Yes they do Mike and Milwaukee is the only power tool I will buy now and has been for many years.
If you look you can get a Worm Drive for a little under $200.00.


I have a Milwaukee 1/2 drive hole shooter that I have used for 25 years.
Not just around the house but in heavy industry down where you live.
Drilling holes in the heavy I Beam to hang pipe supports and U Bolts.

I will NOT buy the stuff from HD or Lowes I get my stuff on line from people like Houston and Austin Tool Supply.
Some time a go they were making counterfeit Milwaukee tools in China and selling them at flea markets.

I would like to add I have rebuilt many of the high end tools for a lot less money than a new one.
