Bosch and Festool have one here in the US but for some reason Milwaukee has not released it here. WHY?

because they don’t think we deserve nice things.
Ha! How nice could it be? It’s Milwaukee 💩
I have no idea why they haven’t sent this over here and like the Bosch it’s got the offset chuck which Festool STILL doesn’t have on it’s compact drill!
It’s odd the NINA tools that exist for poor Bosh users its gotta be real frustrating it takes forever for new tools to make it over
Is this the new fuel model? Yes Europe had a brushed version then it recently got updated to fuel. North America hasn’t seen either.

You should buy it! I’d love to get a discounted price in the for sale section in a few weeks 😛
I’ve got the non-fuel version that I imported from Belgium. I love the offset chuck, but the fit and finish of the tool doesn’t quite match up to the Bosch. For example, you can’t chain the chucks – i.e. put the offset chuck on after the right angle (at least I don’t think you can. Now that I’m typing this, I recall that it didn’t look like you could, but I don’t recall actually trying to do it and it’s too damned cold in the garage to check right now) The chucks themselves are also a bit fiddly to get on and off and not nearly as smooth.

You can chain the chuck.
That said this appears to have been out for at least 4 years.

I believe you. Like I said, the chuck collars are a bit fiddly and it’s entirely possible that I thought it couldn’t be done because I was having difficulty getting it to click in.
Now I’m going to have to break it out when I get home to try for myself.
There is also a hammer drill driver version
The new fuel version is up on ToolGuyd
I literally look at the Bosch one every time I go into Lowe’s. I am trying hard to not get into another brand but it’s soo nice.
Right now I have Milwaukee m18/m12, Ego and B&D(just a string trimmer that won’t die). I’m thinking really hard about Ryobi with their underwater vacuum so getting into Bosch is a terrible idea…terrible idea, stop thinking about it damnit!
