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.
- FLUID-DRIVE hydraulic powertrain reduces metal on metal contact within the tool, delivering quieter operation, smoother performance and increased durability over a standard impact
- Longer sustained torque delivers similar drive times in application as most 12-Volt impact drivers
- Up to 2X quieter operation makes this tool ideal for occupied spaces
- Compact head length and compact battery footprint gives more access than competitive impact drivers
- POWERSTATE brushless motor delivers maximum power and long motor life
- REDLINK PLUS intelligence prevents damage to the tool and battery due to overloading or overheating
- REDLITHIUM batteries deliver more work per charge and more work over the life of the battery
- Includes: 2551-20 (tool-only), belt clip

I’ve owned the M-12 Fuel impact driver and drill for years now and been happy.I decided to upgrade to the new M-12 Surge impact and I’m very happy. More power, extra setting and quieter! Even the people who use other brands have made great comments about it! I build sets and scenery in Tv/Feature industry and use it every day. It’s physically smaller than the Fuel, but slightly heavier. That’s ok though, as the performance makes up for it!It fits very well in my right side Occidental tool bag and I don’t need a special holder! Milwaukee definitely hit a home run!

the surge action is so smooth and much quieter then a regular impact driver

I made the mistake a while back of buying 1 hydraulic impact drill. And my crew fought over it, so now we have many… Because who doesn’t want a quote impact drill that cuts through wood like warm butter…?

As impact drivers go this is my all time favorite. Amazing torque for a 12 volt tool. Very quiet. I will never go back. A bit heavier than the standard models but far superior.

I own 5 different impacts from Milwaukee and this is hands down the best one yet! It’s so much quieter than any other impact on the market.

I am a hobbyist woodworker and this drives screws well. It does not overtighten. Quiet and smooth in operation and quite light to hold. NICE tool!

I whanted this product for a long time, finally I got it and I love it.
Brain Auer (verified owner) –
Out of the box it drove well and made easy work of the backing we were installing.However and because it was close by I grabbed it to set some 5/8” pan heads through 3/16” angle aluminum and it almost popped the head on every one. Re-drilled the material and back off a little and was fine but initially it was a little too much.All in, I like the tool but have to be a little more careful.

I am a handyman. I have several Milwaukee M18 products. Many of my jobs don’t require all the power of the 18V line(or the noise). This tool will save my ears and joints on most of my jobs!Thank you Milwaukee!!!

This was a gift for my husband. He loved it, said it was very functional
April Langosh (verified owner) –
I use this drill everyday at work and I am very satisfied with its performance I also love that is has variable power settings

First I bought the 18v surge driver and I love both of them the 12v mainly because of its size and weight. But both are incredible since first, it’s nearly impossible to strip out the head of a fastener (unless there head is already deteriorated or your not using the correct bit for mating with fastener) and second it’s so quiet and very little vibration. These are the only option as far as I’m concerned. Dewalt made something kinda similar, but Milwaukee is easily better.
