Nothing beats the M12 Fuel Impact Driver. It's the go to tool, so versatile, capable and usable.
I never thought I'd love the M12 stuff as much as I do. They're so convenient for small jobs especially at home for me. The M12 fuel impact driver is a beautiful thing!
Or professional use where space is at a premium.
He speaks really well and at a rate my brain can keep up with. Thank you.
Like a newscaster lol
I'm sorry you sound like a fucking moron. 🤣
I run it at 2x speed in the settings, but if you have trouble with other videos you can run it at 0.75x or half speed
The m12 lineup is fantastic. Especially the 1/4 “ fuel impact driver. I rarely use my m18 anymore.. love how lightweight and compact it is all while producing plenty of torque and rpms for residential electrical work.
i got the m12 fuel screwdriver and it's superior to the impact.
@TaRgEt0ZeRo depends what you're using it for. If you're drilling then yes. If you're driving then no the impact is better in every way
Enjoy the directness and efficiency in your getting information to us!
My first M12 purchase has been the Fuel Hackzall with a basic assortment of batteries (to augment any future M12 needs). A great lineup of tools to keep project work “light and tight” where needed, and will compliment my M18 needs nicely.
In the end, very affordable for filling in the needs/get the work done/punch list projects.
Professional powersports tech and I have used the 3/8 ratchet everyday for over four years and love it. With the extended life batteries I only have to change them about once a week usually and it lets the ratchet stand up. Definitely a good investment for any of the m12 stuff.
The m12 impact has been one of my fav tools I've had for 8 years. Still going strong!
That’s awesome. Just got mine today for my new job. I’m excited to use it Monday
Love my m12 cordless screwdriver. I used it all the time for plumbing rough in’s so much more compact and able to fit it tight areas for putting up hangers for the piping.
Have an m12 hackzall and it makes cutting ABS also a faster during rough in. A good collection utilizes both m12 and m18 depending on the practicality of your situation.
The M12 3/8" ratchet is my favorite :-)
Yeah that ratchet is incredible...I use it everyday and couldn't be more happy with it!
I use that ever day
Its my best friend!
My favorite M12 tools are the 1/4 square drive fuel impact wrench and the M!2 1/4 & 3/8 drive ratchets. They make automotive upper engine & trim work much easier with dragging an air hose around.
3/8 ratchet is my number one. The reason I started with the m12 lineup.
You should do an updated version. The installation driver should be on every M12 top list
As a mechanic, the M12 Sticklight is my favorite, closely followed by the Fuel 3/8 impact.
DarkFox6211818
I agree on the sticklight, I wish it had a magnetic back and more than just the 2 detents.
The M12 version does have a magnet available separately, and doesn't have any detents.
Just got the m12 fuel hammer drill/driver and impact driver with a free 3/8” m12 ratchet in a combo kit from HD. That impact driver is the best tool I’ve ever owned. I’m so impressed with the work it does in such a small package!
The m12 and m18 lineup are brilliant! The impact guns 1/2 inch and 3/8 both amazing gear! The m12 true light is brilliant too! Ohh and the heated hoodie For the cold winter does the job! All with 3 year warranty!! Would not change from Milwaukee.
I have most of the M12 tools and would say my favorite is the M12 Fuel 1/4" drive Screwdriver. This is a versatile tool that with a set of hex backed drill bits allows the user to carry only one tool to that is light and very handy. This smaller footprint screwdriver has great ergonomics and 18 levels of torque. It drills and screws with finesse.
My second and third choice in M12 tools would be the Fuel 1/2" chuck drill driver and the impact driver. Both are great and used most often. I also agree the Fuel Hackzall is amazing and very powerful and useful. My last two tools would be the circular saw and the jigsaw. These are the tools I use the most.
Rod Brink I know you’re post is extremely old but just wanted to agree. I like the screwdriver only version a lot. I have the impact also but I find it’s overkill for a lot of situations and the regular driver is perfect!
You're a natural and amazing at your craft. Thank you!
