MILWAUKEE M12 LINE ... PUNCHING ABOVE ITS WEIGHT CLASS!
MILWAUKEE M12 LINE ... PUNCHING ABOVE ITS WEIGHT CLASS!
Are you hesitant to try Milwaukee’s 12-volt line? Is the reason being that you do not think it has enough power to get the job done? Last Halloween I helped assemble a pallet maze, bounding them with an endless amount of 2 1/2” torx screws within a time span of 4 hours using only a 12-volt driver. After a successful build, I was impressed with the product at hand. I looked at the fuel gauge and it still had enough battery power for a second round. WOW!
Ever since that day and my experience with this M12 driver, Milwaukee’s M12 platform made a believer out of me. This 12-volt system packs a serious punch for its light weight and compact size. It made me ask myself, do I really need to carry around an 18-volt? Let us take a close look at Milwaukee’s 12-volt line (more commonly known as M12) and talk about its benefits in the workforce. Oh, you want to know what driver I was using? Keep reading to find out!!!

POWER AND PERFORMANCE
If you compare the M18 (Milwaukee’s 18-volt line) and M12, you’ll notice they share the same DNA.
M12 tools are uniquely engineered with Milwaukee’s POWERSTATE Brushless Motor. They are also packed with modern tech like REDLINK PLUS Intelligence that protects tools with best in class thermal and overload monitoring. The battery packs are produced with Milwaukee’s REDLITUIM, a patented design to protect against, drops, water and harsh environments. Just like big bro, the M18 power tools!
I learned the power and volts isn’t everything. Sometimes you do not need all that torque from an 18-volt. During the pallet maze build, I operated the Milwaukee M12 FUEL SURGE ¼ Inch Hydraulic Driver. I was amazed on how much work I got done with little effort on my part. This mighty micro-machine was burying screws like a champ, just like an 18-volt would, and because its light weight, I did not feel any fatigue during the process. Milwaukee M12 Line is punching above its weight class, no doubt about that.
Milwaukee is known for innovation, quality, and consistently pushing the industry forward. The M12 line is no exception. Milwaukee claims they are committed to protect the user’s investment by providing high performing, trade-focused solution that are fully compatible with M12 REDLITHIUM batteries. I’m here to tell you that this is 100% true. They are always adding new and great 12-volt products and I don’t see them slowing down any time soon.
Bottom line is Milwaukee M12 tools are compact, lightweight, and POWERFUL! Buy it and try it. You won’t be disappointed!
