The industry's first hydraulic 12V impact driver runs up to 2X quieter than standard impacts with less vibration. Real owners consistently reach for it over their M18 tools — it's that capable.
This is the one to get. The hydraulic powertrain is a genuine innovation — quieter, smoother, and still plenty of torque for 95% of tasks. The community has voted with their wallets repeatedly, and the deal scores back it up.
“I also have a M18 fuel hammer drill and M18 Surge driver.. Truth be told, I reach for the M12 far more often.. All around great tools. Lightweight, good battery life especially with the 4.0ah/5.0ah, and solid power.”

“Amazing practical deal. I use the M12 surge all the time over an m18 impact. It's so small, handy, quiet, and provides all the torque you need around the house. Plus the 3/8 ratchet is pretty useful too if you ever turn wrenches.”

“These are two of my most used tools. I wouldn't hesitate to pick these up if you do stuff around the house or on your cars.”

“It's considered superior by a lot of folks because it's the smallest/lightest. If you're in a big shop the higher speed of the more expensive models may make a difference, but the torque is mostly irrelevant.”

“If you find yourself wanting an impact, get the surge rather than the one included here. Similar performance, but much quieter and less vibration.”
