About This Product
The Milwaukee M12 FUEL SURGE 1/4 in. Hex Hydraulic Driver is the industry's first 12-Volt hydraulic impact driver. Featuring the FLUID-DRIVE Hydraulic Powertrain, the hydraulic impact will allow users to experience operation up to 2X quieter with less vibration for smoother and faster driving speeds compared to standard impacts. The compact size of the tool and battery provides users with unmatched access in tight spaces & allows for easy transport on a tool belt and easy fitting into a job site tool bag. Performance is not sacrificed despite lower peak torque due to its Longer Sustained Torque that allows the tool to complete core users most common applications. The POWERSTATE Brushless Motor delivers up to 0 RPM-3,000 RPM with constant power output to drive screws faster. Built-in REDLINK PLUS intelligence is the most advanced electronic system on the market, preventing damage to the user's tool and battery caused by overloading or overheating. The cordless impact driver is compatible with all Milwaukee M12 REDLITHIUM Compact Batteries or Extended Capacity Batteries, delivering users with more work per charge and more work over the life of the pack than competitive batteries. The impact driver's 4-Mode DRIVE CONTROL provides users with greater control over output speed and power for greater versatility in a wide range of applications. Self-Tapping Screw Mode reduces walking when users are self-tapping screws as well as reduces overdriving, breaking and stripping out screws.
Highlights

Questions & Answers
Does the surge have more torque than just the m12 fuel
The M12 FUEL Impact Driver (2553) max torque is 1,300 in-lbs and the M12 FUEL SURGE Hydraulic Driver (2551) max torque is 450 in-lbs. If you need maximum torque, the regular M12 FUEL Impact Driver beats the SURGE by nearly 3X. If you need quieter, controlled fastening, SURGE wins.
Could this be used to polish small areas on my car’s paint?
No—using the M12 FUEL™ SURGE™ 1/4" Hex Impact Driver to polish car paint is not recommended. Using adapters on an impact driver for polishing is unsafe for paint finishes and not supported by Milwaukee.
How do you limit the amount of Torque when you are installing fasteners that can strip or break? Or driving screws into softer materials? Will a lighter trigger setting reduce the speed and torque?
To limit the torque on the Milwaukee M12 FUEL SURGE 12V Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless 1/4 in. Hex Impact Driver, you can use its 4-Mode DRIVE CONTROL feature. This allows you to adjust the output speed and power to suit your application, such as installing fasteners in softer materials or preventing stripping or breaking screws. Additionally, the Self-Tapping Screw Mode is specifically designed to reduce overdriving, breaking, and stripping screws, making it ideal for delicate tasks.
