I have been a Milwaukee M12/M18 Fuel user for a few years now. I was installing some Sail Shades, and driving 1-1/2″ #10 screws into wood. The M18 Fuel Impact I was using was LOUD, since I was right at the roof line, and the echo was pretty deafening. After considering both the M12 and M18 Surge, I decided on the M12, since it’s slightly smaller, and both have the same 450 IN-LB of torque.I have used the new M12 Surge Impact for a lot of projects since: 1) two ceiling fans, 2) recovering some porch chairs (removing the seat from the frame), 3) removing cabinet doors to install a new bathroom faucet, 4) install curtain rods, 5) install a shower grab rail.The most impressive feature to me are the very low torque on setting #1, it is way more controllable than my old M12 Fuel impact.Other Milwaukee Tools I own and love: M18 5-inch grinder, M18 6-1/2 saw, M12 Fuel Hackall, M12 Jigsaw.

The Good:I purchased this online as a kit a little more than a year ago and I absolutely love it! this is hands-down way better than Milwaukee’s Fuel M12 impact, which i own. I use it for doing HVAC work hanging ductwork. this is by far the best compact impact you can buy.The Bad:1- I now have two batteries that are going bad. after doing some online research there seems to be some issues with the contact points between the batteries and the impact itself. I always let the batteries run out before I charge them, and I never charge them using a generator. 2- my second issue, is the LED battery indicator lights on the side of the impact are almost nonexistent now. it’s getting extremely difficult to tell what the battery level is.overall would I recommend this to somebody else? Yes. I know the batteries are expensive to replace those and even with the LED indicator lights not working this is still a phenomenal impact.

Picked this up for electrical work. It replaces my compact impact for most purposes. Saves weight and space on my tool belt. Great on finishing jobs

I’ve been using this at work for a few weeks now and even the small batteries will last me most of a day driving 3″ in soft woods. Is it the most powerful tool on the planet, no but it gets the job done and my bags appreciate the smaller form factor and the lower weight. Its also gotten the attention of my coworkers for its quiet operation.

Super strong and speedy. Extremely low vibration. I actually can’t believe how good this really is. Well worth the money as long as it lasts.

It’s a great little impact, it doesn’t have near the power of a 12 volt but it works great and is really quiet.

Excellent

No match! Pure sickness

Would definitely recommend this tool. Quieter than other impact drivers and having multi level power settings is a game changer.

Compact and well built. Love the quiet impact feature. I would highly recommend this tool. Battery life seems to be really long for the little time I have had it.

This is the 1st impact driver I have had. I have always used drills for driving screws. I framed a workshop with screws and will probably never use a standard drill to drive more than 3 screws again. This thing is light, battery life is great and it makes driving screws easy on the body and drastically reduces stripped screws. Love it!! Can not believe I went so long not realizing the greatness of an impact driver.
