Milwaukee® Continues to Lead in the Subcompact Drilling and Driving Space

Milwaukee® continues to lead the subcompact drilling and driving class with the introduction of their NEW M12 FUEL™ ½” Hammer Drill and M12 FUEL™ ¼” Hex Impact Driver. The M12 FUEL™ Drill and Impact are the most powerful solutions within the subcompact class, delivering the fastest application speeds on the market with the most compact size.

“Through our extensive user research, we gained an understanding of the challenges MEP and MRO professionals were facing with current subcompact drills and impacts. Rather than being limited by voltage, we leveraged our industry leading M12 FUEL™ technology to deliver on the speed and power users look for in a tool, while developing the most compact drill and impacts on the market,” said Jeff Morman, Senior Product Manager for Milwaukee Tool. “Milwaukee’s M12™ System takes 12V to the next level of portable productivity and performance, featuring over 125 solutions that are optimized to be compact, lightweight, and portable for the service trades.”

As with all M12 FUEL™ products, both the M12 FUEL™ Drill and Impact feature three Milwaukee® exclusive innovations – the POWERSTATE™ Brushless Motor, REDLITHIUM™ Battery Pack and REDLINK PLUS™ Intelligence -- to provide more power at greater speeds.

M12 FUEL™ ½” Hammer Drill/Driver

The M12 FUEL™ ½" Hammer Drill/Driver is the most powerful in its class, featuring the fastest speeds under load while being at an industry leading compact size. The advanced motor, electronics, and components deliver the capability to tackle larger drilling applications. With 30% more power, the M12 FUEL™ ½” Hammer Drill/Driver is the most powerful subcompact hammer drill on the market, even outperforming 18V subcompact drills. Designed to increase user productivity, the hammer drill features speeds 33% faster than other manufacturers and improved thermal motor capability that allows for all day use under heavy load. At less than 6” in length, the compact size provides users with the best access in tight spaces.

M12 FUEL™ ¼” Hex Impact Driver

The M12 FUEL™ ¼” Hex Impact Driver leads with the fastest application speeds in the subcompact market, even outperforming impact drivers within the 18V subcompact space. The increased thermal capability delivers a greater capacity to complete applications back-to-back, keeping users more productive throughout the workday. Milwaukee has delivered the most compact impact driver in class at just 5.0” in length to provide best-in-class access in tight spaces. As an added benefit, the tool features tri-led lighting that provides greater visibility and reduces shadows for users to perform applications in the darkest, hardest-to-reach spaces.

The new M12 FUEL™ ½” Hammer Drill and M12 FUEL™ ¼” Hex Impact Driver join the M12™ Cordless System, the largest sub-compact system on the market, focused on delivering industry-leading durability and power in the tightest spaces. Currently the M12™ System is made up of more than 125 solutions.

 

*M12 FUEL™ power tools are designed, engineered, and built to deliver extreme performance and productivity. All M12 FUEL™ products feature three Milwaukee®-exclusive innovations—the POWERSTATE™ Brushless Motor, REDLITHIUM™ Battery Pack and REDLINK PLUS™ Intelligence Hardware and Software—that deliver unmatched power, run-time and durability on the jobsite. Simply put, M12 FUEL™ tools are the most powerful sub-compact cordless tools in their class.
