Milwaukee 2607-20 M18

Milwaukee are a manufacturer of power tools aimed primarily at the home user. The 2607-20 M18 Hammer Drill is no exception: it’s a simple cordless hammer drill available at an entry-level price point, capable of reaching speeds of 1,800 RPM – more than enough for most tasks around the home, especially when making use of the hammer action.

Despite the low price, this doesn’t feel like a cheap drill: it’s sturdier and heavier than the average cordless hammer drill, and even comes fitted with Milwaukee’s proprietary REDLINK Intelligence system. This is a safety feature designed to overload and shut off the drill when it gets too hot, avoiding the damaging and potentially dangerous consequences of overheating your drill during use.

With an 18V power pack which can be switched with the battery from any other 18V model, Milwaukee’s M18 Hammer Drill is a no-nonsense offering that gives a surprising amount of bang for your buck.
