Description

Milwaukee 2787-22HD M18 FUEL™ Magnetic Drill Kit – 18V, 2 Batteries

The Milwaukee 2787-22HD M18 FUEL™ Magnetic Drill Kit is a professional-grade cordless magnetic drilling system engineered for steel fabrication, structural steel work, and industrial construction applications. Powered by Milwaukee’s POWERSTATE™ Brushless Motor, REDLINK PLUS™ Intelligence, and M18™ REDLITHIUM™ battery technology, this magnetic drill delivers exceptional drilling performance without the limitations of a power cord.

Featuring a self-powered permanent magnetic base with up to 2,000 lbs. of holding force, the drill maintains secure attachment to steel surfaces even if battery power is depleted. With a 1-1/2-inch annular cutter capacity, 1/2-inch twist drill capacity, and two-speed gearbox, it provides the versatility needed for a wide range of metal drilling applications. The integrated Auto-Stop Lift-Off Detection system enhances jobsite safety by automatically shutting down the motor if excessive movement is detected during operation.

Designed for fabrication shops, steel erectors, mechanical contractors, and industrial maintenance professionals, the Milwaukee 2787-22HD combines cordless convenience, powerful performance, and advanced safety features in a durable, jobsite-ready package.

Milwaukee 2787-22HD M18 Magnetic Drill Kit – 18V, 2 Batteries: Buying Considerations

The Milwaukee 2787-22HD M18 FUEL™ Magnetic Drill Kit delivers powerful cordless metal drilling performance with a 1-1/2-inch annular cutter capacity, self-powered magnetic base providing up to 2,000 lbs. of holding force, and advanced Auto-Stop Lift-Off Detection technology. Complete with two M18™ batteries and a charger, it is built for professional steel fabrication, construction, and industrial applications.

Before ordering the Milwaukee 2787-22HD M18 Magnetic Drill Kit – 18V, 2 Batteries from Milwaukee, review the points below against your actual site conditions and workload. Published specifications describe the equipment under test conditions, and real-world performance depends on how closely your application matches those conditions. Buyers in the United States, Canada, and Asia should also confirm local voltage and frequency requirements, applicable safety or emissions standards, and freight or import logistics for the destination before finalizing an order.

What to Check Before You Buy

• Match drill capacity and motor power to the material and hole diameter actually being drilled most often, not the largest occasional job.
• For magnetic drill presses specifically, confirm the magnet's holding force is rated for the material thickness and mounting orientation (overhead work reduces effective holding force).
• Check chuck/arbor compatibility with the annular cutters or bits already owned before assuming universal fit.
• Verify coolant delivery method matches the material – dry cutting significantly shortens cutter life on steel.

Do magnetic drills work on painted or coated steel?

Magnetic holding force is reduced on painted, rusted, or coated surfaces since the magnet needs direct contact with bare steel for full rated holding power. Manufacturers typically specify a holding-force derating for coated surfaces – check the spec sheet before working on anything other than clean bare steel.

For sizing help across the full Drills category, compare specifications side by side before committing to a specific model, and confirm current pricing, availability, and freight details for your location. Keep the supplier data sheet and any acceptance criteria on record for future maintenance and replacement decisions.
