Milwaukee very recently released a new M12 product – the 2415-21 cordless right-angle drill/driver. The main selling points of this driver are its super-compact size, 3/8″ chuck, speed control, 11-setting electronic clutch, and runtime battery gauge.
The only thing we read about Milwaukee’s right-angle drill/driver that we didn’t quite like is that the kit only comes with one M12 lithium-ion battery.

The new right-angle driver is not yet available in-stores, but we searched around and found that it is available for pre-order via Ohio Power Tool for $139.

Bosch I-Driver, beware, there’s a new RA drill in town!

Sep 30, 2009 at 11:05 pmTrue, but it has a 3/8″ chuck whereas the Bosch has a 1/4″ hex bit holder. I refuse to use 1/4″ hex shank drill bits.
On paper, the Milwaukee also has 25% more power than the Bosch.
Fundamentally speaking, the Bosch I-Driver and this new Milwaukee cordless RA drill are not exactly interchangeable.
Since I find myself needing a RA drill more than a RA driver, the Milwaukee version is a few places higher on my wishlist than the I-Driver.
What it comes down to is whether a swivel-head or standard chuck is a higher priority. In a perfect world, why not have both?!! (In case you’re wondering why I can never own both, it’s most certainly not because of my wife. Of course not.)
