Quieter, Smoother, Faster: The Next Gen M18 FUEL™ SURGE™ ¼” Hex Hydraulic Impact Driver

MILWAUKEE® continues to drive productivity and safety on the job site, introducing the next generation M18 FUEL™* SURGE™ ¼” Hex Hydraulic Impact Driver. Designed for a broad range of residential, commercial, and maintenance trades, the new driver delivers a quieter, smoother, and more ergonomic user experience**.

Fully redesigned, this solution features increased speed and performance while maintaining industry leading sound and vibration reduction when compared to a standard impact driver**.

The new M18 FUEL™ SURGE™ ¼” Hex Hydraulic Impact Driver features a ground-up redesign of the FLUID-DRIVE™ Hydraulic Powertrain that delivers up to 50% quieter operation than standard impact drivers. The significant reduction in noise for a tool used daily by many professionals helps to limit long-term hearing risks for users. This quieter performance also makes the SURGE™ Hydraulic Driver an ideal solution for use in occupied spaces or noise-restricted locations, enabling professionals to work confidently with minimal disruption to surrounding areas.

Significant performance and durability gains in a more compact design*** to unlock the sound and vibration advantages of the M18 FUEL™ SURGE™ ¼” Hex Hydraulic Impact Driver.

Delivering a noticeably smoother driving experience, the M18 FUEL™ SURGE™ ¼” Hex Hydraulic Impact Driver reduces metal-on-metal contact within the tool, with up to 3x less vibration than standard impacts**. Impact driver users will experience less fatigue and strain in application while using the SURGE™ Impact Driver. This new impact driver features a compact size, measuring just 109 mm and 1.8 kg (M18 B5), making it easy to manoeuvre in confined spaces and more comfortable to use over extended periods.

The POWERSTATE™ Brushless Motor delivers up to 3x faster driving speeds than the first generation**** and 113 Nm of torque, expanding the range of applications. This capability, combined with an improved trigger design ensures users can find the right balance of speed and control needed on the job site. REDLINK PLUS™ Intelligence provides advanced thermal management and overload protection, allowing the tool to run cooler and more efficiently during extended use.

 

*M18 FUEL™ is engineered for the most demanding tradesmen in the world. Delivering unrivalled performance, all M18 FUEL™ products feature three MILWAUKEE®-exclusive innovations—The POWERSTATE™ Brushless Motor, REDLITHIUM™ Battery Pack and REDLINK PLUS™ Intelligence Hardware and Software—that deliver outstanding power, run time, and durability on the job site. Simply put, M18 FUEL™ tools are the most powerful 18V cordless tools in their class.
