Are you looking for a new Milwaukee drill? Whether you're a first time Milwaukee buyer or a long time big red user, the new Milwaukee drill, the 2904 is one of the best hammer drills on the market. In this video, we're gonna see how it stacks up internally, against the 3rd generation 2804 in a series of hands on tests.
Clint is going to walk you through all the specs, features, and details you need to know about each of these M18 Fuel hammer drills and then share the results from our in house hands-on testing. We run each of these through wood drilling, concrete drilling, and a lag bolt torque test.
So who you got? Old School vs New School! Leave it in the comments!

Got my first Milwaukee drill from a pawn shop used, 1 battery, and 1 charging station (idk what gen it is but will find out). It has done me good but my girlfriend works for a company that is in the oil n gas industry so she has contacts and some of them are Reps. for vendors. . . Well one of them is for Milwaukee so she asked and received a brand new Milwaukee M18 drill with the 2 batteries, side-handle, and charging station in the hard case box for free and gifted it to me. It has been working wonders and makes me happy knowing I have a top of the line drill.

I still have and use the GEN 1 Fuel Drill. I can drill 15 inch self feed bits through 3 inches of OSB, on speed 2! No Joke man! 😂

As an electrician who works in industrial/institution, my gen 3 hammer drill kicks some ass. No problem for drilling and driving. We also have to point out the incredible precision we're getting from a drill! It refuses to fail. Finally, adding HO batteries is just abusing!

You left out the issues with the chuck and clutch. I had the 2804 and bought the 2904 and it's 1,000x better just for those two things. No more having to switch drills to have a working clutch, no more having the chuck loosen itself after drilling a large number of holes.

@bigchungus7720 6 месяцев назад

U can lock it on the 2804

@sammccollum2985 6 месяцев назад

I'm talking about it loosening when it's locked.

@Dead-bl7to 5 месяцев назад

This is big and I’m getting a new one today. The chuck loosening has ALWAYS been a problem with the hammer drill and it’s destroyed so many bits and extensions because it allows it to chew it up when it loosens.

I love my gen 4 but right now it's away getting the gears replaced and a new chuck. It's only 6 months old and it's the 2nd time I've had problems with it. Granted its been user error. Probably over pushed the drill going through brick work and the clutch got a little messed up when using a drill pump, it got a little wet. I like the drill but it's not bomb proof. Lesson learned though, although it can do certain things on a one off basis it's not a long term option. Also my old milwaukee got far more abuse and I'm still using it now while waiting for the gen 4 to return. Sucks that milwaukee won't cover a chuck on warranty either.

Experienced this on my 2804. Didn't wanna let go of the bit 😕

@josephmerz2666 6 месяцев назад

Great info . For me the brand platform has alot to do with Batteries . What happens when better batteries are used .I find those 5AH starve my gen 3 . A question - In either drill does that new forge make much of a jump over the 6ah .And in either drill how does the new forge compare in use to the 12ah battery .

@Brandon_Neil 6 месяцев назад

The torque test channel tested it. The forge battery basically matches or beats the 12ah battery in performance. This drill is incredibly power hungry and there is a pretty sizable power bump from the 5ah to the 6ah ( non forge ) battery, then modest bumps after that going up the stack.

You guys don't use clutch ? Is it mechanical finally or still electric? Why don't you test accuracy? The big issue with Milwaukee drills as they rip off screw heads and destroy smaller fasteners, power is already more than enough.

Overall better. Hate the sound ( loud af ) . Definitely offers better speed and faster concrete drilling.

The one test Milwaukee always fails is durability they just cant perform like this over a period of time

@andrewwillis9759 Месяц назад

I'm sure every tool starts to slow down over constant use over years and years. I keep reading about how after 5 or even 10 years of use people still love there Milwaukee's. Others have bad luck and seem to have tools break nonstop 1 after the other which is odd.
