Q:Which impact is better? The m18 fuel �" impact drill or the m18 fuel surge �" impact drill? I'm a plumber if that matters

by|Jan 16, 2024

1 Answer

Answer This Question

A: I’ve used both. The regular fuel has slightly more power, but they are basically the same and have negligible difference. Surge is noticeably quieter than the regular Fuel. You can’t lose no matter which one you choose.

Q:Is the 18 volt milwaukee impact driver comparable to a dewalt 20 volt impact driver

by|Dec 31, 2023

0 Answer

Answer This Question

Q:Has anyone noticed that if you take the battery out when no lights are on, and pull the trigger, the lights come on for a second and then off? If you remove the battery while any of the lights are on, then nothing happens. My other M18 fuel doesn't do it.

by|Jul 15, 2023

1 Answer

Answer This Question

A: It?s a residual power, there was a tiny bit of juice left in the drill, powering it only gave the lights just enough power to kick on but nothing more. If you pull the battery out while it?s running it kills anything that potentially sorted up?..

A must have tool, looks and feels great.

I love this tool! I waa excited when I purchased it online and had to wait for it to ship to store, could have got it delivered to my home the next day but felt safer waiting. It has tons of power, feels great in the hand, can't wait to use it on a big project.

Milwaukee M18 FUEL 18-Volt Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless 1/4 in. Hex Impact Driver (Tool-Only)

Milwaukee M18 FUEL 18-Volt Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless 1/4 in. Hex Impact Driver (Tool-Only) review: This is the latest development of the famous Milwaukee impact driver. They have moved the single light from in front and above the trigger to three (3) lights surrounding the collet - and that makes viewing the screw and target wood so easy and clear! What a tremendous improvement of the use of this fabulous tool! Yes! No more shadows on the target area! I just love, as in previous versions of this tool, how you can select the driving and impact ferocity by pushing a button on the tool. This is the best impact driver I have ever used. It is brushless - yes. It is also quite small and powerful. Actually, this makes a great drill in speed selection 1 - I use it frequently to drive pilot holes with Milwaukee hex shank titanium drill bits and then pop out the drill bit and insert a screw driving bit. So easy. Yes, this is a tool you want in your arsenal even if you only use it occasionally. This is a tool that just WORKS. Love it. There ya go!

Simply the tool others on the Jobsite will borrow endlessly

This particular ¼ in Hex Impact Driver and other powerful tools available on the M18 FUEL product line will attract the attention of others working with you. This has been only the second tool from Milwaukee while I have amassed many from DeWalt, but the two Milwaukee tools I now own have converted me into a believer that they in fact offer tremendous quality products that withstand the depends of our jobs. This powerful impact driver with its tri-LED lighting; speed control switch (4-way switch control top speed); smooth trigger pull; 2,000 lbs., of torque (yes, that is right); and at just 3.8 lbs., put this class of impact drives above all in my opinion. You almost want to make a grunting sound whenever you need to use the tool to drive large self-tapping screws into a concrete column. The power is being supplied by a brushless motor that you’re beginning to see in other drills. This kit comes with not one but two M18 batteries and a battery charger with as many features as the drill, and with an extra bay for charging smaller batteries that are used with the Milwaukee line of products. Versatility and Growth with a 5-year warranty. Complete your jobs sooner with powerful tools.

Great. Powerful Well Designed Super Handy Versatile Impact Driver

Balanced good sized easy to handle- everything it needs to be. More than expected for a quarter inch impact driver. M18 power is my favorite; lasting, quick charging- versatile for a variety of tasks. Compact design fits hand, good grip allows control- keeping driver centered & aligned while applying pressure. Great for DIY use. Trigger control is precise, allowing feathering, especially effective on screws, or hammering, when needed. Used for several DIY tasks & Milwaukee’s Model 2953-20 performed excellent and is easy to use. Easily loosened rusted bolts allowing quick adjustment roller on boat trailer. The ¼” brushless motor has plenty of power and easily removed 3” corroded screws from PT stair treads for a low cost repair. Made disassembling hammock stand super easy & quick. Will be great for use on small engines & equipment. Satisfied with another handy powerful Milwaukee M18 tool. Highly recommend.

Simply outstanding (for this DIY'er, anyway!)

