- Is the M18 Fuel impact driver worth it over a brushed driver?
- For frequent or professional fastening, yes. The brushless motor, four drive modes and 5.0 Ah batteries give more power and runtime than brushed kits, and owners report long service life.
- What is included in the kit?
- The kit includes the impact driver, two 5.0 Ah M18 batteries, a charger and a carrying case. Confirm the exact bundle on the listing, since Milwaukee also sells bare-tool and single-battery versions.
- Can it drill holes?
- Only with hex-shank drill bits or an adapter. It has a 1/4-inch hex quick-change chuck, so it is a driver first; for regular drilling, pair it with an M18 drill.
- How does it compare with the M18 Surge?
- The Fuel impact driver is louder and more powerful. The Surge uses hydraulic drive for much quieter operation but less peak torque, so choose the Surge for noise-sensitive jobs.
- Does it work with other M18 batteries?
- Yes. It runs on any Milwaukee M18 pack, from compact 2.0 Ah to high-output packs, so it shares batteries with the rest of the M18 line.
- What is the self-tapping screw mode for?
- It controls speed and torque so self-tapping screws seat without stripping or snapping. It is aimed at metal framing and similar work.
- Where is the Milwaukee M18 Fuel 1/4 Brushless Impact Driver Kit cheapest?
- At Ace Hardware, for $458.00, as of our latest check.
