This Milwaukee M12 FUEL 1/4-inch hex impact driver kit is mainly attractive as a compact tool bundle, but the real value depends on how you compare it. The standard impact driver gets praise for the newer tri-LED light and stronger 1,500 in-lbs torque, while the SURGE version is quieter but only 450 in-lbs and has been linked to a lower effective price in other bundles. The main caveat is pricing, since similar hackable M12 kits with extra batteries or even a hammer drill combo have been cited for less. It is a better fit if you want the latest standard impact driver rather than chasing the cheapest battery math.

  • DIYers who plan to use return hacks, because the tool can be effectively priced far below the listed bundle when batteries are returned.

  • Shoppers comparing the standard and Surge versions, because the Surge is quieter while the standard version has brighter tri-LED lighting and much higher torque.

  • Tradespeople wanting a compact impact driver for everyday fastening, because the latest version has tri-LED lighting and strong torque.

  • Deal hunters expecting the listed bundle to be the best value, because larger M12 kits with extra batteries can cost about the same or less through hacks.

  • Buyers who want the quieter impact driver, because the standard version is louder than the Surge and the Surge is the noise-focused option.

  • Shoppers needing the strongest fastening power, because the Surge is rated at 450 in-lbs while the standard version is rated at 1500 in-lbs.

LATER EDIT: Get the Walmart one! It's the SURGE version, which appears to be better:

You do realize that you're judging this off of a 4 yr old review and 3 yr old reddit threads? There have been updates to the m12 fuel impact driver since then.
I recently went back and forth between purchasing the m12 fuel impact driver and the m12 fuel surge. I had never had either and had looked at these for the last couple years. A few years back the surge was much more competitive but from what I read recently the surge while still nice doesn't compare as well except on noise. I went with the impact driver and in using it for the first time yesterday have zero regrets even if the job wasn't that demanding.
While I haven't used the Surge, I can say that I appreciated the tri-led on the latest impact driver. The Surge lacks this.

Yes, I do. One should check model numbers before suggesting I'm saying something wrong; Milwaukee changes model numbers and names, and so one has to be very, very careful to note them when making comparisons.
And yes, of course, sometimes some will find the standard vs Surge in favor of standard; no worries there. Surge is nice for a few reasons laid out on the review.

Thank you for this. I have a sudden need (like today) for the stapler and a couple of 2.0 batteries. Perfect timing Smilie
