I’ve had M18 cordless drills for decades. The 12 volt surge is small powerhouse. I’ve drilled 1/4 holes in 2×4’s, driven 4 inch long wood screws, installed ceiling fan screws, drilled though drywall for anchor points etc. This tool makes me smile everytime I use it. I wouldnt use it to put a deck together but it’s perfect for small projects around the house and offers more clearance than a standard size cordless drill. I bought the Milwaukee 1/4″ driver and drill assortment kit and it’s perfect. Milwaukee did a great job on the surge! I never owned the older model impact driver so I cant speak to the difference in noise levels but I can say that this tool is not loud indoors or out.

I was excited to have a more compact alternative to my 18v Makita Driver, and the M12 surge certainly is more compact, but my Makita will remain my first choice. Yes, the M12 surge is smoother and quieter, but not by much. Where the M12 surge falls short, however, is in ergonomics. Because the battery is inserted into the handle, this makes the grip too large to be comfortable. Additionally, when using the 2.0 battery, the weight balance is significantly skewed toward the head. The weight imbalance combined with the uncomfortable grip make the tool slightly awkward to use. I’ll be keeping this around for when I need to access to screws in tight quarters, but for everything else, I’ll keep reaching for my Makita 18v as it is much more comfortable to use.

I bought this set while it was on sale and feel it offers a great value for your dollar. I already own multiple Milwaukee drivers, but love how compact and powerful these are, so I generally keep one in different areas of the house, shed, garage so that they are handy when the need arises. I also love that this kit comes with 2 batteries, as you can never have enough M12 batteries laying around. The saw works great and has come in handy on multiple occasions. I’ve used it to cut up a pallet into more usable pieces of wood. I’ve also used it to help cut up cardboard for recycling. We bought a new house about 2 years ago and as we bought new things for the home, the cardboard packaging from everything really started to pile up. I used this saw to break down the larger boxes and flatten everything into bundles to put out for recycling. Small jobs, medium size jobs… this is a great homeowner tool. If you work in daily construction, you’ll probably want something a little bigger and more powerful.

I love it. Bought 2, so one is my 1/4″ driver and the other is my 3/8″.
Willow Hodkiewicz (verified owner) –
If your interested in this size of tool just buy it with no regrets.
River Harvey (verified owner) –
Really good impact quieter then most drills
Neil Fritsch (verified owner) –
This is the fifth one that I have bought. I really like them, with their small size you can get in some tight spots that you need to do some cutting In.

The surge is a quiet compact impact. If I had to complain it would be to improve the led light to a 3 light. For dark areas you have a shadow right on top of your target.

I think that Milwaukee has out done themselves with this one
