Larger 18v cordless drills are larger and harder to fit into tight spaces but provide more clutch settings which makes it easier to avoid over-driving a screw and stripping out the hole. For anyone wanting a kit with pilot bits and screw driver bits for use with wood screws the RocklerRockler Deluxe Insty-Drive 9-pc. It is a very complete set of 1/4" drills and drivers but is actually missing key items. It seems to be intended for a shelf or drawer in a house or garage and pulled out for special projects. Rockler 5-Pc.
#8 Countersink SetThese 1/4" drive are great for use with standard drills and work well with the new compact 12 volt cordless drivers for many jobs. Quite a few drill sizes that one would want to use for hard and soft woods for #4, #6, #8, #10, and #12 screws are not included in this large set. It is the opposite of most quick change arbors and not as easy to use.The case is larger than is practical for carrying around in a pouch on a tool belt or even putting into a tool box. Tapered Drill Bit/Countersink Set Insty Drive sets provide better pilot drills with countersinks and the cases are small enough to easily fit in a pouch or pocket. There are also double ended screw driver pieces that cannot be used in a screw holder which limits their value. This is a well built kit in a nice storage case with a strong latch.
The quick release chuck is interesting in that in order to release a drill bit the outer collar has to be pulled in the same direction as the drill insert which means you need to use both hands to get the bit out and this is hardly a quick process. The Insty Driver sleeve is also a great design that speeds up the task of drilling counter sunk holes and then quickly driving the screws.
yes this pretty much has all you will need in one solid case, and quality too, would buy again.
I called Milwaukee Customer Service to ask for a replacement part, and was told that it was under a 30 day warranty and I needed to send it back to the vendor (Amazon). I hadn't really tried to use this set of drills and drivers, but I found that one of the drill bits (1/4 inch) would not fit into the Milwaukee Compact Driver. I complained that it seemed unreasonable to send the whole set back because of one part, but they said that was my only option to get the part replaced.The power tool is excellent but I will be getting driver bits and drill bits from other sources.
Here is everything you need for the quick projects that come up without much notice. This set is the perfect accessory to a compact driver/drill. Buy this set.
IMO, getting Milwaukee products are like getting Hilti products for a little less money. For 90%, Milwaukee is a good bet I own a large selection of Milwaukee tools and a few Hilti tools. However, if you work in punishing, demanding conditions everyday, all day, then Hilti may be the way to go for the very long haul.
