Milwaukee 2401-22 12V 12-Volt Li-ion Sub-Compact Driver Kit

I am an IT professional and needed to replace an aging Dewalt power screwdriver.

We had a TV die in our office and a technician showed up to fix it... Almost all new lcd/plasma panels have tons of screws to remove the back cover. He brought this little beauty with him and let us feel it and test it out.

I bought one 30 minutes after he left.

The grip is great, it feels good to hold and is not HEAVY like a traditional drill. It is even lighter then our dewalt screwdriver.

It comes with 2 batteries (a bonus) and a canvas tote....not to mention the charger. It has a LED light that aims up to the screw...awesome...but not really helpful in an IT scenario.

Overall - I cant believe I havent seen this thing before. The build quality and the value are amazing.

ps. Get your self a long (10-12") phillips bit if you want to dig inside a computer. :-)

This is the best product i have purchased in years. Small and compact, yet,, enough TORQUE to twist out of my hands. I can't say enough. This thing is AWESOME!!

I have used this driver several times. I install closet shelving, and have used it to drive 200 #8x2" wood screws with a very aggressive thread, through 1/2" drywall, into 2x4 studs, without switching batteries!

Pros: Battery lasts! Compact and light. Strong torque. Clutch works great. No "chuck" to spin against your work, and scratch it up. Battery indicator is great. Spare battery is small enough to keep in your tool belt without weighing you down. Charges quickly.

Cons: I'm left-handed, and it's very easy to switch the forward/reverse switch. I pull the trigger with my middle finger. It's very comfortable that way. The light is powerful, but a little annoying sometimes. You have to use a special holder for a drill bit IF you want to drill. But, this isn't a drill, it's a driver. The RPM's are a little slow, but I imagine to get more RPM's you either gain size or weight.

This has taken the place of my 18V drill/driver for driving screws. I still use the 18V to drill, but switching to this for driving sure has helped my shoulder. 200 screws without charging! That's pretty amazing to me.

Powerful enough to drive and drill. Battery life is good and the batteries charge quickly. I thought the light was a little much, but wouldn't you know, I have used it.

The Milwaukee 2401-22 is a small, powerful, lightweight, well balanced drill/driver. It comes with 2 long-life batteries that charge in 30 minutes. Combined with a Milwaukee drill chuck, its everything this homeowner needs for home projects. I used it on 3 inch deck screws on a shelving project. A friend who is a professional remodeler uses one for all his lighter duty work. I may buy some of these for Christmas presents!