The beauty of the M12 lineup is you can really tailor the tools to your trade/hobby. I primarily work with cabinetry and boxes, so my top 5 are:
1. Brushed 2- speed drill
2. Brushed 2-speed screw driver
3. 90 degree drill driver
4. Brushed jigsaw
5. Fuel brushless circular saw
Meanwhile, my electrical contractor uses the M12 system as well, but the main tools in his truck are:
1. Fuel Brushless Drill
2. Fuel Brushless Impact
3. Fuel Brushless Recip Saw
4. 90 degree impact
5. 90 degree drill/driver
The fuel series shocked me with how powerful their drills are. I install water heaters so I use mostly the impact drill and Milwaukee tube cutters, also they're PVC cutters. My tool napsap is pretty much all red inside its hard to figure out which handle to grab.
@@ryanminaker157 old, i know. Color code with colored tape!
@@aspenwagon04 Good idea jojo
3/8" Stubby is my favorite M12 tool!
1/2*
@Mr602 same power. Only difference is whether your going to use 3/8 sockets or 1/2 sockets.
as a mechanic i use the m12 fuel impact driver, 1/4 and 3/8 ratchets, as well as the stick light daily... the tools have completely changed how i go about my day and i am lost without them now. to throw in a couple extra tools that i use frequently and love i would have to say the bluetooth speaker, and the heated jackets. great vids. and i think i might be putting the sander higher on my list of tools to buy.
I just picked up an m12 drill/driver and I love it. super lightweight for ceiling fan and window blind installs 👍. its also compact, so much so that some might think it's an impact due to it's chuck size. great for tight spaces.
I purchased the M12 battery powered polisher/sander and absolutely love it. Small light and powerful with an awesome warranty. Was less money than the Snap-On equivalent with a better warranty. Since purchasing that Milwaukee tool I have since purchased quite a few from the M18 Fuel line-up. The half inch impact, the three eights impact, the drill, and the handheld led flashlight kit. Love all of my my tools and can't wait to put them all to work to make me some more money.
i started my lineup with the m12 crown stapler and pin nailer. Love them both and very handy... my next purchase will be the stubby impact wrench and the impact driver.
Best impact drill for almost all applications. The only time it has struggled was trying to screw down huge 8" lag bolts.
The M12 Jig saw is my favorite.
man I miss his videos. wish he was still making them
Wishes do come true.....stay tuned.... 😉
2:32 make sure you buy Milwaukee 48-59-1201 if you want this power supply !
it is the newer version and it will also allow you to charge the m12 battery by plugging it into a usb outlet.
the older version will not charge the m12 battery, only works as a power source for other items
I own Milwaukee corded n cordless too for over 40yrs, love there balance and especially the durability, I always check out there new tools..
Hands down, the best m12 is the fuel impact. Light, compact, and powerful.
I like the circular saw and the phone charger, then the hacksaw .. just started in the M18 fuel series, the 3/8 impact and the 1/4 impact driver. Really awesome tools.
My top M12 pick would have to be the Cordless 3/8” Right Angle Drill 2415-20. I got it free with another tool and thought I'd never use it, I was very wrong. It's the most delicate and versatile drill I've ever had.
TheroiesofBlaze I love mine too. It also lets you drive screws in places a full sized screw gun won’t fit.
As a forklift technician. I own tons of M18 and M12 tools. My M12 ratchet and LED light are the tools that get used daily.
I have a variety of M12 tools. I love them all. Recently bought the M12 Fuel stubby impact 3/8 and 1/2 inch. Can’t wait to use them.
I got the 3/8 stubby and I use it hell lots it's amazing way more then my M18 1/2 inch gun now
Two of my favorites are the M 12, 3 inch cut off tool and the the 1/4" right angle die grinder. These tools have lots of power and can handle the tough jobs!
The two I use the most... the mini blower and 3/8 ratchet. Love those tools.
My first M12 was the palm nailer. Love it. Using it to nail joist hangers for my deck.
