Milwaukee Tool is dedicated to solving user challenges and improving their day-to-day experience through game-changing tools and equipment. The company is now offering its next generation of high-performance drilling and driving solutions with the M18 FUEL Drill and Impact.

Leading as one of the most powerful solutions on the market, the M18 FUEL 1/2″ Hammer Drill and M18 FUEL 1/4″ Hex Impact Driver deliver the fastest driving speeds and with enhanced safety.

“Our M18 System has always been performance-driven and trade-focused,” said Jeff Morman, senior product manager for Milwaukee Tool. “While developing our new drills and impacts, we took the same approach with a heightened focus on meeting the needs of the professional tradesperson. Relentless user research led us to find power, speed, and safety the top priorities for users. Our advanced M18 FUEL motor technology delivers the ultimate combination of these features without trade-offs or the sacrifice of performance.”

True to all M18 FUEL solutions, the new hammer drill and impact driver combine three exclusive innovations — the POWERSTATE brushless motor, REDLITHIUM battery pack, and REDLINK PLUS intelligence — to deliver power, speed, and control.

 The M18 FUEL 1/2″ Hammer Drill/Driver — featuring AUTOSTOP Control Mode to deliver enhanced safety at a most compact size. The hammer drill delivers 30% more power under load to complete holes in dense woods for greater productivity throughout the workday.  With increased thermal motor capability, users are able to tackle more applications back-to-back with less bog down.

Using data from users in the field and lab correlated data points, Milwaukee leveraged advanced machine learning to account for the numerous and challenging variables associated with drilling a hole with a 1/2″ drill. The combination of real-life and machine data points led to the development of a solution that shuts down the tool’s motor to prevent over-rotation.

The advanced algorithm minimizes nuisances shut-downs that can hinder productivity, delivering the best reacting anti-kickback control on the market. This AUTOSTOP feature delivers a safer drilling experience, providing users with maximum control and reduce kickback during bind-up situations.

This hammer drill/driver is the shortest hammer drill in class at just 6.9″ in length. The improved compact design allows for ultimate access without the sacrifice of power.

 M18 FUEL 1/4″ Hex Impact Driver — increases productivity with the ability to drive through a full range of applications with 30% more speed than other manufacturers. The POWERSTATE Brushless Motor features greater thermal capability that allows users to complete more applications in a row without losing power or speed.

This impact driver is designed with ultimate trigger control that provides end-to-end control, from precise to heavy-duty applications. This feature delivers smoother acceleration to prevent damage to fasteners and material, without the sacrifice of overall power, speed, or finesse while gaining control. The impact driver combines power and best-in-class control to maximize users’ versatility and increase daily productivity.

It also has an improved, compact design at only 4.47″ in length to give users ultimate access with durability and performance. As an added benefit, tri-led lighting reduces shadows and provides greater visibility for a brighter workspace.
