So I have been using mine for the past few months and it had been a life saver. I got used to the electronic reverse switch so it’s second nature now. The only negative is that other than the Chuck and quick connect drill bits don’t stay in the tool and you have to pull them out manually from the work piece. Really a pain in the ass.

I've been in the woodworking business for 40 years. I just had to install four sets of kitchen for a multi-family. I found this drill kitand the Bessie face frame clamps I bought with the drill was the best tool investment I've made in the last 20 years. I've got to watch your video and see what your deal breaker is , I think this is one of the best design tools I've ever used. probably that micro switch won't last 20 years like a lot of the cordless Makita tools I still have that are 25 and even 30 years old. But all in all I'd say it's a fantastic tool if you're doing installs saves a lot of time switching bits of screwing around and getting into a corner has never been so easy 👍

Picked one of these up in store today and loved the feel and features of it. Was able to place the attachments on and remove them in store, compared to the Bosch multi head drill I own the process was a lot smoother and felt like it was far better designed. Absolutely loved the offset 1/4 in head. Came back to watch some reviews and just came across your video, I didn't even realise it in store but your point about the electric forward and reverse switch on top is such a disappointing deal breaker for me! Not only for the inconvenience of it, but because an electric push button switch is going to fail far sooner than a mechanical! The base I could have lived with or even modified, the switching not so much. Thanks for the review, appreciate it!

If I found someone on any of my jobs with thier drill standing up with a bit in it, on open finished floor, counter tops, inside a cabinet, etc, they'd get one chance to learn, or be writen up.

Thanks for the review! Here’s mine: So I’ve bought one and have been using it for 2 weeks as a cabinet guy. It’s a great tool with some serious flaws. The reverse/forward button is in such an awkward spot. Plus it does this strange thing. If you have it in fwd, set it down and pick it up a few min later and then attempt to change the direction it only activates the feature and then you have to press it again. I know that’s confusing. It’s also confusing in real life. But ultimately it’s a very good tool. I use it for its attachments and even as my driver for using my hole saws. But it’s not my daily driver. Another plus is that it has opened up the m12 world to me. And the m12 oscillating tool is unbelievably good. Thanks for the review!

Same attachments, slightly more power, no bit sticking down in front of the handle, and sliding fwd/rev that you like. Doesn't stand up, so it will not fall over. You lay it on its side. (Simples.) If you are working on fine finished surfaces you should be using a tool mat anyway. 'Milwaukee, widen the base'. Why don't you? Better yet, add suction cups.

Nice review. Came across it just AFTER I’ve ordered my drill 🙄. Anyway I’m thinking I won’t find the ‘deal breaker’ to be that, as I’ve never been able to leave my other M12 drills upright and besides, wouldnt/shouldn’t do it even if I could. They always hang off the (excellent) clip or lay flat. Much safer practice for all tools if I’m working on vulnerable surfaces. I’m more concerned about the forward reverse switch but from other reviews it sounds like if you don’t have an immediate strop and send it back then you soon adapt. Besides this won’t be my main driver, but specialist one for awkward spaces. We shall see. But thanks for the clear concise review and lack of unboxing crap! Subscribed!

Thanks for the review. I agree with you. The forward reverse switch is most certainly a deal breaker for me. They keep making these drill/drivers smaller, lighter, and more powerful. All great improvements but the trade off seams the lowest clutch setting is too powerful now for delicate driving. My biggest need is a very low clutch for driving lots of delicate screws. Like a #4 x1/2" piano screw into soft materials. With the clutch in the lowest setting can you pinch it and engage the clutch?

It would be good if something like that was included in the kit as it would be a very cheap attachment if it was properly tooled up.

Their blowers, hedge trimmers trimmers, etc are awesome! My first drill would be the Subcompact drill set with the drill and Impactor. I own that set now and it’s first class.

Worked great, mostly, I just wish the clearance using the right angle attachment could be less. But for a versatile tool, I'm good with that. I came to comment on the tippyness aspect -- it's no problem for me as I will always lay the drill flat. Look, I'm a clumsy DIYer with a couple cordless ryobi cordless drills that are bottom heavy with their batteries. And while I do like to set down those drills in an upright position for the easy grab, I admit that that on more than one occasion I've managed to knock over the ryobi drill and break the bit (a thin one, say 3/32). My corded drills lay flat, I'm good with flat. oh, and the forward/reverse/lock button, I couldn't figure that out in the store but it's just one button. Works for me just fine -- only thing is you need eyes on it to see the direction as opposed to the traditional tactile thing. Keep up the reviews Funny Carpenter and peace from the US.

I am a DYI person so I may miss something , but I really don’t like those magnetic bits, they always seem of come out of the holder and fall on the floor or get stuck on the screw and pull out of the chuck. So I too really like the drill but I don’t understand why the offset chuck uses the magnetic bits while the normal 1/4” chuck uses the locking style. So you need to have two kinds of bits or use the locking style in the magnetic chuck which does not work well. I also don’t like the stability of the drill and the top mounted reverse. Other then that I too am a fan of this drill.

I have actually considered to see if I could hack this drill and put some small buttons in parallel with the reverse switch and add buttons down near the trigger on the magnetic bit holder frame where my finger could switch it . You pretty well matched my likes and dislikes. I have been remodeling my kitchen and used this drill a lot. I think there are more likes then dislike, but there are definite areas of improvements.

Any views in fdd vs fpd. Can't see how much use the metal locking collar is in the fdd and fpd has more torque. Are the attachments plastic in both?

I've been using one for almost a year now, you get used to the electric switch, but they could have just used dual electric buttons to simulate the physical switch if they wanted to keep it slim. Other than that it's absolutely amazing, I use it 99% of the time with how much power it has. Even mounted a tv with 4 inch 1/2 lag bolts.

How do you like your drill still? Any issues with bits falling out with the head adapter?
@Thundercube_Music

@@shanew7361 I've never had a bit fall out of any of the adapters aside from the offset which is only held in magnetically. And of course if you don't use any of the adapters it's also again only held in magnetically. But other than that it's great. I wish they made an impact and hammer drill attachment, then it would basically be the only drill I needed.

I assume the packing gives Festool the credit for the all the attachment ideas but felt too bad to copy them completely and decided to change the fwd rev switch and stick a bat in the handle. The deal breaker is the switch

Put this big battery in it and your golden man. Just like the 18v battery has a square base like a traditional drill battery… the m12 big battery has the square base and will weigh it down right. Not a deal breaker it’s a lightweight tool. Put a bottom heavy big battery in it and your good to go

Re. the stability of the drill when it is standing, if you take a 4.0 or a 6.0 battery, then there in no issue. (Milwaukee should'nt sell the drill with 2.0 batteries, luckily it can be bought without batteries, then take a 6.0 Ah)

I generally put my tools down carefully what I working on marble or finish surfaces and I don't trust to leave them standing up anyways it's an accident waiting to happen when someone walks by you turn to hit it with your elbow I mean really , that's your possible deal breaker the way you may put your tools waiting to fall over and damage your clients materials or break your bit, I suggest moving blankets it is always helped me 👍

Joey Segreti for my particular use which is mostly: Putting screws into the back of cabinets and attaching handles I prefer the csx. The slightly lower rpm and centrotech chuck make it more precise. That being said the csx is comically underpowered, I’m happy to keep the M12 in my garage with all the chucks sitting on my workbench. Very handy can do almost everything.
