One notch past 10 and you lock the drill into a drilling mode which turns off the electronic chuck. On the back side of the grip are the variable electronic clutch settings that go from 1 being the lightest setting to 10 being the highest. Just below the trigger is a flip switch that controls the direction of the drill and also, when it is placed in the middle position, locks the trigger from being depressed. The trigger is paddle style where you use most of your fingers to control the variable speed of the drill. The 3/8″ chuck has a plastic outer shroud and it features a ratcheting tightening so that you can be sure to get a good “bite” on your bits. The gear box behind the chuck is metal and so is the gearing inside to help ensure long life. The main body of the drill is composed of a tough red colored ABS plastic and about 75% of the drill body is covered with black rubber overmold. This rubber overmold adds a convenient grip in awkward positions, but also helps to protect your work piece from damage. The right angle drill is constructed in a very similar way as the rest of the M12 line of tools. The 2415-21 Milwaukee M12 3/8″ Right Angle Drill Kit came in the normal Milwaukee cardboard box retail package. Inside the box was a soft-sided zippered carry case, one 12V lithium-ion battery pack, 30 minute quick charger and the right angle drill. It is one of those types of tools that before you use one, you might think, “when would I ever use that?” but after a few uses, you then say to yourself “How did I ever work without it!” You see, the 2415-21 Milwaukee M12 3/8″ Right Angle Drill is not meant to be a regular drill replacement but is rather a specialized use kind of tool. The reason it has taken us a while to write up this review is because, like many specialty type tools, we need specific applications to test them and they do not come up every day. Needless to say, we have had this tool in our shop for a good while now. A little while back, the folks over at Milwaukee sent over the 2415-21 Milwaukee M12 3/8″ Right Angle Drill Kit for us to test and review.
