Milwaukee has now released the updated Brushed M12 drills and impacts, they are really neat and look a lot better than the older model, It is nice that Milwaukee is there for everyone, not just for the contractor who needs fuel, but maybe the pro diyer or company’s who are on a budget or dont need the power/ runtime of fuel. These also as you can see have the older style grip which all the brushed tools have vs. the full overmolded with the fuel. The cases are also all red vs red and black with the fuel so as you can see, they are really keeping the 2 lines seperate.
It’s nice they are giving them the new M12 fuel style grip the old M12 was kinda chunky as I have smaller hands.
Nice looking tools.

Yeah sorry I wrote that wrong up there I meant the difference was on the brushed it will still have the lighting bolt come through the center of the grip vs. the fuel where it is fully wrapped around the handle.
Would have been nice if they added the 1/2 inch chuck like the fuel, but then there is less of a reason to buy the fuel plus the brushed tool still has less power.
I don’t know why, but i still like the look of the older m12 impact versus the new one. Just my opinion.