Great review! Precise, to the point, no bullshit. Good narration too. I'm just getting into the M12 line - I have 11 M18 tools so far. Love the Milwaukee product line. Thanks
Thanks! 👍
I like all of your picks w/the exception of the buffer. Thank you
Funny …..I actually have used that buffer more than any other m12 tool. I like it.
I didn't know the polisher existed. Might be my next tool purchase. Awesome review.
I knew about it but didn't realize that I could use rolox discs with it! Awesome info! This is on my new short list of automotive tools to purchase, thanks for the excellent reviews as always!
Same boat here. had no idea it was out there. definitely going to get one now. awesome video
I really enjoyed this video and I totally agree with using a smaller circular saw because it's lighter and faster. Thanks for sharing!
the m12 ratchet are such a joy to use i have both the 3/8 and 1/4,i have the 3/8 for the past 2 years using and abusing it everyday at the shop still working like new,i bought the 1/4 last summer
My friend likes the M12 drill/driver/hammer drill. I like my M12 Rotary Tool and M12 Jigsaw.
M12 impact driver, 1/2 stubby impact and the 1/4in ratchet are my daily use tools
I have the 1/4 ratchet. It's a beast. Need me a lil stubby!
M12 surge is my go to for driving.
So quiet (relative to my M18 impact) with great control.
I like the M12 1/4in ratchet for under hood work with small fasteners.
I've got 30 M12 tools. Don't know how or when but I got them lol. Great platform.
The M12 3/8 stubby impact, the ratchets and the die grinder are my favorite in the m12 lineup
Agree with all 3
M12 port ban is awesome!! Love the ratchet too! The hackzall falls short for me but is nice in a tight space
I have it. I've cut everything with it. Don't expect it to do the job of a big sawsall though.
Thanks so much for this video! I recently bought the new 3.0 and 6.0 M12 batteries; they are incredible. That hopefully means that the M12 line will be around for a long time!
What??????😱😱😱 M12 6ah batteries? Where can I find em? I must have it!!!!!😁😁😁
I ordered them online at Home Depot. The 3.0 was $59 and the 6.0 was $89. I heard the 1.5 and 3.0XC are being phased out.
Thanks, on it!!!!!
he sounds like a young Reverend Lovejoy from the Simpsons
I was thinking the exact same thing .
Lmao
No can't unhear.
I don't want to make fun of the guy... but where's he from that he says "SAWL" instead of saw? Is that a thing somewhere?
As a pool and spa tech. the hackzall is a "cut and fit" dream. As often times, a 110 volt outlet is far away or indoors. And a big, heavy Sawzall is a maneuvering nightmare, at times.
I like the impacts, the vacuum, the power supply ,and the radio as I use them the most. Really want to try the bandsaw and the nailer
For doing assembly work the M12s are my go to tools.
M12 Fuel Stubby Impact. It can take off every bolt on my cars except the Axle Nut. It's a great tool that I use at home and when i go yarding.
thanks a lot I definitely enjoy your videos. I'm a Telco lineman and appreciate your in depth video reviews!
I love the M12 fuel impact and M12 1/4" drive ratchet. I use both of them daily at the dealership I work for
The m12 gen 3 hammer drill and impact are 2 fantastic tools. I've been installing stone facade on the front of a house and garage. The hammer drill was able to push a holesaw through the stone for a porch light and drilled 24 holes for 2 sets of shutters. The impact is ballsy enough to hang the stone whether going into the wood on the house or the predrilled block on the garage (yeah the hammer drill went right through the block as well, but if I didn't have so many batteries it wouldn't have made it the whole day). I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Truly amazing tools that have excelled at everything I've thrown at them. Up next I think I'm gonna get the finish sander, multi tool and maybe the sds, so I don't have to beat the brakes off my hammer drill on big jobs like this stone one.
The M12 band saw (port-a-band) is awesome. I'm not a pro who uses it every day, but it has come in handy numerous times and is smoother, quieter, and more precise than a sawzall. Also, the M12 Fuel screw driver. I use it all the time.
