I have a mix of Milwaukee and Bosch power tools and they have been great. I don’t need my big heavy duty drill all the time and wanted a smaller one for easier handling so I bought this one and have been very happy with it. It’s great for the little jobs and tighter spaces. The M12 batteries aren’t up to the extended heavy duty use so the M18 drill would be better for that. But this one is great for the small stuff! Very happy I bought it when there was a sale.

I recently changed brand loyalty from Team Lime-Green to Team Red (yes, I know. Both TTI and Chinese). I currently have some new M12 tools (all FUEL) and plan to expand to M18 as well. I was amazed by the power for the compact size. The only thing I do not like about the Milwaukee brand is the price. I need to drill into masonry and never acquired a hammer drill over the years. I saw the little 3404-20 in a big box hardware store for about $150. I checked Amazon and found this listing from Tartaglia’s Tools – less than a hundred bucks! Too good to be true! I bought it six seconds later. As I waited the two days for delivery, I searched Youtube for examples of the drill being put to the test. It was at this point where this story changes. Many of the videos were testing Genuine Milwaukee tools with counterfeits. Milfauxkee, DeFault and Makinda if you will. Many of the copies came from Amazon unfortunately. So, I started to figure that the “too good to be true” was just that. You get what you pay for. So…when it arrived expected a phony TEMU, Ali Express, Wish hunk of trash. The 3404 arrived in a generic brown box with what appeared to be a genuine Milwaukee operator’s manual. The drill itself was solid and looked “real” enough to be a REALLY good copy or the genuine article. I compared the overall feel of the tool, directional button shape and size, coloring of the plastic, fasteners used and sticker placement, color and spelling. I looked for all the “tells” that the videos showed as tip-offs for a counterfeit tool. I found none. Now I wanted to test it out! I took a small 2.0 battery from my 2505-22 kit and a crappy masonry drill bit (1/4″) that came with a bit kit i got several years ago. I found a paver, a red brick, concrete footing for my deck and a piece of granite. I drilled into the paver and brick as deep I could go with the 4″ bit within 10 – 20 seconds using only medium downward pressure. The concrete footing took a little bit more pressure but wasted no time bottoming out. The chunk of granite, however, only got a half inch deep hole drilled into it using heavy pressure – until the bit snapped. Long story short (too late), this little beast is no phony. This is the real thing. Solid tool. It’s got some really good torque and a bit of a kick too. All this using the tiny 2.0 battery. I will definitely cough up the cash for the 5.0 high output for this thing.
