Does anyone else think that Milwaukee's "Quik-Lok" cord is an incredibly stupid idea? Sure, it makes it easy to change the cord or take it off if you need to store the tool in a small space. However, it introduces a whole new weak link (connector) and it costs a fortune. So you end up with a $17.00 (Home Despot price) 8' cord that will need replacement sooner or later when the connector fails (and I have one that did). For a regular tool, you buy some SJT 16/3 for around $1/foot and a plug for a couple bucks.
The only time I'd think it would make sense is if you were a really careless contractor who had to replace damaged cords onsite every week, or maybe if you needed to keep a drill in a body cavity. Other than that, give me a fixed cord.
