The only impact driver that won't destroy your hearing — hydraulic mechanism is significantly quieter than traditional impacts while still delivering serious torque for all-day driving.
If you're driving screws indoors, in occupied spaces, or just care about your long-term hearing, the SURGE is the pick nobody regrets. The Gen 2 adds more power over the original while keeping the noise advantage that makes this driver unique.
“I have the surge and I love it. If you don't already have a fuel impact then you won't be missing the power, but your ears and anyone around you will love you.”

“Milwaukee just came out with their Gen 2 M18 Surge (2761), much more power than the Gen 1. If you're running it all day long, or in enclosed spaces, this will make all the difference to your ears.”

“For me the best part about the Gen I is you can modulate the trigger and just have it impact two or three times if you want to get a screw just a touch tighter than you could with a drill/driver.”
