“Milwaukee Tool revolutionised the professional power tool market when we first created the 12V sub-compact space with the introduction of the M12 system. We set the industry benchmark even higher when we launched our M12 FUEL drilling and driving solutions in 2013, and we have remained the leader in sub-compact system performance. Ever since, we’ve continued to remain on the forefront of incredible technology advancements that have ultimately reshaped users’ expectations of cordless power tool capabilities,” said Bela Berecz, Product Manager for Milwaukee Tool.
