Community Reviews

This M12 Fuel drill and impact driver combo is a compact, capable home DIY set that stands out for its smaller size, good ergonomics, and strong battery platform value. The newer generation is described as snappier with more power, and the tools are said to handle most jobs, especially quick tasks and tighter spaces. The main tradeoff is that 12 volt tools still lag larger 18 volt and 20 volt options on raw power, and the drill can feel slow on harder materials. A solid fit if compactness and interchangeability matter most.

Common Questions (4)

  • The M12 tools are smaller and lighter, which helps in tighter spaces and makes them easier to grab for quick tasks. One comparison cited the Milwaukee 3404 drill at 2.6 lbs with battery versus a Ridgid R8701 at 3.0 lbs with battery, with similar advantages noted for the impact driver.

  • It makes the most sense if you already use the M12 battery platform, since interchangeable batteries are the main value. If you are starting from scratch, the main reasons to pick it are the compact form factor and the FUEL line's stronger performance than basic 12V tools.

  • Yes. The receipt should show separate pricing for each item; if it does not, the hack was not done correctly. When the receipt is itemized, the deal has reportedly worked without issues.

  • Yes. The hammer function is optional, so it can be used like a standard drill when hammer mode is not engaged. That makes it suitable for everyday drilling while still adding masonry capability when needed.

I have both these tools from the previous gen, plus the chubby impact wrench. The only one I'd buy again is the chubby. I don't use the driver much, not least because it's quite heavy for what's basically a power screwdriver. Also the drill is pretty slow compared to wired options, so while it's fine for wood it's not so good for harder materials. I assume this is why these are cheap and the chubby is $250.
New gen (3) is snappier and has lot more power

Any reason to get this over the Ridgid subcompact brushless 18V set? The Ridgid drill is lighter (2.0 vs 2.6 lbs) and has more torque (500 vs 400 lb-ft). Same thing on the impact driver (1.72 vs 2 lbs, 1850 vs 1500 lb-ft). The M12 drill has the hammer function...other than that, any reason to consider Milwaukee's M12 fuel line over Ridgid's 18V subcompact line?

both are acceptable quality tools. just preference.

I would give edge towards Milwaukee for quality and edge to Ridgid for cost bc their tools can be had for super cheap on DTO website or HD Clearance.

As far as performance, either brand will likely get the job done.

Ridgid also has the lifetime warranty. I still grab my M12 impact more than any other tool and I own 80% of the 18v brands. The Makita 18v impact is a close 2nd.

56 TUs and 28 comments and this isn't FP? Is it the hack that keeps it off the front page?

Great deal! I have this same set. Keep both batteries, it's worth it. These can handle almost any job like my 20v dewalt drills. I like the ergonomics of the Milwaukee 12v tools and then the dewalt 20v drills. The grips are similar in shape.

It's even cheaper than the previous battery "hack" but I'll still pass. They're just too weak, and not even that much smaller than modern 20V. No surprise DeWalt dropped the 12V line, the 20V tools have gotten so compact there's barely any size or weight advantage anymore, especially with the new 1.7Ah PowerStack DeWalt batteries. I think 12V lines have every chance of going extinct in the near future with such technological development
20v is 18v + 2v marketing

Do you have a ridgid 18v subcompact? If so, what makes you reach for the M12 over it?
I'm just trying to see what makes a person pick the heavier, less powerful, more expensive M12 with a worse warranty over the ridgid subcompact. If a person is already in the M12 ecosystem, makes perfect sense to get the M12 drill/driver. But if a person doesn't have any M12 or ridgid products already, is there any reason to go with the M12? I need to buy a drill, so I'm wondering if I'm missing something.
