I'm trying to decide between compact/12v drill/drivers to add to my kit. I'm stuck between the Milwaukee M12, Makita FD02W, and Bosch PS31. I'm generally a low voltage field service technician. For the past year I've made it with hand tools and borrowing from co-workers, but sometimes rearranging 40U of rack-mount equipment by myself with a Klein 11-in-1 gets old. Situations where I'd need a bigger drill generally fall to the responsibility of someone else, and if I get stuck with a tough job and can't borrow someone's 18v setup I can just run my company corded Bosch hammer drill off the generator on the back of my truck. For most of the stuff I'm actually doing any of the compact/12v tools would be more than enough, and keeping a full-size tool in my kit would be a bit too much. I've only personally used the M12, a coworker has one and it seems pretty good. I've got a few Makita tools I've been quite happy with, so all other factors equal I'd probably go with theirs, but I haven't had any hands-on time with their offering or Bosch's. Anyone have any personal experience or advice?

I got the M12 Hammer Drill / Impact combo bag a few years back, and it has been awesome. Some folks on job sites still talk poo poo until they use them, then want to buy them. I beat the poo poo out of those drills at work all the time and they just come back for more. I will probably get the same setup in Fuel / Brushless at some point in the future but frankly I don't even need to, the regular M12 tools do 95% of the work I'd ever do. Going to the brushless would probably get me up to 98%. Edit: I have apparently been abusing these tools since early 2011, thankfully this thread is old and pushed me toward M12 back then enziarro fucked around with this message at 02:50 on Sep 22, 2014 |
