5 out of 5 stars hammer drill   July 2, 2008

I have been using Milwaukee drills for years and they have all been great. This hammer drill is no exception. I have never used a hammer drill before now, only a rotary hammer, but this drill performed as needed. It took a little more pressure while drilling, but it did the job.

I have only used this a couple of times on light work so far. It drills like cutting through butter. I am going to need it for heavier work soon and expect it will be fine. I am a carpenter and it's a great light/medium duty drill. Milwaukee 5378-21 7.5 Amp 1/2-Inch Hammer Drill with Pistol Grip


5 out of 5 stars Great drill for a great price   March 11, 2007

I read a lot of reviews, and spoke with some contractors I know, and they all had problems with hammer drills of other colors. Milwaukee always got good to great ratings. I own one other Milwaukee, and it is a great tool too, so I thought this a good choice. I was not disappointed. This drill is powerful, light weight, and with a new set of bits, made holes in concrete, ceramic tile, and wood with ease, largest was 1/2". In wood with a 1" self-feeding auger bit it was unstoppable. I am only a weekend warrior, so I am sure this tool will outlast me.


3 out of 5 stars Not quite a Milwaukee   January 5, 2007

I don't know for sure, but this drill looks suspiciously like another brand of hammer drill. I still bought it, because I like Milwaukee and it had more power than the older 5370 that I tested. It worked very well drilling concrete and had plenty of power for thick pressure treated wood. Unfortunately, after a couple of hours use, the variable speed switch stopped working. It was either on or off, no in between. I am sure Milwaukee's warranty would have covered it, but I decided to return it and get the more Milwaukee looking 5387.

First of all, it's very unlike me to take the time to go back and write a review for any product. However, I am beyond pleased with the purchase or my Milwaukee 5378-21 7.5 Amp 1/2-Inch Hammer Drill. I'm a professional architect and weekend carpentry warrior and based my opinion on such use.

Recently the drill performed flawlessly during a deck construction project with ample power to drive through 6x8 beams with ease. Drill provides plenty of drive and torque for any wood application!

The hammer feature is a little loud but that's what ear protection's for. This little baby is a work horse - absolutely no complaints. I love it and I'm sure I'll have it for years to come.
