Good Drill for Electrical Work (Drilling Studs and Joists)

If you’re looking for a good drill to assist with an electrical project, we like the Milwaukee 0300-20 Heavy Duty 1/2-inch 8-amp Electric Drill.  Unlike lesser 4-7 amp drills that will wear out under a heavy load, the Milwaukee 0300-20 packs enough punch to help you drill through stud after stud (or joist after joist), and thus makes drilling holes for Romex a cinch.  Plus, Milwaukee has a fantastic reputation for long lasting, quality tools.

The Milwaukee is also perfect as an everyday drill.  With its variable speed motor, it can easily double as a drill-driver and is usable on just about every household project that requires a drill or drill/driver.  Other key features include:
