Cordless Tools Reviews

This is a very good cordless drill with plenty of torque. It
is however a bit on the hefty side and does not have an attachment location for keeping a screwdriver bit. This can be inconvenient for some applications. Overall a well made and reliable tool. It has come in handy for many jobs already, and I have only had it for a few months.

Being a Milwaukee you know it will be the best of quality. I replaced a Dewalt cordless hammer drill with this one. I bought it in conjunction with the 4 tool combo pack. Now I have to drills. This drill is identical to the 0522 with the hammer drill extra. It has excellent balance and conforms well to your hand. The hammering action is the best I have seen in a cordless. The torque the plentiful and more than enough for any job. I am not going to try and sell you on this item. The name Milwaukee should be enough. I will say this it is the best of the best and can't be beat, period.

The Milwaukee power screwdriver is almost there. The torque is tremendous for the 2.4 volt motor. It's still solid and doesn't have any signs of bearing squawk - and I got it used. It's weight makes it a little heavy to grab for minor household repairs - but for repetitive jobs like driving dozens of sheet metal screws, changing outlets, or setting molly screws in sheetrock walls, it is a real wrist saver.

It would be a real advantage to have a bit holder on the driver itself instead of on the charger. Buy a magnetic bit extension so you can use those bits they sell on the hardware counter at 5 for a buck!

It's time for new batteries, since the ones I have are tired out. Not sure how long they last since the driver and batteries were used when I got it. If they last like the driver, I'll be a one happy camper.

this unit is the same as the Panasonic unit . it is a 200 RPM low and 400 Rpm high speed. Great for service tech.'s

I have owned and used daily the milwaukee model 9057-6 12 volt cordless impact for over 4 years now on a daily basis. Taking every thing into consideration, this has been a very dependable product. I have dropped it off 6 & 8 foot ladders onto concrete floors and then picked it up and started using it over again. Only once did the front cover break, which is fairly easy to replace yourself. Anyone looking for a lightweight cordless unit, I would highly recommend this product

In my line of work as a automotive tech. these tools come in very handy. They not only speed up work process's but make my job easier and more versital.

I received my 3.5Ah EY9201 NiMh 'G' battery for Christmas, so I haven't been able to give it the test of time (hence only 4 stars) but it's a grunty looking battery.

It weighs 820g (1lb 13oz) compared with only 700g for the 3Ah 'N' battery; and 520g (1lb 2oz) for the 'C' battery (but then a charge should last 3 times as long as the 'C'). To gain the extra capacity the cells are almost square, giving them a larger cross-sectonal area. This leaves very little space inside the battery pack - hence the screws on the outside.

I've read of the previous NiMh 'N' battery packing up in as little as seventeen months. A friend has had two for nearly two & half years without trouble, but he never lets them run down. If he uses them at work during the day, they go straight onto the charger when he gets home. Maybe that's the secret to long life for NiMh batteries.

The weight and the 55min charging time would be the only negatives.

After using this battery in my impact driver for six months, I can honestly say I am very glad I bought it. It outlasts the 3.0Ahr NiMH battery that came with the driver by 2X or more and provides impacts that are more powerful. Now I only use the 3.0Ahr battery while the 3.5Ahr power pack is charging. Well worth the extra money.

I LOVE IT. MY DAUGHTERS (AGES 9 & 10 ) RECEIVED ONE OF THESE FOR CHRISTMAS AND USE IT ALL THE TIME. IT REALLY WORKS GREAT. THEY VACUUM THEIR ROOM AND THEIR YOUNGER BROTHER'S ROOM ALL THE TIME. I PURCHASED THIS ONE FOR MY NIECE (AGE 6) AND AM SURE SHE AND HER MOTHER WILL LOVE IT. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS VACUUM.

This vacuum works great. My daughter loves to use it whenever mom is vacuuming. It works so well that we have found ourselves grabing this vacuum for small spills rather than the house vacuum.

This is one of the best items I have purchased for my daughter! The charge lasts plenty of time for her attention span. She loves to help mommy around the house, and it really works and pick up quite a bit of dirt! She is able to vacuum up small messes and do in-between vacuums to help me with house work. It teaches her about doing chores, but she has fun at the same time. She loves being able to vacuum her own room too!! We absolutely love it!

Pros: Solid build quality (in the usual B&D hard-wearing orange and black plastics). Very torquey at it's low speed setting--one of the more powerful (at ~80 in/lb) 6V drivers out there (that competes well with other higher-voltage models). The high-speed drill mode (600 rpm) won't win any drilling contests (??? :) ), but it's good enough for most light drilling chores (as long as they don't involve drilling in metal). The integrated tape measure (removable) and switchable LED illuminator are thoughtful touches.

Cons: There are a few. As mentionned many times already, the grip offered by the two bit holders is rather iffy, though if you press down on the bits hard enough they SHOULD remain in place. The quick-release chuck won't "grab" double-ended bits. For drilling chores, it can only accept hex-shank drill bits, which are somewhat hard to find in stores. The speed selector doesn't always switch over smoothly (a blip from the main trigger switch is usually enough to "unstick" it). The driver's angle setting locks in at odd places; the detents should've been at 45° and 90°. There's no status LED to tell you that the unit is charging. The charging jack is located in a very odd place (right at the hinge, where it's inaccessible unless the tool's angle is flat). Battery is non-replacable. There's no carrying case, and only one drill bit is included (but then, it's hard to justify such nit-pickings at this price).

