Is the Milwaukee surge impact worth it?
Performance. Milwaukee is claiming the Surge has up to 50% reduced noise levels, 3 times less vibration, and drives faster than standard impact drivers. That’s easy enough to test—and we certainly did! When it comes to noise, there’s no doubt the Milwaukee M18 Fuel Surge is quieter than a standard impact driver.
How much torque does a 1/4 Milwaukee impact have?
The M18 FUEL 1/4″ Hex Impact Driver offers up to 55% faster application speed, and a range of 200 in-lbs to 1600 in-lbs of torque. Its compact size and weight allow access to tighter areas and reduce user fatigue.
Whats better 1/4 or 1/2 impact driver?
Impact drivers will make short work of lag bolts or lag screws, up to an extent. A driver with a 1/4 inch or 3/8 inch bit can be the better choice for smaller screws. A 1/2 inch impact driver or an impact wrench may actually deliver too much torque that the screws or bolts are quickly stripped, or worse, snapped.
What is the difference between Milwaukee and Milwaukee fuel?
At its most basic level, the difference between Milwaukee M18 and M18 Fuel tools is that most M18 products have a brushed motor and all M18 Fuel tools have a brushless one. We’ve written much more about brushed vs brushless motors.

Whats the difference between Milwaukee and Milwaukee fuel?
Is Milwaukee M18 and M18 fuel the same?
How much torque does a Milwaukee impact driver have?
Milwaukee impact drivers vary from 450 in.lbs. to 2,000 in.lbs., depending on the model. Milwaukee impact drivers maximize the torque effect by adding a hammer action. On hammer drills used for masonry, concrete, etc., this action is in line with the direction of drilling. On an impact driver, however, it’s rotary.
Is Milwaukee’s M12 impact driver the best 18V impact driver?
Milwaukee’s M12 impact driver is affordable, yet its performance compares favorably with many low-cost 18V rivals. Milwaukee claims that their M12 impact driver is both the fastest driving and most compact in its class. Its peak output of 1,300 in.lbs. from the Powerstate brushless motor combines with Milwaukee’s four-mode drive control.

What kind of bits do you use on an impact driver?
An impact driver has a ¼-inch hexagonal collet rather than a chuck, so it can’t use round-shank bits. Adapters are available; however, standard bits may be damaged by the extra torque, so it’s better to invest in a good set of hex impact driver bits.
