The Milwaukee 2410-22 earns the Editor's Choice award, based on thorough objective tests of six 12-volt drill/drivers that use regular chucks. The Milwaukee has more power and speed than the other drills, and is the only model to provide a fuel gauge. The main drawbacks are weight and, for some users, the big handle.
