M18 FUEL™ ½" Hammer Drill/Driver

The M18 FUEL™ ½" Hammer Drill/Driver is the most powerful drill in its class, featuring AUTOSTOP™ Control Mode to deliver enhanced safety at a most compact size. The hammer drill delivers 30% more power under load to complete holes in dense woods for greater productivity throughout the workday.  With increased thermal motor capability, users are able to tackle more applications back-to-back with less bog down. The M18 FUEL™ ½" Hammer Drill/Driver is the shortest hammer drill in class at just 6.9” in length. The improved compact design allows for ultimate access without the sacrifice of power.

Milwaukee delivers disruptive innovation to the drilling and driving market by being the first manufacturer to utilize machine learning combined with advanced sensors to optimize the user experience and provide enhanced safety. 

Utilizing data from users in the field and lab correlated data points, Milwaukee leveraged advanced machine learning to account for the numerous and challenging variables associated with drilling a hole with a ½” drill. The combination of real-life and machine data points led to the development of an industry-leading solution that shuts down the tool’s motor in order to prevent over-rotation. Furthermore, the advanced algorithm minimizes nuisances shut-downs that can hinder productivity, delivering the best reacting anti-kickback control on the market. This AUTOSTOP™ feature delivers a safer drilling experience, providing users with maximum control and reduce kickback during bind-up situations.

 

M18 FUEL™ ¼" Hex Impact Driver

The new M18 FUEL™ ¼" Hex Impact Driver is the most powerful impact driver, reaching the fastest driving speeds while providing users with ultimate trigger control. This impact driver increases productivity with the ability to drive through a full range of applications with 30% more speed than other manufacturers. The POWERSTATE™ Brushless Motor features greater thermal capability that allows users to complete more applications in a row without losing power or speed. The M18 FUEL™ ¼" Hex Impact Driver has an improved, compact design at only 4.47” in length to give users ultimate access with  uncompromised durability and performance. As an added benefit, tri-led lighting reduces shadows and provides greater visibility for a brighter workspace.

Delivering industry leading performance, the M18 FUEL™ Impact Driver is designed with ultimate trigger control that provides end-to-end control, from precise to heavy-duty applications. This feature delivers smoother acceleration to prevent damage to fasteners and material, without the sacrifice of overall power, speed, or finesse while gaining control.
