 all around great package June 10, 2010

Buying an 18v drill a few years ago after doing much research I concluded that a Ryobi would suit me fine, but I have since tore the internals up. This Milwaukee 2601 is smaller, lighter and better built. The specs said it has more torque but I wondered if I would be able to tell the difference. Absolutely. I could more or less controll the Ryobi if the bit ever got stuck, but this one will twist your wrist right off. I have to use much less effort in both drilling and driving applications, this drill does all the work.
This milwaukee is the best in the class of compact drills with compact batteries. This drill is a most excellent and capable tool. It has the shortest head length of any 18v drill, it will bring 18v power to places others just can't fit. While not being the lightest, it is the lightest to have all metal gears. The battery lasts quite well for anything you shouldn't be using a full size maybe even hammer drill for. A 30 min recharge time on the battery isn't the quickest, but not doing it too quickly most likely extends the battery's life.
As to some other reviews, when considering a drill, be smart about it. You don't need a machine gun to take out varmint, and it's going to take some work to down an elephant with a varmint gun. Get the right tool for what you're going to be doing with it. For anyone considering this drill, if you want a lightweight, compact yet powerful drill to reach for everytime and anytime a hammer drill isn't required, this is it. You aren't going to be breaking into a concrete bunker with it, and it's overkill for hanging a picture but it will handle just about everything in-between.
Great drill/driver! May 26, 2010

I recently replaced my "Crapsman" drill/driver with this one. Wow what a difference. This drill is far superior to any I have owned (and I have owned quite a few)and worth every penny. The compact design is nice and the Li-ion battery technology is far superior to the old ni-cads. Milwaukee really hit the mark with this one. The only criticism I have is that it does not have a place to store extra bits on the unit itself. This is my second Milwaukee tool and I am please with both.
 not 550 in lb big brother but still good! May 11, 2010

ok so i got this drill from amazon here and i have to say i REALLY like it! the biggest thing i beleive every one should know before ordering this is that it IS NOT the 550 in lb 18v drill that is probably the most superb drill ever made but that is why they want twice the price for it! power is around 400 in lbs but still plenty of snort... it is verry light weight and charges FAST!!! i have read a lot of complaints about battery life which i may add is a little short but the fast charge time make up for it in my oppinion! if you have a tired 14.4v drill this one would be a great replacement (smaller lighter more power)
 Not Impressed with Milwaukee April 30, 2010

I purchased this Drill and the Sub-Compact Driver as my first Milwaukee experience. Needless I've already been to the service center twice for the compact driver since the batteries keep flashing "bad" in the charger after a few months.
The 2601 drill experience started well but then the past few months about a year later I'm finding the drill is powerless at drill speeds. In addition, now the batteries won't last over 15 minutes before needing a recharge to regain any power.
So we are off to the service center again. I purchased a Milwaukee Sliding Compound at Christmas Time but after these frustrations I ended up taking it back to the store in an unopened box for a store credit. There is nothing more frustrating than not having the power when you need it.
Two products purchased at the sametime and same manufacturer having similar issues, not impressed.
Fantastic Drill March 16, 2010

I have never been a fan of cordless drills because of long charging times and short battery life but my corded Mikita drill is starting become worn out so I wanted to try cordless again. This Milwaukee charges the battery in 30 minutes and the drill has tons of power. The chuck took a little getting used to. The other drills I've used have two rings on the key-less chuck. This just has one you twist until it clicks. Over all I think this is a great drill. Compact and feels like it is built solidly.
