The Milwaukee 0234-6 vs The Milwaukee 0300-20 / 0302-20 ...
I now wanted a drill that would have plenty of power and have a “very controllable” variable control trigger and most of all I wanted this drill to be able to last me the rest of my life and I wanted it to be the best darn drill money could buy... When I got to Lowes, their they both where side by side the 0234-6 and the all powerful 8 amp 0300-20,but wait just a minute the 0300-20 does not have the same rock solid sturdy side handle that is screwed into the metal frame of the 0234-6 so... So after reading mega reviews on the net, I was still having a little trouble trying to narrow it down to one drill,but the Milwaukee 0300-20 and the “Milwaukee 0302-20 a keyless version of the 0300-20″ caught my eye with it’s 8 amp motor and with... So I got off of the phone with him and called another local tool shop and talked to the boss who’s name was Mike and asked him the same set of questions and low and behold he gave me pretty much the same answer which was the 0234-6 is a much... 5 amp motor and that it was a very old model, and I also knew that the 0300-20 was a much newer model with an “8 amp motor” and they cost around the same,so I’m thinking to myself “Duh” that sounds like a no brainer to me…old vs new, 5. I need to also tell you that some people think the 0300-20 and the 0302-20 are just like the 0234-6 but only with more power……WRONG. Now on the other hand I tried to make the 0234-6 side handle flex or bend, no such luck it was rock steady , and the entire 0234-6 is built like a tank and I’m not kidding. Next I tried out the trigger on the 0300-20 and the action of the trigger was not smooth at all, it was very choppy at best,let me tell you their is no way on earth for you to use a drill as a screwdriver if you don’t have smooth trigger action. Now I’m thinking I must be in the Twilight Zone and I’m also thinking does Mike not know that the 0300-20 has 8 amps and the 0234-6 only has 5. I even called Milwaukee tools and talked to a rep and he told me the 0300-20 was just an updated and more powerful version of the 0234-6…. After thinking for awhile I decided to get the 0300-20 over the Keyless 0302-20 for these reasons…. Man I was so surprised at what he had said,and the man that I talked to was the owner of that shop, so I’m thinking to myself he must not know what he’s talking about,I knew a little something about the 0234-6, I knew that it had a 5....
