Milwaukee MIL2606-20 M18TM Compact Cordless 1/2" Drill Driver 18V M18 1,800 RPM

The Milwaukee MIL2606-20 is an M18 compact cordless 1/2 inch drill driver, tool only, M18 battery system, 18V, 1,800 max RPM, brushed motor.

Tool only is the specification that catches people out, and it is worth being direct about: there is no battery and no charger in this box. For anyone already running M18 tools that is exactly right — batteries are the expensive part and a second charger is clutter. For anyone buying their first M18 tool, this is a drill that will not turn on.

Brushed is the motor specification and it is an honest tier rather than a deficiency. Brushed motors are proven, simpler, and cheaper. What they give up to brushless is runtime per charge, longevity, and power density — the brushes wear and eventually need replacing, and the motor wastes energy as friction and heat. For occasional and light duty, brushed is sensible value.

Note that this catalogue lists another 2606 drill with a different stated speed range. Confirm the specification against Milwaukee's data before publishing.

The compact designation means a shorter head length, which is what gets a drill between joists and into cabinets. Compact drills trade torque for access.

The 1/2 inch chuck takes larger bits than a 3/8 inch and adds bulk.

Applications include general drilling and driving, maintenance, and assembly.
