Keep in mind that there are three versions of the M12 1/4" hex screwdriver:
2401 - this deal, least amount of torque (175 in-lbs) and speed (500 RPM) using a brushed motor. Biggest complaint was that it is too slow and not very powerful. This is the heaviest of all models @ 2.65lbs.
2402 - brushless motor (FUEL) lots of torque (375 in-lbs) and speed (2 settings; 0-400 and 0-1,700 RPM). Also includes a drill and driver mode (similar to what is seen in their M12 drill). Because it uses a brushless motor it is lighter (2.0lbs) and also allows batteries to last longer when using it. People complained that this model was too powerful.
2406 - brushed motor yet the lightest of all (1.8lbs). Good amount of torque (275 in-lbs) and speed (2 settings; 0-400 and 0-1,500 RPM). Considered the "goldilocks" of all the M12 screwdrivers. Latest model released and rarely goes on sale.
Milwaukee M12 screwdrivers are a hybrid mash-up of their M12 drill (as it includes the torque clutch settings) and their impact driver (as it includes the 1/4" hex chuck). They allow for easy, one handed bit insertion or removal and are a good tool for all around DIY work or delicate woodworking/furniture assembly due to their enhanced torque and speed control. Many consider the M12 screwdriver their "go-to" driver vs the standard M12 drill/impact drivers that are available.
There is also the M12 "Installation 4-1 " drill/driver which comes with several different drill heads (1/4" hex, 3/8 chuck, inline and offset heads). That tool works well when installing cabinetry due to the many different interchangable heads. It has a brushless motor with great torque (300 in-lbs) and speed control (2 speeds 0-400 and 0-1,600 RPM). This tool was recently released (2021) but is not very compact due to his D shaped design vs. the typical pistol design of most drills.
It should be mentioned that Amazon is not an authorized Milwaukee dealer so you will not get an automatic 5 year warranty with this tool if purchasing it from this vendor. Milwaukee online authorized dealers are listed here: https://www.milwaukeetool.com/Buy-Now
When purchasing tools from non-authorized dealers Milwaukee defaults to the manufacturing date. It will provide you a 3 year warranty from the manufacturing date stamped on the tool regardless of the date that you purchased the tool. Since this tool was first released in 2012/2013 you may very well receive a tool with a manufacturing date more than three years ago which will mean this tool will not come with a warranty at all. So, as they say... "caveat emptor."
Long story short, no warranty will be associated with this tool.

Please also be aware that Milwaukee changed the quick release chuck design on this and has not been very forthcoming with this in the marketing info. Check the reviews and you'll notice people hate the new design as it does not lock in the open position when removing the bits and requires two hands to activate usually.
The last two black Friday deals at Home Depot included this screwdriver, battery, charger, plus the rachet for $99. Maybe it will happen again, if you can wait.

This could be a really good deal... from the product description..

Grabbed one of these recently with the old version of the auto ratchet. Didn't realize how handy it would be to have a full power drill and one of these for projects so you don't have to swap bits as often

Interesting to know that there are so many versions of this driver!
I just checked and found out that I have the 2401 version. Even if it's the worst one technically, I'm extremely happy with it. Having a dedicated driver separate from a drill is a huge Time saver, and I love the clutch on it, as well as the fact that you can manually start or finish installing screws just by twisting the whole drill, which you can't do with the impact driver
I bought this, the 2401 model, black friday deal and had no expectations.
I use mine to pull apart bigger electronics, amplifiers, power tools and project boxes. Self tapped screws or holding on plates stuff like that. Ive put together cheap flatpack furniture with it and it works well.
Basically anything that is on the cusp of being too tight to dissemble with a weak 8v screwdriver, or your drill driver clutch on its low settings feel like will damage it. Its a good in between size and power.
