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.

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 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.

Best multi tool ever used. I’ve used corded tools and the ryboi cordless mulit tool. This one rocks. Compact and great power!

Excellent power in a compact size and quiet!

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

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.

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.

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’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.

The Milwaukee multi-tool was excellent. Very powerful, I think it is as powerful as my corded multi-tool. Very convenient and have already used it to trim aluminum storm door.

What a terrific tool and Milwaukee is always too notch.

A great driver. Compact size and plenty of power. The multi tool is an added bonus. I trust in Milwaukee m12 and m18 for years now.

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.
