Looking at picking up a cordless rotary hammer drill, was thinking a m12 but maybe a m18 would be better?
Nothing has been mentioned yet about a M18 fuel rotary hammer, but I’m bet we will see it at this years Milwaukee product event.

I wouldn’t bet against you. I’d say that’s spot on.
It will be here in the fall! I for one am very excited for it. I’m getting the bigger one, it’s either 1-1/4 or 1-3/8 drill bit capable. Don’t really get why they came out with the 1″ and the larger one at the same time but I guess if you know for sure you’ll never need larger than a 1″ bit then it should save you some bucks.

I’m pretty sure its a price thing. Someone needing a fastener drill will be happy with the 1″ but someone looking to chip and drill through holes is going to need that 3.3ft-lbs force. I for one am getting the 1-1/8″ drill. I use my M18 for chipping electrical boxes all the time and am very happy with its performance but it’s 1.3ft-lbs, compare that to the new 3.3 and I bet it’ll make the one I have look like a joke LoL!
Ya i can’t wait, anyone know the weight difference between the 2 models?
I can’t remember exactly but all the specs are on Milwaukee’s website, plus the 1-1/8 has a handle with vibration isolation on both ends with the 1″ version only having isolation on the top half of the handle – I’m sure for long use the vibration isolation and a little extra weight will actually make the larger version easier to handle
Hmmm its says the 1″ is 8.5 pounds and the 1 1/8 is 7.7 pounds, that sound a bit backwards.
Yeah that definitely doesn’t sound right…
