Is anybody here an expert on Milwaukee tools?

I have a strange question.

What is the difference between the 2804-20 and 2804-22 hammer drills?

I ordered a 2804-22 off eBay and didn’t look to closely, when I looked this evening it’s actually a 2804-20.

I got this to run my k-drill ice fishing auger and they give a list of approved drills on their website, one of which is the 2804-22. They don’t list the -20 model.

I’m sort of pissed and it looks as if eBay is going to expect me to pay return shipping.

I think the 22 if from the compact set so it’s shorter from the back of the drill to the chuck. I think they offer the same brushless motor and torque output.
The 22 I believe indicates it’s part of a set and the 20 is the bare tool.

Interesting, I wonder why k-drill wouldn’t list the -20 as a suitable model.

Pretty sure it’s just a difference that the 20 is the bare tool with no batteries. The 22 comes with the batteries and charger or in the set.

20 is the drill only, 22 is the complete kit.

I’m glad I asked here, I was about to get all sad over it.

According to the the 20 is a drill/driver and not a hammer drill.

Working on home repairs and maintenances can be challenging, especially if you don’t have the right tools with you.

That looks like the 2903-20 is a driver while the 2804-20 and -22 are hammer drills. I’m still confused though. For a minute I thought the difference was that the -04 came with the case and batteries etc but it’s strange there are reviews comparing the 2.

 

[BRTreedogs]

Ok its definitely tool only.
The 22 kit includes the 20 drill plus batteries and box.

Thank you! This has been an emotional roller coaster for me as I’ve fishing season Is around the corner and it’s become fairly difficult to get anything with batteries shipped up to AK.

20 is the physical drill.

FYI if you're using the k-drill, get yourself a fleet of batteries. I have an Eskimo hand drill that I put an adapter on and it does 20 holes on the XC5.0 batteries. Hooked it up to the k-drill and it did 7 on a fresh XC5.0.

Will do, I have 4 batteries. One review said he got 40 holes per battery. I don't really believe that.

Don't feel dumb about it. Milwaukee could do a lot better on publishing their specs, making it clear what model is current and what it replaced, defining what the 2-digit suffix actually means, and archiving discontinued models on their website. It's kind of a mess over there. I switched to Milwaukee from Makita a couple years ago and have become all too familiar with their shortcomings in the published information department. I do like their tools a lot though.

As some of the other guys stated the 2804-20 is the part number of the drill only. I have 2 of them on the bench right now. The 2804-22 is the part number for the whole kit.

Should of went with Dewalt

Thats what my dad said to me.

 

[Q child]

Meh. Dewalt's published information is similarly as opaque. And their tools are similarly as nice. The real problem is that all these batteries are proprietary - I'd like to see a universal battery. Being locked into a battery platform the way we are is lame, especially when batteries are often more expensive than the tools they power.
