Milwaukee 14.4v cordless drill - which to buy?
I am in the market for a cordless drill / driver. I'm not interested
in one of the cheaper 3/8" drills (Skil, B&D, etc.) but for my modest DIY uses I probably don't need the top-of-the-line pro models either. Being very happy with Milwaukee jigsaw I've bought a few years ago, I'm leaning towards one of their 14.4v 1/2" dril / drivers. The specific models are the 0612-22 Compact Series drill and the 0616-24 Lok-Tor drill. The 0612 is a bit smaller and lighter, but the Lok-Tor beats it in torque (460 vs. 390) and run time. The Lok-Tor also has a side handle. One think that bothers me about the Lok-Tor is that it is a "new" product; in most cases this is a good thing, but in this case I really want to hear that the new product is better (esp. considering Milwaukee is under new ownership). Pricewise, it looks like the Lok-Tor 0616 will run me about $20 more than the 0612. So, what I'd like to hear are any reccomendations between these two models from someone who has used both. If you feel strongly that I should the 18V model, or get a different brand (Panasonic, DeWalt, etc.) let me know that too. Thanks. |
