Perfect!

I rented a similar tool as a proof of concept for my most immediate project - digging a 9' horizontal tunnel under my house to repair a plumbing problem. Once I'd finished testing and knowing I have 5 more projects I can apply the demo hammer to I took the plunge. I'm using a shovel bit and the ease of angle rotation is superior - push on the adjustment ring and rotate to 12 different positions. Bit removal? Same thing, push the ring and pull the bit out. I was skeptical about the power on/off switch not being a trigger-style switch. 30 minutes later and I was a believer in this slider-style switch on the tool, it is by far my preference. This thing is heavy, as was the rental, for man handling in a horizontal application. It is what it is. The weight works for you or against depending on the application. I've ordered the tamper bit and shank and will use it to assist in back filling my tunnel. The forward grab handle it well placed and I leave it slightly loose so I can rotate it 360 degrees with out turning the knob. The rear handle is wide enough to get two hands on to back the tool out when it's stuck. Cord length is good and I use a heavy gauge extension to reach my power source. The case seems just stout enough to get the job done but I've not traveled with it. In speaking with my plumber I told him I was using a demo hammer and he asked "Is it a Bosch?" This suggest to me that anything else would be somewhat less than ideal.

Best chipping hammer in its size range
Rating: 5
No other chipping hammer comes close. We've owner all the other brands these are the best and longest lasting for our plumbing company. Use them for chipping tunneling and digging.

indispensible
Rating: 5
This hammer has helped me dig holes for fences, trenches for conduits, and carving rock for sculpture. It has changed how I think about projects because I can take on so much more with this tool. The hammer is easy to use and doesn't beat me up. I let it do the work and don't push hard on it when hammering. The only concern I have is trying to keep dust from sucking into the motor when a hole is getting deep. I ordered one chisel extra long from a outside source and use that chisel when the hole is getting deep. It would also be great if someone would make a tamping tool when backfilling a hole. I tried making one but can't get a weld to hold with all the impact.

Nothing better
Rating: 5
I work for a large Demo company and my division primarily does interior demo. We have a huge assortment of tools to get most any job done quickly. Along with every brand of tool as well. When it comes to grabbing a tool for a project. The Bosch tools go first. This is the supervisors choice. The other brands go last. Our Bosch tools are used extensively on any given day. With without fail. But, when one does go down . It is sent to the nearest service center and fixed pretty quick. The cost is reasonable, when compared to the use of the tool. Compared to other brands? Why would you by anything else?? I could pick apart the other brands. But everyone has there favorites. Buy what you like. I just buy what works and I can depend on.

Tough
Rating: 5
I still have the model 11220 that this newer unit replaced, and it is Tough! My milwaukee burned out twice, but this guy won't quit. We just broke up some concrete that was supposed to be 3", but turned out to be 7" thick, and hard. This crazy little breaker just kept going like the Big-Guys, and saved me a long drive back to the shop for more horsepower. Keep them TOUGH Bosch, and I will keep buying them. Make them China-cheap and I am gone!

this thing will not die
Rating: 5
I have bought 2 of these used back in 2003 and I still have them, they are very powerfull and get the job done. I love using the ceramic blade accessory it gets the job done. Remember when using this tool to use the appropriate extension cord that allows 15amps, and use it alone on a single circuit. This will prolong life of the tool. Don't use a garden extension!

Hard hitting demo tool with precision.
Rating: 5
We specialize in ADA adaptation of existing concrete. This type of work requires a lot of chipping. I bought my first one in 2010 and the second in 2014 . We've never had a single problem the first still works as well as the newer tool.

Works great!

I bought this to help drive 3/4" x 22' steel thru rods in concrete floating docks damaged in a recent hurricane at my marina, Brunswick Landing Marina in Brunswick, Georgia. I couldn't have done the job rebuilding my docks without it, and it cut our labor hours down by 75%!

