The go-to drill for professionals who need serious power in a compact package. Dominates in torque, hammer drilling, and runtime — it's the drill serious tradespeople actually buy.
If you're doing real work — framing, concrete, metalwork — this is the drill. Milwaukee's M18 FUEL platform is what pros reach for, and the hammer drill variant handles everything from wood to masonry without breaking a sweat.
“As a contractor and tradesman over the last 40 years I started with the Makita 9.6 volt stuff then moved to DeWalt and finally ended up with Milwaukee about 15 years ago with their V18 series. I currently own about 50 Milwaukee M18 and M12 tools and couldn't be happier.”