I seriously love my M12 tools! they are excellent. I keep forgetting that the polisher is also a sander/die grinder. My little air compressor I've owned for 20 years never could keep up with my air die grinder so I have to get the milwaukee one. I use the business out of the 3 inch cutoff wheel M12 tool. that thing is amazing.
M12 Stapler is pretty amazing! Circular saw is my favorite, but the M12 stapler is a close second.
If you’re usually using 1/2” - 1-1/4” copper the m12 pro press is by far the best on the market. It’s like magic every time I bring it out.
Great video!. One of my favorites in the m12 lineup is the small radio. I used to have a Bosch, and that thing was like a brick to haul around. The M12 carries around very easily by using one of the hand grips on the side.
I really like the m12 electric ratchet. I've had it for awhile with 0 issues.
I really like the 3/8 Rachet. I’ve dropped it waste high and sometimes 6ft. It’s incredibly durable and for $99 dollars you can’t get a better deal
I'm a painter and Love my m12 caulk gun..
Quit painting everyones damn threads
I like the M12 ratchet, FUEL impact driver, copper cutter, hackzall, and the LED flashlight that has the magnet on it.
The m12 fuel impact driver. First off,95$ is an amazing price. The tool is small,compact, incredibly tough,I've taken 8 inch lag bolts and even truck lugnuts torqued at over 100 foot pounds. It's got 3 speed settings so you can do small house work,car interior work,and you can drive lag bolts in like butter. Ya can't go wrong no matter what trade you're in for this tool. Carpenter, mechanic,painter,this tool is good for anyone I can promise that.
Personally I don't see why you would want a 12v circular saw, unless your doing really fine precise work in tight spaces. But I completely agree with the rest of your picks. There are some really nice m12 tools out there!
Tool Tester I agree. I think the 18volt saws are much more practical.
For cutting 1x lath on a roof. light weight and cordless are key.
I'm a huge fan of the M12/M18 shop vac. Nice when I go to a job not to haul out my big shop vac. I had the dustbuster one first. Sadly, but not sadly it was stolen. Was not a fan. So I bought the larger vac. Love it. Also the medium M12/M18 bluetooth speaker it wonderful. Fantastic sound quality.
Great comments here. Most seem to be from people who use these professionally. I have several M12 drills and drivers. As a homeowner, my brushed M12 drill/driver gets used the most by far. Small and will do 90% of home maintenance stuff. I pull out my Fuel hammer drill and 1/4" impact driver as needed. They all have a ton of use. Built ~2K square feet of deck and railing with my 1/4" impact. Boxes of 3" screws...no problem.
Not a big fan of the M12 Hackzall tools. Just too slow cutting for me. Like that they can be one handed. I just want more cutting out of them.
The m12 bandsaw should definitely be on this list
I gotta upgrade to the fuel. I have the m12 driver and impact. And it's still going strong today
As always, your reviews are nice and thorough. Great job!
Very clear video, on point, I just subscribed to your channel.
You've missed the m12 fuel impact
I have the m12-
1/4 & 3/8 ratchets, fuel impact driver, PVC shear, hackzall & vacuum. Love them all!
BrenticusMaximus1 I tell everyone at work it's the best drill in the world. ever haha. I'd much prefer that hanging off my side over my 20v dewalt. As an electrician it's heavily used.
BrenticusMaximus1 The m12 first gen fuel impact driver is the best Power tool I have ever brought. I prefer it over my brushless 18v milawaurkee and my makita 18v impact. It is just as powerful.
Adam Chalkley
For how long. I bet it you could strain it.
And sadly, Milwaukee doesn't appear to sell the M12 1/2" drive impact tool in the U.S.. Perhaps they're just pushing the 18V one to get owners of the 12V line to buy a whole additional line of things. The m12 1/2" drive impact tool IS available in England and Australia, however.
the m12 mini band saw is my favorite
GOOD JOB IN THIS VIDEO! I just bought the 2401 m12 screwdriver for electrical purposes, small projects around the house. I am interested in the lantern. Do you think its worth it?
