Product Description
The Milwaukee 0721 is powered by a 28 Volt Milwaukee high power motor. This Cordless Right-Angle Drill is ideal for boring large holes in between studs, joists or in tight areas. This tool is great for plumbing and electrical applications such as drilling holes to run wire through studs and joists, or boring holes in floors for plumbing venting. The tool features an extremely rugged motor and gear train that is capable of handling some of the toughest jobs and is durable enough to withstand job-site abuse. This monster has a 2-9/16 in. capacity when drilling 2x material with a self-feed bit. It also has a head and handle that can swivel 360 degrees and be locked tight into any position. The 0721 has a variable speed trigger that allows for controlled starts and features a convenient forward/reverse lever for easy use. The impact-resistant case helps protect the tool in transit to and from the jobsite and features an enclosed storage area for most types of drill bits. Includes one 28V battery, 1-hour charger, carrying bag, side handle, and chuck key.

It's a very good drill! April 4, 2010
Kendall Flint
I purchased this drill 5 months ago to drill holes in stacked 2x8" framing and 6" Glue-Lam beams, to run new electrical wiring and 2" electrical conduit in our big house addition. I had previously been using a Rigid 18V cordless impact drill. I burned one of those Ridgids up, (but I liked it enough to buy another), in a Glue-Lam, and twisted off a dozen or so auger bits and drill bit extentions. It seemed I needed a beefier drill motor, ideally an angle drill, and one that accepted larger-diameter bits than the 1/4"-shank Irwin and Milwaukee quick-change auger bits, which twist off easily. I was thrilled to find the new Milwaukee cordless 28-V angle drill!
Its benefits:
-It's got torque and power enough to drill through evrything I've tried, including a few 2-1/2" holes through fat Glue-Lams, and countless 1-1/4" holes through stacked dimensional-lumber framing and Glue-Lam beams. It is possible to stall it out, but it's not easy or final;
-It accepts 1/2"-shank auger drill bits and 7/16"-shank bit extensions, which are stout enough not to twist off and break while drilling through big lumber;
-It's cordless! The convenience of that makes moving around the job site, and therefor also makes drilling, much faster.
-It's a true angle-drill, and fits easily between framing studs and other tight places;
-although it has a keyed, rather than a keyless chuck, I find that I can tighten and loosen it adequately with my hand, and rarely use the key.
Its disadvantaes:
-It's difficult and inconvenient to change/rotate the drill head. Fortunately I don't really need to do that much, and maybe never actually need to;
-I go through a single battery pretty fast. A second battery living on the charger is a must!
-It's on the heavy side;
-It's definitely slower than, say, a Milwaukee (corded) "Hole Hawg", when drilling through a single piece of wood. It makes up for much of that difference over the course of a day, though, in the conveniece and speed that derives from being cordless.
-I wish it was compatable with the 30-inch extension bar, "Milwaukee 48-95-0400 Right Angle Drive Extension", which could enable much ladderless over-head drilling;
-The side-handle seems a weak after-thought, and quickly strips its threads.
I love this drill! It's held up well to heavy use over the last 5 months, and is still going strong. It's advantages far out-weigh its weaknesses, and I would readily recommend it to others.
