- Is the M18 FUEL hammer drill worth it over a brushed drill?
- Yes for frequent drilling in wood, metal or masonry. The brushless motor delivers more torque, runs cooler and lasts longer. For occasional light tasks a cheaper brushed drill is enough.
- Can it drill concrete?
- It handles small anchors and holes in block, brick and soft concrete with the hammer mode. For repeated large-diameter concrete holes, a rotary hammer is the better tool.
- What is included in the kit?
- The kit includes the hammer drill, two M18 REDLITHIUM batteries, a charger and a carrying case. Bare-tool versions include only the drill.
- Does it use the same batteries as other Milwaukee tools?
- Yes. It runs on any M18 battery, so it shares packs with Milwaukee's M18 saws, impact drivers and other tools.
- How does it compare with the DeWalt and Makita 18V hammer drills?
- It generally offers more torque and faster drilling, at the cost of extra weight and bulk. DeWalt and Makita rivals are lighter and more compact but less powerful.
- Is it too heavy for home use?
- It is heavier than compact drills, which matters for overhead work. For occasional DIY tasks around the house, a lighter drill is easier to handle.
- Where is the Milwaukee M18 FUEL 18V Lith-Ion Brushless Cordless Hammer Drill Kit cheapest?
- At The Home Depot, for $869.00, as of our latest check.
