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 and 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. In addition to the M12 FUEL SURGE 1/4 in. Hex Hydraulic Driver, this kit includes two M12 REDLITHIUM CP2.0 batteries and a contractor bag.
- 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

Great new addition , smaller and fit in bag better plenty of power to do most jobs.

Unbelievable quiet power for a 12 volt tool!

Best impact drill for electrical work hands down , with a little back round noise you cant even hear it impact

Wow…

If your interested in this size of tool just buy it with no regrets.

This tool will outdrive most 18V competitors. Has a little weight to it and needs to for the impact mechanism. Try using it to disassemble an engine and when 30+ impacts hit to loosen a bolt watch the reduction in broken bolts. Just set proper and use in right direction.

really quiet, smooth operation, doesnt over torque, has good sensing.

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.

Really nice smooth drilling. Quiet. Easy to control screws.

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.

All the power and quality I would expect from Milwaukee Tool. Surprised by how quietly it drives screws in, even in hard substrates. Wish I had one a few years back when I had a customer’s tenent that complained about the noise when driving screws for a remodel.

Fits well in the hand. Feels well built. Long work time. We’ll see how it holds up over time. Overall very satisfied.

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.

Nice tool

A lot quieter than my M18 driver. She is much happier now when helping me hang sheets. The surge technology also makes it much easier to seat the screws at the correct depth

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.
