    Milwaukee has a newer version of the RAD drill in 28volts. Bought it and the
    bit, but have had problems operating the drill in the reverse mode as it
    keeps breaking the cap screw that helps hold the chuck onto the main
    threaded shaft. Into the service shop three times for replacement of the $3
    screw, no issues with these guys doing the work under warranty- talks with
    the factory guys didn't get me very far and gave up the idea of them helping
    with the issue. Was going to weld the chuck to the drill, but my welding guy
    told me to try the 'red' thread lock - this stuff needs heat to break it
    loose once set.

    The red stuff worked great - no cap screw in it as the last one broke and
    didn't replace it. Guess the 18 volt model didn't have the torque this bad
    boy has!
