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 to 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. Milwaukee M12 Cordless Right Angle Drill Driver is compact and lightweight for prolonged use.
- 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, 48-11-2420 two M12 12-Volt 2.0 Ah lithium-ion compact battery pack, 48-59-2401 M12 12-Volt lithium-ion battery charger, belt clip, contractor bag, M12 right angle drill (2415-20)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Awesome gift for a mechanic. He loves it and was surprised!

No match! Pure sickness

It is useful for getting into tight spaces between joists for example. It could be a bit more powerful, which is why I only gave it 4 stars.

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.

More powerful than you would think and low noise level for an impact.
