On picking up this tool for the first time, the weight for its nice compact size says this thing is pure quality! This Milwaukee has 4 easy to set speeds. It is a “SURGE” HYDRAULIC and this is the quietest impact drill I have ever used. In fact, it is so quiet and the impacting feels so light to the touch, at first, you’ll think it’s a weak driver. But wait! be very careful, because you’ll find yourself having to readjust your feel and your lack of hearing loud impacting when this beast drives a wood screw out of site! Rethink how you use to work with an impact because it really gets the job done in a hurry. Glad I bought it and it is superior to the old Milwaukee I used for years that finally wore out. Buy it, You’ll like it !

I am a loyal user of Makita products. Lately I have purchased a few Milwaukee products because they have some items that I can't easily get from Makita. Last year I temporarily lost my Makita impact driver and couldn't work without it. There was a good deal at the time for an 18 volt Milwaukee screw gun including battery, charger and case so I thought I'd give it a try. I didn't like it. It had way too much power for what I need. I like it a lot for mechanical work on cars etc. I install cabinetry and I don't need so much power. Then I found my lost Makita and life was good again. A year later my trusted Makita is showing signs of many years of hard use and needs to be replaced. One of my employees has a 12 volt Milwaukee that I was really impressed with. I have the battery system already so I purchased this used bare tool to give it a try. WOW! This is a very very good impact driver and much quieter than the typical impact driver. People can actually talk and hear when I'm working in close proximity. I am so impressed. It has very good control at slower speeds. It has four settings for power and speed which I keep it mostly in the #2 position. Installing small screws in hinges and drawers slides is so nice and controllable. I love it. Its small and gets into tighter areas than my Makita. I wonder why someone would sell it after using it. Their loss my gain. This is the "Surge" model which is hydraulic. This is what makes it so quiet and and controllable at lower speeds. And when you need the extra power for driving screws fast and deep it shines there as well. The only downside is that you I can't "feel" the screws tighten up as well. It just keeps going with not much in the way of sound pitch changing as the screw tightens up. I've over tightened a few times which strips out the wood. I've had to get used to this and learn how it reacts as it gets tight. Minor issue, and the only thing I can find fault with. Batteries last a long time with this tool. It costs a fair amount more than its very similar "non" surge model, but for the professional it is totally worth it. Read full review

The M12 Fuel hydraulic impact is a sweet little package. The same size as the non-hydraulic so it fits in small tool bags and can be available easily but it is quieter than the standard. The M12 system has wonderful battery capacity and power. Don't be afraid of going back to 12 Volts. This tool is easily as strong as my old Makita 14.4 volt impact but half the size and weight.

I’ve had both DeWalt and Bosch versions and they are probably my second most used tool behind cordless drills. The Milwaukee M12 hydraulic is hands down the best of those. It’s quieter, and the torque adjustment allows you to have much more finesse when doing delicate work. The M12 version is lighter and more compact while still offering lots of power to compete against my DeWalt 20v. I ran 20-30 screws and only used 1/2 of a 2.0 amp hr battery. I can only assume the 6.0’s will really kick butt. Although I like having the small battery in it while working in awkward positions up on scaffolding…

Used this all day making some furniture, I have to admit that this tool is absolutely fantastic, it has plenty of power and is very quiet. Just get it and stop wasting time. You will not regret it..
