§ FAQ

Does this drill come with batteries?

No. The 2904-20 is a bare tool — it includes the drill, a side handle, and a belt clip only. M18 batteries and charger are sold separately. For full performance Milwaukee recommends High Output M18 batteries.

How does it handle concrete and masonry?

The hammer drill mode is effective on brick, block, and concrete. Reviewers report it drives anchors and 6 in. hole saw cuts through concrete without struggling.

Is this quieter than other hammer drills?

Multiple users note it runs noticeably quieter than comparable drills, which reviewers attribute to the brushless motor and AutoStop™ system.

What is the maximum torque output?

1,400 in-lbs — Milwaukee's highest in the M18 18V hammer drill lineup, and among the highest across all 18V cordless hammer drills.

Is it compatible with older M18 batteries I already own?

Yes. The 2904-20 works with all M18 batteries. Reviewers with existing M18 inventories confirm straightforward compatibility.

How compact is it compared to other hammer drills?

At 6.95 in. long, it is one of the shortest M18 hammer drills. Users report it fits into tight spaces and overhead positions where bulkier drills cannot reach.
