Overview

Milwaukee's 2401-20 is a battery-powered drill/driver weighing 1.8 pounds and measuring about 7 by 7 by 2.5 inches, sized for compact one-handed use. The 20 suffix in Milwaukee's numbering marks a bare tool, tool only, without a battery pack included.

At under 2 pounds and with a small footprint, this drill is built for tight spaces and overhead work rather than heavy-duty boring. A 500 RPM speed rating in the listing suggests a lower-speed setting suited to driving screws rather than fast hole-drilling.

  • Battery-powered drill/driver, bare tool
  • 1.8 pounds
  • Compact 7 x 7 x 2.5 inch body
  • 500 RPM listed speed

Who it's for

Works well for Milwaukee battery-platform owners who want a light, compact driver for everyday screwdriving and small-hole work. Not the pick for someone needing a high-torque drill for large bits or masonry, since the compact size and low listed speed point toward lighter-duty tasks.

Strengths and trade-offs

Drawn from this product's published specifications.

What stands out
  • Light at 1.8 pounds
  • Compact size for tight spaces
What to check first
  • Bare tool, battery sold separately
  • Listed voltage (110V) doesn't match a battery-powered tool, so confirm specs before buying

Performance notes

Light weight and a compact 7 x 7 x 2.5 inch body make this easy to use in tight spots for extended stretches. As a bare tool it needs a battery and charger separately, and the listed voltage (110V) doesn't match a typical battery-powered tool, so it's worth confirming the exact electrical spec before buying.
