312 owner reviews, more than most models here
The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other power tools and workshop machinery we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
The Milwaukee C18RAD-0 steps up to 18 volts and 1,500 RPM, nearly doubling the speed of the M12 2415-20's 800 RPM. That increase matters in harder materials and with larger-diameter bits where the M12 platform can slow down. For crews already running M18 tools, the C18RAD-0 stays within the same battery ecosystem.
At $155.00, it sits between the M12 2415-20 at $109.97 and the heavy-duty Milwaukee 2707-20 at $280.00, giving it a clear value position within the Milwaukee right-angle lineup. With 312 reviews and 100 units sold last month, it has a healthy owner base and consistent recent demand.
The 4.5-star rating is solid, though slightly below the 2415-20's 4.7. The C18RAD-0 is sold as a tool-only unit, so M18 batteries are a separate cost for buyers new to the platform.
Pros
- 1,500 RPM at 18 volts for stronger performance than 12-volt right-angle drills
- 4.5-star rating from 312 verified reviews
- 100 units sold last month confirms active market demand
- Clear mid-tier pricing at $155.00 between the M12 compact and the heavy-duty 2707-20
Cons
- Tool-only listing means M18 batteries must be purchased separately
- 4.5-star average is slightly lower than the Milwaukee 2415-20's 4.7 stars