Good punch
Rating: 4
Great power vs weight ratio. Great for horizontal and floor hammering.  Must be a strong guy to handle for above head work.  Currently used for 320 hours.  Serviced twice for worn brushes.  No other problems.  Equivalent to or better than a 17lb air hammer.  Cheaper to operational cost than an air hammer. Pros: Similar or better punch than Hilti TE700.  Good value in class performance. Cons: Brushes wear out too fast.  Ergonomic design not as good as Hilti TE700

Easily beats dewalt.
Rating: 5
I'm a millwright. My job requires strong well built tools. I was going through dewalt 20 volts drills. They would lock up and get smoked. This drill has way more power than the dewalt and takes more of a beating.

Strong drill
Rating: 5
This drill is stronger than most electric drills I've ever owned. The electronic clutch doesn't give me the feeling of anxiety that I'm destroying my tool like the conventional clutches do. I am a contractor and use this every day. So glad I went with Milwaukee.

Honestly, a well made drill is an understatement
Rating: 5
I do both residential and commercial almost 7 days a week, most weeks. I have switched over about a year ago to Milwaukee from a big orange colored tool line. Can't say I have regretted it once. I just feel like I don't really treat this thing well...tossed in the work van constantly. this drill is better to use daily and charges fast, battery of course last plenty long enough for what I do. Sometimes lasting over a couple weeks no problem. NO kidding I love this product. It's made to go to work, not just look at

Long time user.
Rating: 5
Hi, I have been using Milwaukee drills for a long time. I was a lineman for 20 years, and I have to tell you guys that I had to pull an electric drill, cord, and bolts and tools up poles in an easement to frame up new builds. Any time I could lighten the load I would. My old Milwaukee drill was a badass and I would not have gave it up for anything. If I would have had this little power house I think it would have been a great substitute. The short amount of time that I've had my new drill it has kicked butt. Very powerful and built tough. The battery lasts, and charges quickly. Just feels good in the hand. Nice product, thanks Milwaukee.

First drill and love it.
Rating: 5
I'm a women about the house, living in the back woods, love the cordless and how long the battery lasts. Easy to change bits and drills. Plenty of power for my projects and repairs. Was recommended to me because of quality construction and durability.

Great for DIY use.
Rating: 5
Bought this in a set with a impact driver. Out performs the dewalt I had hands down. I have a couple of 5.0ah batteries and they last very well and the drill and driver keep power up until the battery is completely dead. One flaw I have noticed is the drill and driver both seem to have some glitch where it randomly doesn't work as if the battery is dead. If you unhook the battery and reconnect it then you are good to go. Other than that this drill is great.

It's not an upgrade from the 2703.
Rating: 4
I blow up my 2703 drilling out bore holes with a 7/8 ager bit. Still trying to find a place to get it rebuilt. Got the 2803 from work and its good, but the torque is just not there it's a good all around drill, but the hammer mode is not the best my 2703 would drill out holes for z nails and plastic anchors in concert and want more. The 2803 gets hot after drilling out 4 aluminum studs 1"1/8th holes for wire. Over all it is a good drill for work. Just have to watch the temperature gauge...lol.

I would buy this again
Rating: 4
Being an electrician can I drill lots of holes into metal wireways (cans troughs etc). This drill works well and I rarely have any issues. The 1st speed is just the right rpms to effectively drill holes with a 1 1/8” hole saw without burning them out.

Don't consider this an upgrade from the 2703 drill
Rating: 2
We use a lot Milwaukee Fuel tools at our manufacturing facility. We bought several of these new drills to see how they perform against the one they are replacing (2703). We are disappointed, it seems Milwaukee backed down some on the Heavy Duty quality. When we are threading steel plates they run out of torques quicker. In a place where the 2703 would just dig in and keep on going, the 2803 just stops, it seems the electronic torque setting is too low.

Problems once again with the new drill driver
Rating: 1
I am going to be as honest as I can be, I am going on my 3rd replacement drill and this one so far has been the worst. The clutch(torque) setting on number 2 with the low speed set on #1 is snapping screws behind the hinges when I'm setting doors, clutch does not break free. When I press the trigger to start drilling intermittently the drill does nothing until I release and re- engage the trigger . This is a brand new tool
