauty is needed over brawn. The battey issue was not a problem as I never used up the battery when installing the rails. Besides a complety dead battery charges in about 30 minutes and it is a L-ION type so between use refreshes are quite easiliy done with no detimental effect on the battery. A second battery can be stored in the case and the case itself is quite suitable for it purpose and how the tool will be used.
As to power - I recently had to remove some 3" screws that were set in Oak with a corded right angle drill. The Milwaukee had no problem removing them. The clutch worked great and the work light made the process a lot safer.
I am more than pleased with the tool and I am sure that I will create new projects that will allow me to take full advantage of this tools special capabilities.
