The Milwaukee M12 FUEL SURGE 1/4 in. Hex Hydraulic Driver is the industry’s first 12-Volt hydraulic impact driver. Featuring the FLUID-DRIVE Hydraulic Powertrain, the hydraulic impact will allow users to experience operation up to 2X quieter with less vibration for smoother and faster driving speeds compared to standard impacts. The compact size of the tool and battery provides users with unmatched access in tight spaces and allows for easy transport on a tool belt and easy fitting into a job site tool bag. Performance is not sacrificed despite lower peak torque due to its Longer Sustained Torque that allows the tool to complete core users most common applications. The POWERSTATE Brushless Motor delivers up to 0 RPM to 3,000 RPM with constant power output to drive screws faster. Built-in REDLINK PLUS Intelligence is the most advanced electronic system on the market, preventing damage to the user’s tool and battery caused by overloading or overheating. The cordless impact driver is compatible with all Milwaukee M12 REDLITHIUM Compact Batteries or Extended Capacity Batteries, delivering users with more work per charge and more work over the life of the pack than competitive batteries. The Milwaukee M12 Rover Mounting Flood Light allows users to take light anywhere and hang it everywhere. This flood light provides up to 1,000 Lumens of TRUEVIEW High Definition Output and can light up a large workspace for extended periods.

I’ve had M18 cordless drills for decades. The 12 volt surge is small powerhouse. I’ve drilled 1/4 holes in 2×4’s, driven 4 inch long wood screws, installed ceiling fan screws, drilled though drywall for anchor points etc. This tool makes me smile everytime I use it. I wouldnt use it to put a deck together but it’s perfect for small projects around the house and offers more clearance than a standard size cordless drill. I bought the Milwaukee 1/4″ driver and drill assortment kit and it’s perfect. Milwaukee did a great job on the surge! I never owned the older model impact driver so I cant speak to the difference in noise levels but I can say that this tool is not loud indoors or out.

The surge is a quiet compact impact. If I had to complain it would be to improve the led light to a 3 light. For dark areas you have a shadow right on top of your target.

I have been a Milwaukee M12/M18 Fuel user for a few years now. I was installing some Sail Shades, and driving 1-1/2″ #10 screws into wood. The M18 Fuel Impact I was using was LOUD, since I was right at the roof line, and the echo was pretty deafening. After considering both the M12 and M18 Surge, I decided on the M12, since it’s slightly smaller, and both have the same 450 IN-LB of torque.I have used the new M12 Surge Impact for a lot of projects since: 1) two ceiling fans, 2) recovering some porch chairs (removing the seat from the frame), 3) removing cabinet doors to install a new bathroom faucet, 4) install curtain rods, 5) install a shower grab rail.The most impressive feature to me are the very low torque on setting #1, it is way more controllable than my old M12 Fuel impact.Other Milwaukee Tools I own and love: M18 5-inch grinder, M18 6-1/2 saw, M12 Fuel Hackall, M12 Jigsaw.

Compact and well built. Love the quiet impact feature. I would highly recommend this tool. Battery life seems to be really long for the little time I have had it.

Would definitely recommend this tool. Quieter than other impact drivers and having multi level power settings is a game changer.

I have had this light for over a year now and it works flawlessly. It lights up my work area and has withstood several drops that were hard enough to jar the battery out of the light. It is still working as expected.

Great

Solid tool. Very quiet and feels “soft” with the pulse. Not as powerful and torquey as the traditional hammers but definitely gets the job done. I recently ran a few 4” #10 screws into laminated beams and it was fine with the small M12 battery. I was in an enclosed space and appreciated the noise reduction.
