Milwaukee 5378-20 7.5 Amp 1/2-Inch Hammer Drill

Have used this drill for about 2 weeks, and love it. It drills through cement like butter (but it's loud - wear ear protection).

I used another hammer drill prior to purchasing this one, and highly recommend a KEYED chuck. The loaner drill had a hand-chuck, and I couldn't get the drill bits tight enough, even though I felt like I was about to break the drill. The keyed chuck is essential for hammer operation.

Wish it had a storage box, but apart from that, this drill is super.

I read lots of reviews, but rarely write them. I am a part time remodeler. I have used this hammerdrill for 3 months. It has worked flawlessly for me. I have only used it so far to install tapcons in concrete slabs and in some precast concrete. I have only used it to drill up to 1/4" holes so far and it works great. Hammerdrill function is powerful and smooth. It is a little bulky in tight spots, but always seems to be able to maneuver it to work some how. This drill is longer than some and very powerful. I haven't used the drill function but I am sure it will be good. I have several different brands of tools and Milwaukee makes excellent products-particularly drills. Very strong and durable. A keyed chuck can be a pain, but is really the only way to go for a hammerdrill or any larger drill for boring 1/2" or bigger holes. Highly Recommended.

Absolutely great! Heavy & Solid, pricey? Maybe? But you get what you pay for. I used this thing all day to drill holes in brick/masonry. It never got tired. Hammertime! It didn't crack or break the bricks or crumble the mortar. With the depth adjustment guide, I made consistent depth holes every time, no trial & error. Well worth the money - you can buy a cheaper drill - but you'll be sorry.

Purchased this Model today locally and it did not dissapoint. It ate thru concrete block like I eat thru a Chinese buffet after a full days work. Strong, yet quieter than most, well balanced, and not as heavy as some. Would definitely recommend fo rthe occasional user (like me), have no idea how well it will hold up in the long run. 3 Year warranty was a plus, as Bosch drill of comparable size only had 1 year....

Bought this drill for around home projects... first one to anchor new ledger board to concrete foundation for our deck extension. Put 8- 1/2 inch 3inch deep holes in the foundation like a hot knife through butter. What a pleasure, the depth gage worked great too for depth uniformity. Great tool for the job intended.
