Our take on the Milwaukee M12 FUEL 12V Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless 1/2 in. Drill/Driver Kit

The Milwaukee M12 FUEL 1/2 in. Drill/Driver Kit is a compact 12V cordless drill built around a brushless POWERSTATE motor. It delivers 350 in-lbs of torque and up to 1,700 RPM through a 1/2 in. all-metal ratcheting chuck, with a two-speed gearbox and an E-clutch for repeatable driving. The kit includes two REDLITHIUM batteries (a compact pack and a 4.0Ah XC pack), a charger, belt clip and carrying case. At $160 at Amazon as of November 4, 2026, it sits at the low end of its recent range.

Questions and answers

Is the M12 FUEL drill worth it over a cheaper 12V drill?
Yes if you drill and drive daily. The brushless motor, metal chuck and E-clutch are steps up from brushed budget drills, and the kit includes two batteries. For occasional use, a cheaper brushed drill will do.
How does it compare with the M12 FUEL installation drill/driver?
The installation driver has interchangeable heads and an offset chuck for tight spots. This drill has a standard 1/2 in. chuck and more conventional drilling power, so pick it for general drilling and driving.
Can it handle 1/2 in. holes in wood?
Yes in softwood with a sharp bit, but it is not built for hole saws or auger bits above about 1 in. For repeated large holes, use an 18V drill.
What comes in the box?
The drill, a compact REDLITHIUM battery, a 4.0Ah XC REDLITHIUM battery, a charger, a belt clip and a carrying case.