Sometimes reviews for different models get grouped together. This review is for the Milwaukee 2953-22 impact bit driver kit, which includes a 1/4" hex impact driver, two M18 5.0 a/h batteries, a battery charger, and a hard sided tool case. Starting with the hard sided case - fit and finish is excellent. Tool, batteries, and charger are secure when the dual clasps are locked into position. The case offers a space for the manuals (see photo) but no designated space for storing drive bits. If I had one suggestion for Milwaukee it would be to leave room for one or another of their drive bit collections. Everything in one case would be very handy. The hinges are not the flimsy "bendy plastic" design; the hinges swivel on pins (like a dual piano hinge design). There's a swiveling carry handle and a hole for a padlock. Oddly, the Milwaukee user manual says not to store the battery in the tool - but if you use the case as designed there's a slot for one battery and the other battery does stay in the tool. The engineers and technical writers at Milwaukee should talk together and resolve this. (My solution - not recommending it to anyone else - is to store the second battery in the tool as it comes new, but make sure that the forward/locked/reverse switch is always in the locked position when storing the tool (YMMV)). The batteries are the Milwaukee 5.0 a/h M18 batteries, interchangeable with all M18 batteries. Both batteries I received were at a "1 bar" state of charge according to the fuel gauge on the batteries. It took a bit over an hour to get both batteries up to a full charge (not using the kit-included battery charger; I have two M18 "Fast Charge" chargers set up in my basement shop so I was able to charge both batteries simultaneously). For a homeowner / DIY'er those batteries provide a LOT of run time. Of course, run time is dependent upon the work at hand (some fixtures require a lot of force, others not so much, ambient temperatures vary, etc). For quick jobs (such as assembling a metal shelving unit) I'm using a 2 a/h battery because it's lighter and will get the small jobs done. The 5.0 a/h cells weigh more - but I'd be hard pressed to run both of them to empty on any project that I'd normally tackle around the house - especially since one can be on charge while the other is in the bit driver. The tool itself is simply outstanding. I can't comment on longevity expectations, but the fit and finish is top-notch, the controls all work seamlessly, there is no "wobble" after mounting a bit, the trigger control is smooth. I have found nothing to complain about - other than the tool comes with a reversible belt hook that I’ll never use. In many tools such a hook is supplied in an accessories baggie, but Milwaukee delivers the tool with the belt hook pre-installed for a right-handed user. It can be removed using a small straight blade screwdriver (which I did); YMMV but, to me, those hooks just get in my way. It's easier for me when those things come in a baggie - I don't have to uninstall them. There are three LED lamps grouped in a triangle (see photo) for highlighting the work area. These work very well. There's a setting on the control panel ("Self-Tapping Screw Mode" see photo) that is designed to help control the setting of (for instance) wood screws - select that setting, pull the trigger all the way back, and the tool will drive the fastener into the work and stop when the torque is correct. It's a neat feature and appears to work quite well (I only tested the feature; I've not got a project on hand to actually run it through a day's work out). In use the tool has (so far) proven to work exactly as advertised. It's a brushless motor design that doesn't spark and seems quieter than previous "brush motor" tools. You'll still want to wear hearing and eye protection, of course. Balance is good with the 5 a/h battery but, as noted above, for quick tasks I prefer the lighter weight of a 2 a/h battery. I think that the best thing I can say about this new bit driver is that once I got familiar with the controls and got over playing with this new toy, now I don't even think about it; I pick it up, set the controls, install a bit and go to work. No muss, no fuss, the tool simply works well. The tool comes with a 5-year warranty, the batteries have a 3-year warranty (see photo) and there's a 90-day return policy from Home Depot.

Questionable YouTube reviews.

There seems to be something off about a lot of reviews especially on YouTube which I think is influencing reviews left on Home Depot and other sites. First watching the YouTube reviews a lot of things weren’t touched or even talked about. So I headed over to Home Depot to pick up a set of the new Milwaukee driver and drill (Generation four) and take advantage of the free battery promotion so I could run some test of my own. 1) The trigger control on the GEN4 compared to the GEN3 is noticeably better and improved. Not only is it smoother and just has a premium feel there is less trigger lag and more range and precision. 2) Power! I have been running 5/16 x 6“ T 30 GRK construction fasteners into lumber also ran T 25 3 inch wood screws into lumber and the GEN four set the screws faster every time. 3) it does have the tri-LEDs which is an improvement over the previous model (GEN 3) but the tri-LED still manage to cast a shadow so it’s a decent improvement but not great. 4) The last thing is something I haven’t had a chance to experience because the set is relatively new but apparently it’s supposed to have A.I /muscle memory the impact will tune itself through repetition of driving the same fastener and become more efficient and faster at that task, curious to see how well this works.

Compact, with plenty of torque

I have several Milwaukee M18 system power tools and I’ve had good success with each one. This 1/4-inch-hex impact driver is my latest acquisition. The main reason I got it was to be able to drive screws in spaces with not much clearance. I’ve used it to drive screws for a countertop installation, used it to install window blinds, and used it to remove bolts while disassembling a suspended ceiling. A fully charged M18 battery powers the driver for a long time. It has plenty of torque and the ability to select between three maximum speeds (1700, 3000, 3900 RPM) is very helpful. I have not yet used the self-tapping screw mode that is intended for driving screws in sheet metal. The three LED lamps on the driver provide excellent illumination of my work area. Driver was made in Vietnam.

Powerful compact 18V impact driver

This is a powerful, compact impact driver. If you already own some Milwaukee M18 batteries, this tool-only driver is a relatively inexpensive option to get a powerful brushless impact driver. This impact driver has a lot of torque, with 4 speeds to improve control. However, I also own the Milwaukee "Surge" Impact Driver, and find that the speed on this non-surge model is quite a bit faster. On setting 2, this impact driver requires quite a bit more finesse and trigger control, as it drives much faster than the Surge model. If you are regularly working with long screws or bolts, the extra speed of this model will be nice. This driver is a "traditional" style impact driver with an anvil design. While it's simple and reliable, it is extremely loud compared to the Surge model. If you don't mind the noise, this model is less expensive, but if you need a quieter impact driver, I would recommend the Milwaukee Surge driver, which is much quieter and I think is easier to control. One very nice feature of this new model is the 3 lights on the front edge of the driver. All of my other cordless tools only have a single light, which always casts a shadow. The 3 lights on this driver completely illuminate the work area and are very bright. I really like the large tool hook that is included with the M18 cordless tools. They work great and make it easy to hang the tool on a belt or pocket, but they don't get in the way. This tool uses the Milwaukee M18 Lithium batteries, and given how compact and relatively light this tool is, I prefer the smaller M18 2.0 size batteries. If you don't need hours of run time, the 2.0 size batteries make this driver well balanced and easy to handle.

Fantastic tool

I love this 18 volt Fuel impact driver. I had on a few years ago and I loved it. It was the best impact I ever had. Until somebody stole off of a job site. I finally replaced it. This is the new generation and it's even better than my old one. Comes with two !8 volt batteries a charger the gun and a hard case. I has four speeds. It has a self tapping screw setting to help reduce stripping out fasteners. A belt clip an led light. Just a great all around tool couldn't be more happier.
