Hey guys, found this Milwaukee M18 Fuel drill at a pawn shop for $60. It looks used but not beat up. Comes with a battery and charger. Is it worth grabbing? I'm on a tight budget but need something better than my current Ryobi.

Dave, I'd check the battery health first. Milwaukee's are solid, but if the battery is shot, that's another $100+. If it's an older model, maybe pass. But if it's a Fuel version and the battery holds a charge, $60 is a steal.

Milwaukee is the best, no question. I've had my Fuel drill for years and it's never let me down. For $60, even if you need a new battery later, you're still ahead. Grab it before someone else does!

I'd grab it just for the collection! But seriously, check the model number. Some older M18s aren't as powerful. The Fuel line is great though. I've got three different Milwaukee drills and they all work like new.

Thanks guys! It's the 2704-20 model. Looks like a Fuel. I'll test the battery before buying. Appreciate the advice!
