Great review Eric and I know Dan has to have the DeWalt version of this with the hog ring, how do they compare?
Actually there is no Brusless DeWALT version yet :{
Milwaukee’s fuel line is pure power. Love it. This new impact even has less air vents around the motor. I have the older model and when I’m bracing it on the back I partially cover the vents.
I love this video for a lot of reasons… but THANK YOU so much for the laser!!
Milwaukee’s Fuel line is really setting the pace for tool development right now
What a sexy tool
Another great review! Can always trust your guys honesty on tools!
Thanks Frank!
Seems like a nice tool, but I run 5″ lags with a 1/4″ Brushless impact without much struggle. I’m not sure why they felt like they needed air tools to do the job. Nice review.
Dan, do you have the dewalt non brushless version of this?
i almost got the 1/4″ fuel impact, it would be awesome if you guys gave away some old m18 tools
I am really disappointed in Milwaukee I had to send my m18 hammer drill in for service for a wobble in the chuck and overload protection broke so it stopped working they sent it back the chuck is worse I was trying to put a screw in and it jumped out and i hit my thumb I sent it back again if they do not fix it this time I am going to get rid of Milwaukee
I am sorry to here that Stephen and its funny, I have seen several M18 smoking videos and overload protection failures on youtube. If you are looking to go with a new brand I have some of the DeWalt 20v tools and you can’t go wrong with them I have the DCD 980 as my main and only drill driver, very powerful and great runtime. Prices on these will come down very soon when DeWalt comes out with the new brushless. Checkout eBay, that’s where I got mine. Hope this helps!!
Dan and Eric – thank you guys so much for the laser level!! Super stoked to put it to good use!! Just got it today!
YW :} Thanks for supporting TIA!
Very nice review!
I just picked up the new Milwaukee Fuel 18v set with the hammer drill and impact driver.
I never need an impact wrench for our line of construction.
I ended up with the following:
M18 Hammer Drill
M18 Impact Driver
2 XC M18 Batteries
$100 off when trading in an old battery tool(My local hardware stores’ tool rep had some lying around so I didn’t have to turn in my working tools). They also had a promotion for a free XC battery.
All said and done $323 plus 6% sales tax! What a steal!
3 xc batteries, both drivers, hard case, $100 off and the charger charges my m12 batteries as well!!!!
use this impact daily..fuel 1/2 with pin..tested it to
remove 210 foot lbs…no problem..use this in mechanics alot
one little brute..go to for lugnuts..so far my air
