Hey guys, I bought the M18 Fuel 18V Brushless Cordless 1/2in Hammer drill model 2804-22. Came with 2 5aH batteries. After stumbling upon a few threads that people had issues, I want to make sure this is a good drill to use with the Kdrill before I use it.
Looking for one where did you get it and how much? Decided to not go with the kdrill but looking for the drill.Keep it safe! JDL
Save yourself some grief and get a clam plate for it. The brace handle on them are junk! They will break.
I also run the fuel, on an 8" mora. Changed it the stock handle for a better one, and have had no issues with the drill itself. Plenty of power for the 8" auger.
Which aftermarket handle are you using? I broke mine off on my 2704, but I see they improved the handle design on the updated 2804 drill. Thanks!
I did some trial fitting at work with a few different ones, and most of the handles off other brands don't work because of the shape of the Milwaukee. I found one of the band style handles off a cheap porter cable drill that fit fairly well, been using it all year with no problem.
Tighten it all the way down, then one click back, locks the chuck.
I just got the 2704 M18 that will be mounted on my Ice Kicker 2. Was thinking about the Clam plate, just read about too many guys with auger wobble issues. Been running the Ice Kicker with an old black and decker drill so I'm expecting to see quite an improvement.
Ok not trying to hijack this thread but does anyone know what just a driver drill , 2019 or 18 model number would be? Talking Milwaukee? Looking at the sites I see that most of the drills that/come up are hammer drills I can use a new drill around the place don’t know if I need a hammer drill. Reeds has a good looking deal for a kdrill but decided against the kdrill. So looking to get a a MW with the 1200 torque rate. Or should I get a hammer drill? Again sorry but just looking for a resolution for my inter web search. Thanks!Keep it safe! JDL
2703/2803 is the regular drill. 2704/2804 is the hammer drill. Either will work fine. Some say the hammer drills have beefier internals, but I can't confirm that. I think they're always around the same price, so I went with the 2704 hammer drill last year and it's been working great, except I broke the handle off. The new 2804 model has an improved handle design and I haven't seen anyone talk about breaking one off yet.