I got my M12 fuel impact driver and drill/driver. I’m going to later expand my m12 collection with a fuel 3/8th stubby, fuel multi tool, and lantern. Then grow my M12 collection with a few more tools and eventually get some M18 tools.
The drill and impact are invaluable shop tools at one of my jobs, great for light duty around the building as maintenance staff.
Own both m12 m18. Mainly use m12 they can easily handle most jobs. But have m18 for the tough stuff.
Have spent over $25,000. On milwaukee tools happy with every one of them. Have a big list of more I plan to get.
Just bought the M12 3/8 drive impact
Also have M12 drill
And quarter inch hex Drive really like them all
The M12 Fuel impact is great, I use it so much.
Great video. Thanks for the information. Not mentioned, but the LED stick light is great. Also, love my M12 heated vest. It's fantastic for hunting and ice fishing or any outdoor activity in the cold.
The 3/8 Fuel Impact wrench is my favorite.. Will drive 3" screws into oak timbers and snap a 1/4" bolt like nothing.
Can't beat the M12 grease gun !
Blows Lincoln out of the water
M12 3/8 stubby impact is my favourite use it every day
M12 fuel 1/4 impact driver is my favorite tool hands down
That circular saw is great.. as long as you are not cutting anything thicker than 1” otherwise the thing dies super fast.
The sawzall works okay and is great for my applications as a plumber under sinks, but anything stronger than wood or PVC this thing struggles with.
The pistol grip die grinder is my absolute favorite. The thing is a beast and lasts forever on a 6ah
The M12 wire cutter is great, especially with the extra capacity battery. It will cut 500 kcmill cable multiple times before needing to be recharged.
I got me the m18 mid torque gen 2 and m12 stubby for the hard places to get into. Both in 3/8, that's all you'll need really for a DIY guy.
Man comes out with the original brushed m12 drill lol. I have that
The best m12 light is the tripod light. For only 169.99 cdn on sale it's the best choice. All the other lights are pretty expensive in comparison. It will light up the whole room with its swivel head and you can also plug it in with an extension cord if you have power. It also stays clean and out of your way, so you don't have to keep moving it. I have a few of their lights but the tripod is just a way better option, when ever I bring it out on a jobsite everybody else just loves the amount of light it gives out. Lights up whole rooms with ease.
What a heated jacket, dang they did improve a lot for workers. THats really cool!
My buddy just bought the M18 Fuel Hackzall, and my M12 fuel Hackzall does not cut anywhere near as fast! Tried it with fresh 4.0 batteries and we used the same brand new blades and even swapped saws between us both. The M18 kicks the m12's butt in this tool. Problem is, the M18 is HUUUUGGGEEEE!!!!!! So I guess that would be a major deciding factor. Personally I kind of miss my old brushed Hackzall, it was smaller and lighter than the M12 fuel, and in a comparison we did between those two saws, we found that the fuel was only a split second faster. The two things I like about my fuel M12 Hackzall are one: It doesn't bog down when you apply pressure to your cut like the brushed saw did, (at least not much) and second: The battery life is better than the brushed model. I wish I owned them all to be honest though. I love Milwaukee tools, especially the M12 line. Just bought the M12 crown stapler, and its actually pretty nice.
I've been a cabinet builder & installer for 10 years, and there is nothing in that process I've not come once upon something I couldn't do with the M12 set. Nor that I'd didn't clearly prefer the smaller drills for.The closest I've come to being underpowered is hole saw cutting 3-4"+ holes, and I'm driving the occasional 6" lag bolt no problem. and with the new m12 Fuel drill is basically the m18 drill with a 12v battery moulded to it. At least in the realm of drills, the m12 is more then enough
my number one m12 tool is the fuel 1/4 hex impact , I use it every day . the only time I even pull out the m18 fuel is for three inch screws
Scott Trotman you don’t need a 18v just get 6.0A battery /w fuel impact
For your next video topic how about, “why more voltage doesn’t mean more power”?
unless the current is limited for some reason, more voltage does mean more power
M12 bandsaw is by far my favorite
Where did you go?
