Our take on the Milwaukee 2904-20 M18 FUEL 1/2" Drill/Driver W/ 48-59-1850 M18 XC5 Starter Kit

The Milwaukee 2904-20 is an 18V cordless hammer drill/driver built around a brushless POWERSTATE motor that produces 1,400 in-lbs of torque and up to 2,100 RPM. It is only 6.95 inches long, so it fits into tight spaces where full-size hammer drills will not. A 1/2-inch all-metal chuck with carbide teeth, a 16-setting mechanical clutch, two speeds and a hammer mode for brick and block cover drilling and driving in one tool. The kit pairs it with an M18 XC5.0 starter kit, so it runs on Milwaukee's M18 battery platform. It suits tradespeople and serious DIYers who want one compact, powerful drill; it is heavier and more expensive than compact 12V or entry-level 18V drills, but it out-torques most of them.

  • SizePraisedThe short body is repeatedly noted for fitting between studs and in tight spaces.
  • WeightCriticisedSome owners find it heavy for extended overhead or one-handed use.
  • Auto-StopMixedUsers value the safety cut-off but say it can trigger during hard drilling until they adjust.

About the Milwaukee 2904-20 M18 FUEL 1/2" Drill/Driver W/ 48-59-1850 M18 XC5 Starter Kit

The Milwaukee M18 FUEL 1/2" Hammer Drill/Driver (2904-20) is a cordless hammer drill with a POWERSTATE brushless motor. It has a hammer drill mode for drilling into brick, block or concrete. The motor can drive 2-9/16" self-feed holes in dense wood. The tool is 6.9" long, which helps in tight spaces and reduces fatigue.

Auto-Stop Control Mode protects against over-rotation if the bit binds up. A dedicated light on the foot of the tool shows when this protection has activated. The 1/2" all-metal chuck has carbide teeth for grip and bit retention. A mechanical clutch helps drive a range of fasteners consistently, and an LED light helps in low light.

REDLINK PLUS intelligence protects the tool and battery from overloads, heating and over-discharge. The kit includes an M18 REDLITHIUM XC 5.0 starter kit, a side handle and an all-metal belt clip.

Questions and answers

Is this a hammer drill or a regular drill/driver?
It is a hammer drill/driver. It has a hammer mode for brick, block and light concrete, plus drill and clutch-drive modes for wood, metal and fasteners.
Does it come with batteries and a charger?
Yes. The kit includes the M18 REDLITHIUM XC5.0 starter kit, which supplies the battery and charger, along with a side handle and belt clip.
How does it compare with the previous M18 FUEL hammer drill?
It is shorter and more powerful than earlier M18 FUEL hammer drills, with Auto-Stop added for bind-up protection. It uses the same M18 batteries.
Can it handle concrete?
It drills small holes in brick, block and light concrete in hammer mode. For repeated or large holes in hard concrete, a rotary hammer is the better tool.
What is Auto-Stop?
Auto-Stop is a control mode that cuts power when the bit binds and the tool starts to rotate, with a light on the foot of the tool showing it triggered.
Does it use the same batteries as other Milwaukee M18 tools?
Yes. It runs on any Milwaukee M18 battery, so it shares packs with the rest of the M18 lineup.
