Ok, having been a dewalt 20v user many, many years, these m12 tools are my foray into Milwaukee battery tools. This impact driver, Fuel Surge model (hydraulic) has got to be the smoothest impact driver I've ever heard or used. Absolutely outstanding and worth every penny. Great for literally every household use I can think of. The 20v tools now are just a standby for heavier-duty jobs.

I compared this to my normal driver and the only advantage that I see is that it’s quieter everything else seems to be the same as my older impact driver that’s the same size they almost look identical. Still it’s a great Milwaukee product and I highly recommend if you have the extra bucks

I love this thing. Light, battery lasts a long time. I’ve never heard an impact driver that’s more quiet. It can spin fast enough and smoothly enough for my 1/4” drive step drill. Tons of torque for all the equipment hardware I use it on. If I were to have a single power tool around the house, this would probably be it. I use it for laboratory equipment repair on a daily work basis, and it’s overkill for most tasks. Also the quietness is incredible helpful in an office environment.

I have two of these now. I've been using the other one for over a year without an issue and it is absolutely a beast for its size. The torque control on it is very good if you're doing something delicate the variable speed is super sensitive and easy to go slow if you need to but it also has the power to drive in even the toughest lag bolts. It's super compact and feels good in your hand even if it is a bit heavy. It's quiet compared to my other impact drivers and the battery life is decent with the small 2.0 or 3.0 ah batteries. If you put one of the bigger 5.0 or I believe they even have a 6.0 M12 battery now you'll be running all day without worrying about power.$100 for this tool is a steal!

This is my first Milwaukee tool, and one of the first power tools i’ve bought new. Coming from eBay 12v lithium Makita brushed drills/drivers, of course the jump from brushed to brushless is impressive. Despite loving the fine, instant and precise trigger actuation of my Makita tools, this definitely competes and maybe isn’t exactly as slick, but in use I’ve never noticed a difference. In terms of everyday usability, it’s surprisingly heavier which is the sole reason I went 12v for both lineups but in use I absolutely don’t mind the extra weight. It’s never felt cumbersome or uncomfortable.Now for the elephant in the room, the hydraulic impact mechanism. Not only is it substantially quieter which I love and is honestly the main reason I bought it, but the impacts are both more precise and repeatable between screws. It feels like my old Makita just “goes ham” and makes a racket, this M12 Surge quietly cranks out precise repeatable and powerful blows. It feels more smooth premium and controlled.My favorite features are, in order: the quietness of impacts, selectable speed, one handed bit chuck, and precision/premium feel of using it day to day. I’m really happy Milwaukee is still giving their m12 line some love as not everyone needs the power and increased weight and bulk of 18/20v lineups. Overall this is my new go to for driving screws and such into anything as it’s honestly just satisfying and easy to use. The price is actually pretty fair considering I’m usually a value shopper and don’t buy new. I’m impressed and hope to get a long life out of it. I feel and see no reason why it wouldn’t last, and if it somehow doesn’t I like this enough I’d consider purchasing another if that day comes.

Me gusta por qué hace menos ruido que una llave de impacto tradicional. Es compacta y de excelente manufactura. Tiene 4 modos. En el modo 1 se puede usar para cosas delicadas y minimizar el daño a las puntas que no están diseñadas para impacto y tornillos mas delicados y esta es la principal razón por la que compré la herramienta. No la uso para tareas pesada por lo cual no puedo opinar con respecto a eso.

Awesome tool I’d give it 5 stars but was just a wee bit disappointed. Everything’s fine except it doesn’t have the torque I need. I work in an industrial environment and sadly this didn’t have enough umph but still a great tool.
