I have been thinking about buying a strong drill for mixing mortar, thinset, etc. After some REALLY good advise from everyone (Thank you), I was really planning on buying the Harbor Freight drill for $45.
But I though about everything and decided on this beauty. The Milwaukee 0299-20. This Milwaukee is HEAVY DUTY! 8amp will go through anything. Also my wife said it could be an early birthday present. I can’t wait to put it through its paces.

Wow, that really looks tough, thats how I will start posting pictures, on google drive.
This forum system kept saying I didn’t have enough space to upload so I’m just putting them on google drive. It’s a link but its fine.
The drill is slick. I think the first thing I’m going to use it for is mixing leveling compound. We have some sloped parts in the house.
As you know my m18 started smoking when I was mixing some grout. I didn’t want to hurt it any more.
Yeah mixing compounds and paint is a hefty task for a cordless tool. I will be mixing paint soon with the fuel, I will make sure to get a video.
Nice drill Harold! Thanks for the idea for posting pictures. I never even thought of that!
Awesome buy Harold. I think I’m going to get the Ridgid mixing drill. Almost bought it today, but I chickened out 🙁
It’s weird to see a keyed chuck on a drill you really don’t see them all that much now except on heavy duty corded drills. Chuck keys were the bain of my early years of using power tools you could never find one when you needed it.
Nice looking drill. I will see why it’s not letting you guys post pictures. Give me a couple days to try and figure it out.
I tried to find a setting to eliminate the file size limit, but couldn’t find one. Also, it’s very picky about what websites you link pictures from.
I think it is fixed. Can someone try to upload a picture. I think the file size limit is 10MB. I am not sure if that is per picture, total upload for your whole account of total upload per post. I believe that is per picture.
If the size needs to be increased, I think we can do that also.

I cant tell you how much I have done that!!
Lets see if this works…
And it didn’t….
Now when I try to upload a picture, it freezes my whole computer…
That’s what it’s supposed to do. Now your computer is owned by TIA. Just kidding.

Hahaha……..have you tried
Here’s a test photo. My daughter and I were at the hardware store. You can tell by her expression she did not want to be there.
Looks like it worked. The site said I had 10mb+/- to upload.
I cant believe I cant get it to work!
Maybe clear cache. I’m using Safari.
Same here, Im on safari.
I am wondering if that is 10mb per upload, per thread etc. I’ll try and find out. Chase I am not sure why it’s not working for you. Harold, how old is your daughter? Doesn’t look like she wants to be there, lol
My daughter is 3. She is a little princess.
And she’s dressed as such! Gotta love kids
That’s awesome. I have two boys 5 and 3.
I’ve got 4 myself. A 7 year old girl, and 3 boys ages 5,4, and 2. I adopted the 5 and 2 year old though.
Wow. You guys have your hands full.

Man that’s awesome, but I bet you never have a quiet time to yourself. I know I don’t, but love it because soon both will be out of the house and it will be to quiet.

I’m looking forward to them being old enough to mow and work the garden 😆
The 5 year old is into movies and toys. The 4 year old is an extremely mechanical little shit who always asks for tools from Santa. The littlest one just whines all the time.
LOL, I wanted to have 9 for my own baseball team, but i guess that would be to crazy around here. It will be nice when they can start mowing and doing other stuff. Your little one sounds like Dan, he whines all the time to.
