Have it, love it, and that's a good price.

The surge impact is better for screws, lags, and stuff like that. You get less peak torque but it's more sustained which is what you want for driving. Works just fine with hex spade bits too. Less likely to snap fasteners or bits in my experience. Much much quieter ... but still not "quiet" in absolute terms.

This, and the non-surge version, compliment but don't replace a proper impact wrench when it comes to stuck bolts and break-away torque. Keep that in mind if you're fastening more than screws or small bolts.

Surge is definitely where it's at for most drilling and driving operations. I have several of the M18 and M12 Surges. Killer price if you're willing to deal with the return of the battery.

Is this the one that uses squirting vs pounding for more smooth operation?

what about if I'm starting out with Milwaukee, where's the better deal with the charger as well?

Would this tool be sufficient for drilling a laminate board of a standing desk to install a keyboard tray? I mostly need a tool for disassembling and assembling flatpack furniture, but I also occasionally need light drilling capabilities. I'm not that knowledgeable when it comes to tools.

You are gonna need an air hammer and 20 gal compressor.


Just kidding yes this is overkill for that but it can be used for that. You could also just buy the cheapest Hart drill at Walmart and that would work for that was well. Depends if you want to get into a big long term eco system like milwaukee...ie what tools you want to eventually own. Any milwaukee tool is going to be upper end price wise. But....this deal does not come with a charger and if you do the hack you don't get the battery either.

For your purposes you might consider the M12 version. Currently hackable for $96 including batteries x2 and a charger.

Ended up getting the m12 surge for just under $100 pre tax. Comes with 2 batteries and convenient soft case. We use these for metal framing as they don't drive as hard and strip screws. Reach for this over the 18v as it is so much lighter in the tool bag. Does 95% of what the big one will do until getting into heavy timber.

For most homeowners this will be a better version as well.
