Description

The Milwaukee 0299-20 is a professional-grade heavy-duty corded drill with a 1/2 in. (13 mm) keyed chuck, built for demanding drilling work in shops, construction, maintenance, and industrial service environments. Based on the nameplate shown in the photos, this unit is rated at 120V, 8A, with a no-load speed range of 0-850 RPM. That specification set points to a drill designed more for torque, control, and durability than for very high-speed drilling, making it suitable for metal, wood, plastic, and other general drilling tasks where steady power is important.

This tool features the classic Milwaukee Heavy-Duty layout with a robust body, metal front gear housing, and a keyed chuck that helps hold bits securely under heavier load. It is a solid option for users who want a dependable corded professional drill rather than a lighter-duty consumer model.
