Overview
Not a drill with a keyed chuck, this Milwaukee M18 FUEL driver takes quarter-inch hex bits and delivers impact blows for fastening. It runs from a battery pack with variable speed control.
High torque in a short body drives long fasteners without twisting the wrist, and the speed trigger lets the trigger control the start. The listing includes only the driver, and a few entries, such as the speed count, are clearly wrong.
Who it's for
Deck screws, lag bolts and general fastening reward an impact driver with this torque. A buyer who mostly drills holes should choose a drill/driver with a chuck.
Pros and cons
- High torque rating
- Quarter-inch hex bit drive
- Fast fastener driving
- Battery and charger not included
- Some listing entries look wrong
- Not a drill
- Speed settings not explained
Performance notes
Impact blows add rotational force when the fastener resists, which drives long screws with less kickback than a steady drill. Torque output depends on the battery in use, and easing into the trigger helps start fasteners without stripping heads.
