Community Reviews

Milwaukee's M12 FUEL drill and impact driver kit stands out as a compact, capable 12-volt setup for household work, especially when size and ease of use matter more than raw power. The Fuel tools are described as strong enough for door hardware, screws, mounting, light drilling, and even most driving tasks, while the impact driver and Surge model get praise for smooth, quiet control. The included batteries are the main drawback, since the 3.0Ah packs are seen as weak for the platform and the flat base can make the tools easier to knock over. It is a better fit when you want a small everyday kit than when you need all-day battery capacity or heavier cutting tools.

  • Homeowners tackling light drilling and screwdriving, because the compact 12V tools are easier to use for door hardware, mounting, and furniture assembly.

  • DIYers who want a small drill and impact set for everyday household jobs, because the Fuel line feels capable without the bulk of higher-voltage tools.

  • Buyers who mainly want extra batteries, because the included tools still work fine and the battery pack value carries the bundle.

  • Shoppers who need a larger platform for saws or other high-draw tools, because 12V is better for around-the-house work than cutting and routing tasks.

  • Tradespeople running tools all day, because the included 3Ah batteries have limited capacity compared with larger packs.

  • Concrete drilling projects, because the listing is ambiguous about whether the drill is a true hammer drill or just a regular drill.

Thanks, I ended up ordering it through Exchange Storefront for $179. Hoping I can get $80 for the batteries second hand and have a really nice set for $100
Is this not hackable through HD?

The photos show 3x XC4.0AH batteries. I don't see where it says anything about 3AH.
edit: nvm I see now..
Yeah.. I was a little confused too & almost made a post just like this since the description states XC 4.0, but it seems the 2 extra batteries are indeed 3.0s.

Has anyone opened one of these packs? Wondering if they use 18650 cells. If so, you could take these 3AH packs and swap the cells for some nice ones and make 6AH packs for really cheap.

Right, I saw the extended rachet post and that one shows the two batteries as XC3.0 so I'm assuming these are as well.

This is hackable. You can get the set for 146.
If you wanted the extra batteries then the posted one is 30 cheaper.

Also the hackable one comes with free bits.

Home Depot doesn't do a great job on these kits. It's kind of confusing, the title says "hammer drill" but the description says it's a regular drill.

I need a hammer drill for concrete, does this contain a hammer drill or regular drill?

Any thoughts on switching from Dewalt 20v to m12 platform?

I'm just a homeowner/diy-er I feel like most of my projects don't require a ton of power. I really like the m12 for its size
I've got Dewalt 20V for bigger jobs. Suspension work, drilling masonry or concrete, etc. M12 is good for most stuff and is easier to use due to size.

Heck, Skil 12V is really cheap and overall pretty good if you don't need the power. Brushless tools probably less than half the Milwaukee 12v. Lowe's has a good deal right now with many tools at $30-$40. I started buying a few because I saw the $29 inflator deals and wanted one to leave in another car after I already had the much more expensive M12. Their 12v light for $20 is great, and I got a 2 battery+tool deal for $80 The tool I selected was an impact driver that seems OK. New style batteries are USBC chargeable and also function as a battery pack to charge things FROM as well.

Good deal but I would only need the impact driver. As far as the M12 line, the Surge is a game changer. So smooth, controllable and quiet. Enough power for most of what I need to drive.

Funny, I want this for the drill only.

Just for the batteries, this is a good deal. The tools are good, I have them and work fine.

Why switch when you can use them all? I use both M12 and M18 from Milwaukee, 20v from Dewalt, 18v from Ridgid and 18v from Ryobi. I usually just get whatever is on sale. Depending on the tool, they all have their purpose. I enjoy using the M12 stuff to get into smaller spaces. Their stubby impacts are no joke either.

I can see this if you want to have chargers all the place but most people don't want a garage full of tools (I am not one of those people, I have too much stuff).
We need the EU to regulate this stuff like they did with cell phone chargers. A single 12v and 18v standard would reduce waste, get us all better batteries via 3rd party, and greatly improve competition. As it sits, keeping these incompatible tool bases is stifling real R and D and creates unnecessary "fanboy" loyalty as we are stick to a brand.
