Harold Wray Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 I have been thinking about buying a strong drill for mixing mortar, thinset, etc. After some REALLY good advise from everyone (Thank you), I was really planning on buying the Harbor Freight drill for $45. But I though about everything and decided on this beauty. The Milwaukee 0299-20. This Milwaukee is HEAVY DUTY! 8amp will go through anything. Also my wife said it could be an early birthday present. I can't wait to put it through its paces. https://docs.google.com/file/d/0Bz0O0_CYkY8IakFCejZWdFNXZXc/edit?usp=sharing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefighter4187 Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 Wow, that really looks tough, thats how I will start posting pictures, on google drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Wray Posted August 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 This forum system kept saying I didn't have enough space to upload so I'm just putting them on google drive. It's a link but its fine. The drill is slick. I think the first thing I'm going to use it for is mixing leveling compound. We have some sloped parts in the house. As you know my m18 started smoking when I was mixing some grout. I didn't want to hurt it any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefighter4187 Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 Yeah mixing compounds and paint is a hefty task for a cordless tool. I will be mixing paint soon with the fuel, I will make sure to get a video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ETS7345 Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 Nice drill Harold! Thanks for the idea for posting pictures. I never even thought of that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conductor562 Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 Awesome buy Harold. I think I'm going to get the Ridgid mixing drill. Almost bought it today, but I chickened out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 It's weird to see a keyed chuck on a drill you really don't see them all that much now except on heavy duty corded drills. Chuck keys were the bain of my early years of using power tools you could never find one when you needed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric - TIA Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 Nice looking drill. I will see why it's not letting you guys post pictures. Give me a couple days to try and figure it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conductor562 Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 I tried to find a setting to eliminate the file size limit, but couldn't find one. Also, it's very picky about what websites you link pictures from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric - TIA Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 I think it is fixed. Can someone try to upload a picture. I think the file size limit is 10MB. I am not sure if that is per picture, total upload for your whole account of total upload per post. I believe that is per picture. If the size needs to be increased, I think we can do that also.
