After tallying up the results, Milwaukee takes home three significant accolades, including our pick as the best cordless drill overall, best lightweight, and best compact. There’s some push and pull here, though. The only area Milwaukee ranked first in was length. However, it’s the holistic look that makes the 2904 so compelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First of all, there are lighter drills in the DIY and Prosumer categories, but Milwaukee does take the top spot for Professional models. The trade-off here is that it’s with a 5.0Ah battery. If you want Milwaukee’s top performance, you need to switch over to the 6.0Ah High Output or Forge batteries, and they both bump up the weight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Considering Milwaukee’s lowest ranking was 5th with a 5.0Ah battery and 4th with a High Output pack, it’s a contender in performance, though. Features such as the kickback control that’s new to this model, plus the massive width of Milwaukee’s M18 platform, and a solid 5-year warranty help solidify the 2904 as our top selection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This model is also available with One-Key as model 2906<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