Summary: Despite its flaws, this cordless driver offers the most bang for the buck. Definitely recommended... Just be mindful of its limitations (vs. the low price point).

I'm not a screwdriver expert of any kind so I'm not sure how helpful this review will be but my hope is that my enthusiasm for the product will be enough to convey how highly I think of it.

I'm not one to use a screw driver much a nd am usually fine with the $.99 manual screw driver. But occasionally, I'd be assembling a product of some kind and run into a machine tightened screw that I had to kill myself to get out. So, I purchased this product and I could not be happier.

For the price, I would have been happy with just a screw driver, but the included flash light (a weak flash light but good for what it is), tape measure and drilling capability made it a great value. The adjustable pivoting handle seemed odd when I purchased it but feels very natural when you actually use it and has helped me in a few tight places.

I'm sure there are people who do professional work (like building cabinets and such) that this is not suitable for but for someone who just wants a good home screwdriver with a little power, you can't beat this.

the drill fits but hangs up when you go to remove it from the hook. I had this first and it was ok. But then I got the big lugg bunge...much better easier to use all aroung a better solution.

IT WORKS PRETTY WELL WITH A BIG GUN. IT WORKS VERY WELL WITH A SMALL GUN. MY COIL NAILER IS A LITTLE HARD TO GET OFF AND IT BENT THE BELT CLIP A COUPLE OF TIMES.

An excellent addition to my tool belt. Incredibly handy, way less cumbersome than drill "holsters". I like that I can pop it off and move it to another belt with ease. Can't wait for the Big Lugg 2....

This Vac has a cord and runs on batterys, How much more would it cost to make it charge the battery? For me the whole idea is to carry less stuff around.

I bought the Dewalt DC500 two years ago and have been very happy with its performance. I already owned several cordless Dewalt tools, so I had the 18 volt batteries and chargers.

I use it both in the shop and around the house for the immediate pick-up jobs, especially when I don't feel like dragging out the shop vac and cord. The abililty to take it wherever you don't have an outlet is a real plus. It has good suction for a portable vacuum. I would recommend it to anyone.

Had this guy for about 8 months now and it works real well. It has plenty of power on the batteries for small jobs. I used it to change out around 12 lock sets on interior doors that needed some chisel work on the latch and it made it real nice to just vac up all the chips and move on to the next. Filter is real easy to clean; just knock or wash it off. I even used it to clean up a spilt coffee at one of the places I was doing work at. It did a great job as a wet vac. Plumbers may even think about using it to suck the water out of toilets when doing a removal or change out. It would be a handy size for that.
If you own the batteries and charger already, go for it. If not, just go buy a small shop vac. I love mine mainly because I had four 18 volt batteries already.

This cordless trimmer will suffice for extremely small yards (think townhomes) without thick growth needing to be trimmed. This unit comes with two batteries, but both batteries need to be FULLY charged before starting a project. If you start a project, and place a charged battery in the trimmer, and a discharged battery in the charger, you will have about 20 minutes of runtime on the first battery, and will have at least another 45 minutes to wait before the second battery is ready for use.

This trimmer works like a charm. It is plenty good for trimming needs around the home. The automatic string feature is nice. I was always use to having to tap the trimmer on the ground to advance the string. This you don't have to do anything. You turn the handle which turns the head to edge the sidewalk. I bought this based on comments made on this website. I am am very happy with this purchase.

Great trimmer. No noise from a gas trimmer. No cord to lug around. Best to have two batteries ready. Charge on battery short on tough long weeds on grass. But the best trimmer I ever had, I would recommend this trimmer to my own mother.

I was very sceptical about this broom but after using it, I found that this actually works better than any broom in in this instance any vaccuum I have ever used. It is unbelievable on the amount of stuff this thing will pick up. You must see it to believe it.

I bought this item because I have two toddlers who are messy eaters & constantly getting crumbs all over my saltillo tile kitchen floor. I thought this would be easy & nice to just run quickly over the kicthen floor to get all the big crumbs in between deep cleanings. I hate walking on the floor and hearing that "crunchy" sound. This broom does just that. Works great for what I wanted it to do!!

I have been pleased with this product and would recommend it. Much easier & handier to get out instead of the hassle of dragging out a broom & dustpan, making piles, then crouching down & sweeping it into the manual dustpan. This is much easier for me being a busy mom of 2 kids ages 1 & 2.

I have only 2 minor complaints which is why I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars. One is that it doesn't get smaller dust particles on uneven floors. My saltillo tile naturally is bumpy & imperfect and this sweeper doesn't get the stuff that falls into the grooves as well as I'd like. This sweeper would be PERFECT for laminate or wood floors though! My second complaint is that it does tend to flip over on carpet. I found that if you use it backwards on carpet, it tends to not flip over & still gets the crumbs. But I didn't buy it for carpet. I just mainly wanted it to use in the kitchen.

This is a great broom/vacuum. I have hardwood floors throughtout the house and it picks everything up. It picks up kitty litter, hair, everything. I also use it on my throw rugs between major vacuuming.
It is not great on stairs or in corners but still worth the buy!
