Milwaukee 2505-22 M12 Fuel Installation Drill/Driver Kit, Compact, Forward/Reverse Switch, Keyless Chuck, LED Light, Variable Speed

This is like the tool you never knew you needed until you got one, and now I can't believe I ever lived without one of these things!! Are you going to build a whole house with it? No, but if you are building a house you won't believe how many things this thing comes in handy for. Any kind of cabinet work is a million times easier. Tight spots...no problem. Around corners...done! It comes with an angled head, a regular drill chuck and an impact head, a couple batteries and a charger. It has an adjustable friction clutch for all chucks, it's compact, but yet powerful, and variable speed trigger with a hi and low range. Get yourself a carabiner with some hex bit holders on it, a set of hex drills and some hex screw bits and throw them all in the handy case, and you're all set for just about anything. I never thought I'd give up using my regular cordless drills all the time, but now I find myself reaching for this 90% of the time.Again, this tool isn't for something like driving deck screws, but for small tight stuff it is indispensable. I also got a small set of hex sockets that I keep in the case on a carabiner, so now small "some assembly required" projects are a snap too. I can't even keep this thing in my shop because I keep bringing it back into the house; I just leave it inside now. It's really that useful. When I first got it I thought it might be kind of a gimmick, but I figured I'd give it a shot. Since then it's probably one of the best small power tool decisions I've ever made. I highly recommend.

Excellent tool in every respect. However, a cautionary tale: When it arrived one of the batteries charged fine, but the other triggered a rapid red and green flashing light on the recharger, indicating a battery failure. I reported it to the seller, who promptly said he'd send me a replacement--but then I asked Gemini if there was a fix, and it recommended trying a different outlet. Which worked, much to my chagrin. Great product and great seller, silly me.

I have had one of these tools for years and use it all the time. I carry 3 batteries and a bunch of drill bits, nut drivers and hex bits. I bought this for my son to carry in his new camp trailer.

I do maintenance at an apartment complex that’s spread out over three blocks so I do a lot of walking back and forth. I carry all of my tools in a tool backpack (Veto Propac). I used to carry my Milwaukee Fuel 18v impact in my bag and often would need to go to the shop to get my 18v drill when I needed to do some drilling. Since I got the Milwaukee installation tool I have dropped some weight in my bag and it fits more comfortably since the 12v tool is smaller. Also it has mostly cut out the need for me to go get my drill as I just use the drill chuck attachment instead. Now I still have to get my 18v drill for things like cutting door knob holes and drilling into concrete as this isn’t a hammer drill but it’s rare that I need to do those things so the 12v Milwaukee Installation tool has become my daily use power tool. It’s lighter, quieter and gets into more places with the right angle and offset attachments. Love this tool, especially the magnet on the front for holding different bits or even extra screws so I don’t have to worry about fishing through my pockets for one. Highly recommended. This tool is powerful and has no problem sinking 3” screws all the way down into solid wood. And it’s easier to use overhead since it’s lighter and smaller. This tool has made my life so much easier, thanks Milwaukee.

Very versatile combo kit works great handles well I’ve been impressed with the performance thus far

I’ve used this for weeks now building cabinets and would buy again! However I wish it had a couple design features my Milwaukee cordless drills have. They need a Version 2 to get five stars.1. A brighter light. It’s very dim compared to my Milwaukee drills. Almost worthless. So much so I need extra lighting to mount drawer slides. My Milwaukee drills have ample lighting.2. Accessible F/R switch. Not positioned as conveniently as the drill. Can’t get to it with primary hand, and using my opposite hand, interrupts operation, unlike the drill designs. Confirmation you switched directions is less efficient than the drill design. I could go on. I should not have to permanently change the way I grip a power tool, just to get better ease of use.I’d pay extra for an option that has better bit storage! Call it a ‘cabinet installers’ version or something. Milwaukee, force your engineers to do a cabinet drawer/face install with this tool and I expect a version 2 would be worthy of 5 stars! Or, at least some add on options, that would expand your profit margins.

Lightweight and very versatile!

I’m an iron worker, fabricator and I have the m18 tools, a lot of them. But I’ve been dabbling in some woodwork lately and wanted to put together a lightweight m12 kit. It saves a lot of space in for sure compared to a full sized m18 drill and 5ah batteries. I think I’ll find a lot of uses for this installation driver. Excellent for honey do type jobs, hanging stuff on walls, putting together miscellaneous whatnot. I can see it being handy while doing automotive work too. Haven’t ridden it really hard, but that’s not really what it’s made for. Plenty of torque though if needed and the clutch is easy to fine tune so you don’t strip screws out or over sink them. I typically throw the oversized hard boxes Milwaukee tools come in, but I like this bag the kit came with, when you pull the tool and charger out, it stores the heads and it’s perfect for a set of 1/4” drive bits, level, stud finder and some screws for those nick nack installation or removal jobs. The magnet on the front is nice too.

These kind of drills become a part of the furniture so easily you'll wonder how you managed without one

Full package received as shown in pictures. All items works as they should. Great.
