Milwaukee Electric - M18 Fuel. 1/2 Hammer Drill/Driver

I picked up this Milwaukee M18 FUEL hammer drill recently for some heavy-duty projects around the garage and house — and man, it’s been a game-changer. Last weekend I was drilling into concrete to mount a heavy shelf near the pool area. I grabbed the hammer drill, slipped on the masonry bit, and the drill powered through like butter. The impact was strong, the bit held steady, and even after 20 solid minutes of drilling the motor didn’t bog down or overheat. What impressed me most was how smooth and controlled the tool felt. Even though I was drilling deep holes into concrete, there was minimal kickback, and the handle grip stayed comfortable — which helped a lot on longer jobs. Once done, the shelf was anchored solid; no wobble, no cracking, and I knew the job would last. Another moment: hanging a heavy outdoor light on a masonry wall. Drill + proper fixture = straightforward job, no extra helpers needed. The power and portability of the M18 FUEL meant I didn’t need a corded drill or bulky compressor — just one battery, and I was good. If you do serious DIY, remodeling, masonry, or heavy-duty mounting jobs: this hammer drill/driver is worth every penny. Solid, powerful, reliable — it feels like a pro-grade tool even for home use.

Awesome tool. One of the best drills I've used. Sturdy but not heavy. You can just tell the difference when using this compared to others. Have to get the High Output M18 battery for this but it's worth it. Always does the job. Thanks.

Great Hammer Drill. Much lower db than my other drills. Makes quick work out of drilling concrete and block walls.

Brand new. Straight from the factory box. All lubed up and everything. Very good price vs big box stores.

As a master electrician we use our tools hard and use them daily. This tool holds up well to cutting 6 inch holes with hole saws as well as larger auger bits. We don’t use it often for drilling with the hammer function but works in a pinch.

Industrial strength quality drill. I gave as a gift and my father was pleased.

Love it for the price it’s nice ; already had batteries soooo….

I bought this item specificly for using an ice auger for fishing. I charged the batteries and drove about 50 miles to the lake. Hooked up the ice auger to the drill and started drilling and it was like it spun for a few seconds and stopped. I thought it was a battery issue ( I also bought a Mailwaukie Pole saw and it runs like a champ). I sent the batteries back with an additional $20 out of pocket. New batteries charged. Try ice fishing again here in 2026.....Same issue. Depress the trigger and it spins a few seconds and cuts out. I get home and leave it sit out over night and depress the trigger and it runs fine. I have not used this drill for anything else other than the ice auger. It's like brand new. When I get it to run here at the house, it seems to run fine. The setting is on drill and power on 1.
