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.

I own several of these ratchets. Liked it so much that I bought a spare 3/8″ and two 1/4″ as well. I have been using them for almost 5 years now. They are as handy as a pocket on a shirt. I find that I use mine on almost every job that would require a ratchet. You will not be disappointed at all.

First off I work in the automotive industry and all my techs have the older version of the impact at work, they run it hard daily and swear by them. Needing a replacement for my 8 year old Snap On gun I decided to give it a try for home use and on our fleet of off road vehicles. It did not disappoint and took on any task I threw at it. From difficult bolts, long wood screws to delicate trim parts it performed flawlessly. The fluid driven stands up to what’s advertised and is much quieter than the previous version. Now on to the 3/8 Ratchet, be aware this is NOT part of the Fuel line and ok at best. I understand it was free with purchase and happy I did not pay for it. It’s simply a night and day difference in the performance between the two. Maybe I got a defective one, maybe not however I would not be able to recommend this to a mew technician starting a career in the automotive industry. 5 stars for the Impact Driver0 for the Ratchet in my opinion Hope this helps someone.

The M12 Fuel Surge driver is AMAZING! I have the M18 regular driver and the M12 Surge seems just as capable as the M18 except the M12 is waaay quiter, smaller, and smoother. I haven’t used the impact driver yet.

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.

I’ve been using this at work for a few weeks now and even the small batteries will last me most of a day driving 3″ in soft woods. Is it the most powerful tool on the planet, no but it gets the job done and my bags appreciate the smaller form factor and the lower weight. Its also gotten the attention of my coworkers for its quiet operation.
