Milwaukee Announces the "NEXT BREAKTHROUGH" In Their M18 FUEL Line. Expands Drilling and Fastening Arsenal with New M18 Brushless and Upgraded Compact Brushless Drills/Drivers

Official Milwaukee Tool Press Release

As you know, in May, we announced the “Next Breakthrough in M18™ FUEL” with the next generation of our best-selling M18 FUEL™ Hammer Drill, Drill/Driver, and Impact Driver. What makes these new drilling and fastening solutions truly ground-breaking is the completely redesigned motor and mechanical and electrical components within them – essentially throwing out the old “play book” for drill and impact design and writing our own (More info found here).



At Milwaukee we’re continuing to develop new cordless technologies and capabilities to drive the performance of our drilling and fastening solutions further than ever before – which is why I’m happy to share that we’re also upgrading our M18™ Compact Brushless Drill/Driver and Impact Driver and introducing a brand-new line of M18™ Brushless Drills and Impacts!

These new lines of Drill Drivers and Impact Drivers are a testament to our dedication in this category and our drive to deliver best-in-class products that meet every user’s need – from light service work to high demand applications.
