    What good are the reviews if most all of the reviews are for the "1/2 in" drill and not the "3/8 in" drill I am interested in buying? I am looking at the "3/8" information/description?

    Answer This Question

    HD and most other retailers started aggregating reviews a few years ago - it's terrible. For HD you can look for the "current item selection" button at the top of the reviews and that will exclude all the other fluff. It's a pain but it mostly works.

              Excellent drill for those situations where you do not need the power of a full size drill. But don't get fooled by it small size! it's powerful enough for most apllications at home and you get the bonus ratchet plus two batteries in different sizes. Higly recommend it!
              by
              Really handy drill specially when I use it to help with sanding tasks. Light, maneuverable and powerful enough for almost anything in my shop.
              by
              Very happy with this purchase! Wasn’t really looking for new drill but this was a great deal with 2 batteries. This drill has been miles above my old one. Very easy to use, simple ergonomic design. A lot of power in a compact drill. I would definitely recommend this drill to any professional of DIY’er looking for an upgrade. Great warranty as well. A+

              The small subcompact form is a real space saver. I mainly use it for installing electrical boxes. It has alot of torque even though it's 12 volt

              This drill driver is a excellent size for tight spaces with a incredible feel in the palm of your hand it has more than enough power to go thru anything you need it to with a smooth trigger feeling High quality tool
              by
              I'm really impressed with this drill. It's powerful, compact (very light as well), and does the job well. The built-in light is quite helpful.
              by
              Excellent drill, upgraded from the older M18 and this is much more powerful in a smaller overall footprint. Perfect for what we do.

              Awesome little drill
              I’m really happy with this purchase. I’m an auto Technician and the Sub Compact Drill fits perfectly in my stuffed tool box. It also puts out more than enough power to do everything I need a drill to do. It’s first job was using a stepped bit to pop holes in to a Porsche fender well to run emissions hoses to the carbon filter and it worked perfectly with a 2.0 battery. I was waffling between the Subcompact and the Fuel, and for the size and what I need a drill for the Subcompact is perfect. Really happy and would highly recommend for those who might be debating between size and power.

                Awesome drill
                I was a little skeptical getting this 12v drill. I’ve had in the past and they just don’t seem to have enough power to perform on the job. I’ve always felt they were more for DIY weekend worrier applications. I was wrong!! This little guy packs some power with its two speed settings. And being the 12v platform, very light weight. I’ve been really impressed with Milwaukee’s 12v platform. And another favorite is the forward/reverse is easy thumb push away. I would recommend this to all from home implement types to full professional constructor like me. It’s great tool from a great company!!
