I own a large selection of Milwaukee tools and a few Hilti tools. IMO, getting Milwaukee products are like getting Hilti products for a little less money. However, if you work in punishing, demanding conditions everyday, all day, then Hilti may be the way to go for the very long haul. For 90%, Milwaukee is a good betCustomer Review: Great little kit!
Summary: 4 Stars
This kit does everything I hoped it would do. I can't tell you how much time I've wasted on jobs trying to find bits, switching from drill bits to driver bits, and matching drill bit sizes to screw sizes and bit sizes. This kit has gotten me ORGANIZED and provides me with what I need all in one box. By the way, the U.S. manufacturers make really good bits and really crappy bits. The Chinese also make really good bits and really crappy bits. When I was growing up, the phrase "Made in Japan" was a joke to refer to junk. Now they manufacture some of the most well made, high tech products in the world. The Chinese now seem to be the target of our wrath. The bits in this kit may break easily, but you get what you pay for. Don't blame it on the Chinese.Customer Review: Abysmal quality drill bits
Summary: 2 Stars
I purchased this set when I purchased my Milwaukee 2610-24 18-Volt Drill/Driver Kit.
The short story:
I _LOVE_ my drill and 3/4 of this bit set. However, I think I would have been better suited with a case that either was smaller due to the removal of the drill bits or included a message that said, "This space intentionally left empty as you are better off than with the drill bits that COULD have gone here."
The longer:
Simply put, the drill bits are worthless. I sheared 2 of them on my first project that consisted of drilling a hole through drywall to sink a molly bolt. (No, I am not exaggerating.) This leaves little to the imagination at to how they would have handled catching while drilling though metal with a drill of nearly 55 lb-ft.
As the bit shafts are supposedly titanium and the chuck is S2 steel, there must be a problem in the marrying process of the two because every one of the bits has sheared right where the titanium bit meets the chuck...not the typical separation where the bit starts spinning inside the chuck.
As of two weeks after receiving the kit, I removed all the broken bits and placed 7 equivalently sized bits from a different kit in their place. Not the best way, but at least I have some usable bits in this case.
Everything else about this kit is decent. I like the 'Quick-Lok' mechanism as I can quickly swap out the Phillips and standard bits without messing with the drill's ratcheting chuck at all. The magnetic screw guide and insert bits are quite useful as well.
Customer Review: drilling bits break easily
Summary: 2 Stars
I was very excited by this set. I bought the Milwaukee 2401-22 12V 12-Volt Li-ion Sub-Compact Driver and really liked it. I thought this would be a great combo so I could leave it in the house while having my larger bit sets and bigger drill in the garage. This would be handy for quick around the house projects. Well, I still like the drill and the quick-lok concept for smaller jobs, but the drill bits in this kit break extremely easily. I've never broken a bit before, and this one snapped with hardly any pressure being applied. To me, the real quality of a business is not that they never make a mistake or defect but how they handle resolving it when they do. Milwaukee did not handle this at all. I called customer service and was told the bits are not warrantied. Also, there is a part number for the bit, but its not sale-able. So, they can't replace my bit because its not under any sort of warranty,and they can't sell it to me either. I guess I'll just keep using this kit until all the bits are broken, and I'll throw it away and buy a different brand.
