Overview
The Milwaukee 2551-20 is a 12 volt battery powered drill weighing just 1.2 pounds, with a compact 7.5 by 6.8 by 3 inch body built for tight spaces. The listed 1.5 amp rating and 3000 RPM speed point to a subcompact tool meant for quick fastening and light drilling.
At 1.2 pounds this sits well below full size 18 or 20 volt drills, trading raw power for a size that fits into cabinets, engine bays and other cramped work. The -20 model suffix on Milwaukee tools typically denotes a bare tool sold without battery or charger, so confirm what's included before ordering.

- 3000 RPM speed
- Compact 7.5 by 6.8 by 3 inch body
Who it's for
Good fit for electricians, installers and anyone doing overhead or tight quarter work where a full size drill is too bulky. Less suited to users drilling large holes in dense material who need higher torque.
Pros and cons
- Very light at 1.2 pounds for one handed use
- Compact body fits tight or overhead spaces
- Fast 3000 RPM speed for quick fastening
- Lower voltage means less torque than full size drills
- Likely a bare tool without battery or charger
Performance notes
The 3000 RPM speed and 1.2 pound weight suggest a tool tuned for speed and maneuverability over raw torque, typical of Milwaukee's compact 12 volt line.
