Our take on the Milwaukee M12 Subcompact Drill Driver

The Milwaukee M12 Subcompact Brushless 3/8" Drill/Driver is a 12-volt drill built for tight spaces: 5.4 inches long and under 2 pounds with battery. Its brushless motor puts out 350 in-lbs of torque and up to 1,550 RPM, and the kit ships with two 2.0 Ah batteries, a charger and a bag. The best new price is $52.00 at eBay as of November 4, 2026, well below what this kit usually sells for, so it is a strong buy if the listing is a complete kit.
