Well, I’m delighted to tell you that Conductor is officially the owner of an M18 Fuel Impact Driver. The kit was waiting on my bench when I returned home from Jacksonville in the wee hours of this morning.
After fooling around with it I figured out 2 things. 1. I wish I had made the jump sooner, and 2. I now want to buy the hammer drill and circ saw. The 4.0 XC’s and the multi-volt charger are welcome additions as well. I’ve put power tools on the back burner for too long now.
Congratulations Conductor. Looks real sweet.
Is that the 2653-22?
I have one also 🙂 Its a powerful little sucker…..I like the 3 speed settings (like the 2654) & those 4.0 batteries.
Glad to see you are upgrading!
It’s the 2653-22
The is the tool that made me a milwaukee fan, the 3 speeds are killer… I but the 2.0 battery on mine..light and its a beast!!
Good job conductor now you’re officially a fuel snob
Thats a sweet looking piece of equipment. One of these days ill own a new milwaukee of somekind.
Dang now we can’t make fun of Conductor for not having any Milwaukee Fuel tools now 🙁 Congrats on the new kit though new tools are always fun to open and use the first time.
Conductor, were you expecting this or was it a pleasant surprise?
Welcome to the Red Side

It was an extremely pleasant surprise!
The Multi Volt charger is really cool. I still wouldn’t mind having one of the 6 pack chargers though just for convenience.
I’m too damn jealous to say anything positive

Damn, must be nice… You drop a tool off of a roof and a new, better one magically appears…

Dont know boss she bought you a brand new impact…. not sure it gets much better then that 🙂

I’m pretty sure that “accidentally dropping” Mrs. Conductor from a roof would get you a beefier version. His names Bubba from cellblock D. I don’t think your ass could handle the IPM he puts out though! 😀
I guess the bug has bitten me. Just pulled the trigger on the hammer drill.
Wow, conductor has the full on Fuel fever now!! I think he might need a high torque impact wrench to hemp bring that fever down!
I had the bug earlier, sill waiting for my stuff:(
So how do you like the fuel impact so far, conductor?

I like it. It’s different than the brushed version though. The Brushed model felt and sounded beefy when you pulled the trigger under no load.
The fuel feels and sounds weak under no load, but it’s a beast when it comes down to it.
I guess it’s like comparing a mustang to a Ferrari.
I see what you mean, a refined car is better but theres something about the grunt of raw brute power.
You’ll definitely enjoy the fuel hammer drill, awesome tool. I like how smooth the electric brake is. It doesn’t sound like its breaking something everytime it brakes
