Milwaukee 2551-20 M12 FUEL SURGE 1/4 Inch Hex Hydraulic Driver BARE TOOL
Nov 22, 2021
Best 1/4 hex driver so far.
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…
They are Milwaukee M18 5.0 batteries. Since they are the only one of their kind I guess they get 5 stars. More importantly the 5.0 is kinda the Goldilocks of the M18’s for life to weight for most tools. So they are an excellent choice to have quite a few to keep the party going all day and night. The price, shipping and such were top notch and yes they were genuine OEM Milwaukee batteries in their factory packaging.
I have a small yard and after years of using gas powered tools I made the switch to Milwaukee electric tools. So convenient not messing with gas and oil, just just grab and pull the trigger. Super convenient using m18 batteries shared with all my power tools.
