ECN Forum Forums General Topics of the Trade General Discussion Area Milwaukee 0234-6 drill?

Interesting comments, thanks.

I'd wondered about the Milwaukee "Quik-Lok" connection. I assume this is a kind of proprietary twist-lock style connector, with the prongs recessed into the bottom of the drill handle?

The trigger aspect is one thing which I'd wondered about just from looking at the pictures. It certainly looks as though it might be a little awkward to carry the drill by the handle without accidentally squeezing the trigger.

Where exactly is the lock button for the trigger located? It's not clear from the photos. Come to that, where and what type is the reversing switch on this model?

I had a 5.5 amp drill, not enought power for me, so I upgraded to the 8 amp one. Better use the handle! lol

I have 2 of those drill, 1 is a early model (S/N is in the 8000s)w/ a all plastic body including the gear case, the other model has been a great drill taking more abuse then I would care to 'fess up to,there was a comment about the Quick-lok cord,one of Milwaukee's weakness' is the cheap rubber cords, and renosteike's post about the availibilty of it would be a point to ponder.


With all the posts extolling the impact driver, it looks like it's the next tool to consider....
